So Derek comes to me one day and is, like, "when are you free, we're gonna talk about Peter Cushing." Because he knows I'm gonna say yes to talking about Peter Cushing so he doesn't even ask. So we talked about Peter Cushing. And I did mention Dark Shadows, so there's that.

Writing this section was rough and I definitely felt some type of way. But I also didn’t realize until I was editing how topical I had ended up making this and how much of it was me working through my feelings about the world right now.

And so it begins… Andreas’s journey to becoming the legendary Count Petofi starts in Vienna in 1767, with an invitation to a small social gathering. Will things go well? Of course not, there wouldn’t be a story if they did. So read on for the drama! Also, evil garden in French is Maljardin. IYKYK.

The Ingrid Pitt Files is going on hiatus again (I will finish it someday) while I attempt to get back into writing by doing a project that I have wanted to do for a long time and celebrates my love for Dark Shadows for the shows 60th anniversary this year. I will run the story in my blog monthly over the course of the next year.

Dominique, my darling,                I hope this letter finds you with all the health, wealth and wisdom you can suck from you…
