3/17/20- 72 Degrees of Tarot: March Tarot Challenge
It's Tuesday, the 17th of March and I'm sure you've all noticed how uncomfortable the uncertainty that's creeping in. Many establishments are closing down (including schools, restaurants, colleges and other businesses). And it's all in an effort to minimize contact and help facilitate some "social distancing" to help get a handle on the spread of COVID-19.

3/13/20 78 Degrees of Tarot: March Tarot Challenge
It's Friday the 13th, but I'm not superstitious, just a little stitious. To be honest, I've never felt much trepidation over the date as the number 13 has always been a lucky number for me and as a magician, very auspicious. Besides, I love every Friday, no matter what number it is!

Five Fabulous Fictional Female Sleuths
Since Edgar Allan Poe kicked off the genre in 1841 with "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", mystery stories have featured, for the most part, male detectives from the Golden Age to the pulp fiction of the 30's and 40's all the way to the present day.

Clever as the Devil: Kimber Cassidy Mysteries #1 - Chapter 1
The Anniversary (press play on the video and keep reading) Music was drifting through the air from a relic jukebox, which was blissfully unaware that there was such a thing as Spotify. I watched the red neon light flash out the window, a beacon for the light foot traffic passing by the bar. On the inside, the ambiance was more dim and subdued, although I thought the word ‘ambiance’ was pushing it for this place.

All the Possible Trajectories of a Frozen Brownie
Sometimes the weirdest things can spark a memory. A little while ago, I just started the biannual-once-in-a-blue-moon-leap-day cleaning of my room and I came across a wadded up white bakery sack. Now you might say, "But Howard, (which would be super-strange, because I haven't introduced myself yet) how can a crummy old cupcake wrapper bring back memories?"
