At Home in the Shire
My favorite world is always the one without me in it. At least not the me that I am. If I don't align with an actual character in the world I'm reading about, I insert myself as an extra. Someone along for the ride but not interacted with. That part is easy enough because it is how I live my real world life.

The Roads They Take
Alice stared at the message. She blinked. Her mouth went dry. "Is this your daughter?" Was it? Alice enlarged the photo on her phone. It was deliberately blurry. Or maybe it was the bad lighting in the room. But it was unmistakably Ivy. It even had Ivy's name on the account the screenshot came from. Ivy Marie with fire emojis after her name. There was a large flower covering the lower portion where she sat with legs splayed but Alice knew what the flower was covering. "Ask for the link to see the real deal." The caption read. And then suggestive fruit emojis followed.

Review of Netflix Series: iZombie
I've not always been a fan of horror. Too much of it centers around gore and spraying blood and splattering brains. Or, it is too realistic. I really don't need my sleep or sanity disturbed by terrors of horrific individuals that get their kicks in mutilation and murder. It just isn't my thing. But now and again, something pops up in the horror genre than intrigues me. Such was the case with iZombie.

True Tales Around the Campfire
We all have situations in our lives that we are lucky to have survived. As we get older, we look back on our lives and get more willing to talk about things. I'm no different. These are the type tales I tell around a campfire sometimes.

Playlist Eclectica - Vol. 3
Sometimes you need to do something to occupy your time. Something that doesn't put a strain on you. Something that will actually wash the stress away. I do that by surfing YouTube and as I flow organically from one thing to the next, I end up with these very eclectic playlists.

The Law is a Tricky Thing
I hadn't thought of this case in years. The death occurred in the 1970s and came to light in the early 1990s. I worked for a small law firm that took on filing an Ancillary Probate (a second case filed in another state to dispose of real estate there) for a process server that did work for the firm. The man's name was Doug Foote. We had all seen this man in our corridors, and even spoken with him cordially as he popped in and out of the office either picking up papers to go serve, or bringing back affidavits of return of service for papers he had served.

The Rose Thicket
Other than that damn rose thicket, the house was perfect. Three bedrooms, two car garage, corner lot. It was close to the school. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. It was a bit dated but then, it was an older home. The price was a steal. Our realtor said the elderly lady that lived there had passed and her son, now living out of state, just needed to get it sold. To me, it was a win, win for us and for him.

Who Would You Cast if Your Story Was a Movie?
Pick a story. Any story. What could possibly be more fun than writing something people loved? Or getting published? GETTING A MOVIE DEAL! -- And no, that hasn't happened to me. At least not yet. BUT, what if it did? Would you be ready? Do you know exactly who should play the parts in your story?
