My Latest Obsessions

I hope to share one a month what I am currently really into. What is keeping me up late at night? Right now, it is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Who doesn't enjoy a female superhero kicking butt? My buddy will tell you that I am watching something familiar, since my spoons are used up. I'll change it to my pen is almost out of ink. This does make a lot of sense. I was very busy this last week. My brain needed a break.

Have you heard of the "Spoon Theory"? To sum it up, it's used for when you’re out of energy. You run out of spoons. In my case, I am out of ink. I'm obsessed with Buffy since I've already seen the TV show and the movie multiple times. I think I've read season 8 comic a couple of times. My brain doesn’t have to think.

I am on Season 2 right after Angel...if you haven't seen it stop reading, this will be a spoiler, but the show has aired over twenty years ago...Angel loses his soul. I forgot how emotional that was. How he acted toward Buffy and how she felt after. And then I remembered she was only 17, and a bit of the ick factor came in. She wasn't an adult. He was. This would not fly nowadays. Why does it matter now? This is a TV show! Why am I so invested in this? I have seen it, and I know what happens.

Fast forward to what will happen. On the TV show, Angel, Angel gets his ex pregnant. The same thing happened on Roswell. They aired at the same time. Angel from October 5, 1999–May 19, 2004 and Roswell from October 6, 1999–May 14, 2002. I have been obsessed with Roswell. Will I be obsessed with Angel? Probably.

I will end this without discussing the allegations made. You can look that up. I'm a fan of the show and the actors who did it. I have a rule if one person says something about my work and wants me to change it, and I don’t want to, I don't listen, but when multiple people tell me or people I trust, I listen. I change what is wrong.

What are you obsessed with?

Until next time,

I'm back with a new release

Hello all! I m sorry I took a long extended break, but I am back and doing what I can to start releasing more books. Without getting into too much detail, the past two years has been hard. We lost Bella, a dog, in August of 2018 after surgery. Our cat, Abu, was sick too twice that year. We could've lost him. He's doing much better.

While this was going on, our last dog, Duchess, has been having health issues of her own a lot. She is being well cared for and I fear the day I will have to say goodbye to her. I honestly believe we are not meant to say goodbye.

My publisher and I parted ways because I could not find the time to write or promote my books. In order to be an author, you need to be full time. I started coming back to writing late last year, and now I've done enough to release the first book in A Town of Murders series. More will come. :)

A Town of Murderers Book 1 The First Scheme

An intruder breaks into Joann Fields home in the middle of the night and kills her husband, David. The evidence, like blood on her clothes and GSR on her hands piles up against her. She’s arrested for her man’s murder.

Mike Carroll is a reporter, who wanted nothing more than a story, and he gets one when Joann asks him for help. The deeper Mike digs the more possible suspects he finds. Joann may not be the innocent victim she portrays herself to be.

RIP Bella, love you forever

#TwitterTales April 2019

Hello! Another month has gone by. I am sorry I got a little busy and didn't post the last #TwitterTales for April 2019. I just posted it on Tuesday. Here is the whole story just in case you missed it:

Gabby rolled down her window and stared at the sign, pointing the way to the mine. Her car wouldn't fit on the road. She would have to hike to get to the top. Before she could do anything, her phone rang. Her ex-husband was calling her.

"How did you get this number?" she answered, her voice filled with venom. She had kept it from him.

"Don't be like that Gabs. Our kids are worried. You quit your job. Where are you?" Ron asked.

"MYODB."

"What?"

"Figure it out." Click.

Ron called again, and Gabby turned her cell off. She didn't want to deal with him right now. She sighed and maneuvered her car to the side of the road. After climbing out, she dug in the back for her gear. Was she crazy for doing this?

Gabby took the piece of paper out with instructions to get to the copper mine. Follow the trail all the way up the mountain. A map displayed the mine. She had paid for a week to prospect but finding copper here wasn't her real goal.

Gabby was tired after the long hike. Sweat rolled down her back. She pulled out her map and checked where she needed to go. According to a couple of locals, the second mine was haunted. She took a swig of water before heading there.

Once she got to the entrance, Gabby called, "Hello?" She wasn't expecting any type of response, not like a ghost would answer and go boo.

A loan moan sounded from deep within the cave.

Just the wind Gabby hoped. Just the wind.

"Ooooohhhh."

Gabby called, "Is anyone there?" When no answered, she went deeper into the cave. After walking for a bit, the path forked. She pulled out her map. reading it with a flashlight. The left tunnel was marked with danger. She went that way.

"Ooooohhhh."

"Hello? I'm here to help." Gabby stopped walking and listened.

"Go back," echoed in the walls.

"Please come out." Her heart was in her throat.

"Look lady." A man appeared. "This is my tunnel." Maybe next time she'll help a ghost.

Gabby didn't find any ghosts at the mine. Maybe she will find them somewhere else. #TwitterTales May 2019 sneak peak:

Gabby drove into the town of Gary. From the stories she read online, this was where she would meet a ghost, and hopefully help them move on. Even the undead deserve to live in peace. Would they be the undead? Or just spooks? Ghosts first.
