This past week I spent time at Destin with my family, so my blog post is a little short. 🙂 I had no idea the waves could get so high down there. I almost thought I was in Hawaii! Last week’s Mystery Question. Which one of the following technologies is incorrect? Generic property marker: a water-based solution that can be …
Reader Friday: Coming Home
This week I’ve been reading stories from Coming Home, A Tiny House Collection. The one I’ve enjoyed most so far is a suspense by Chandra Lynn Smith. The Light that Holds Her grabbed me when the heroine started finding yellow marbles everywhere. And then she discovers a wife abuser is coming after her. Where do you hide in a tiny house? I n …

Crime Doesn’t Pay
I am excited to report I’ve just finished my novella for The Kill Zone: Ten Deadly Thrillers! It was satisfying to finish Andi and Will’s story from Justice Delayed.

Reader Friday: A.H. Gabhart
This week I’ve started a class on writing cozies by Melissa Bourbon so I may be featuring cozies this month. 😉 In case you don’t know, I plan to write a cozy murder mystery set on a modern day paddle wheeler on the Mississippi. And what is a cozy, you ask? It’s a Murder, She Wrote type of story, usually …
These Hallowed Grounds
I had planned another post for today, but Saturday a friend came from Ohio and another friend and I took her to The Catfish Hotel and then onto Shiloh. I’ve been to the military park many times, and seeing row after row of markers always affects me. This time was no different. Total casualties were 23,746 men including 3,254 men who …
Reader Friday: The Priority Unit
What a short week it’s been. Because I’m trying to finish Revenge for the Kill Zone anthology, I’ve only read one book this past week, but I really enjoyed it. The Priority Unit by Susan Page Davis kept me reading way past my bedtime, so I’ve gotten by on only six hours sleep a night. And I had to make myself put it …

As I promised last week, here’s a little history on the slugburger. But first, the answer to last week’s mystery question is #2. Quite a few of you got the correct answer. Now onto the slugburger. John Weeks grew up in Chicago and moved to Corinth, Mississippi, in 1917 with his four brothers, bringing with him a hamburger recipe that he …

As I’ve told you in the past, I’m working on two stories dealing with human trafficking and that means digging into the underbelly of this crime. However, there are others who have written fictional stories on this subject, so some of my research is done by reading those books. Last week I read Every Crooked Path by Steven James. Readers, I’m …
Would you eat a Slugburger?
Last weekend our small town had a Slugburger Festival. We had things like music, amusement park rides, and an eating contest where more than a hundred and fifty people gathered around the tables during the ten-minute competition to see who could eat the most slugburgers. Now, you may be wondering just what a slugburger is, and that is the Mystery …
