It’s difficult to believe people actually said these things in public, much less in court. But actual recordings don’t lie… But first the photo and verse. This has been my afternoon view this week as I’ve been away at a writers’ retreat with a bunch of my romantic suspense writing buds! The things we’ve discussed…and then there was this bear …
Hunting the Amish Witness ~ Reader Friday
Hunting the Amish Witness by Dana R. Lynn is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: Miriam Troyer gently set the baby carrier she’d lugged up the stairs to her second-floor apartment onto the floor. But first the photo and verse. I have no idea where the photo was taken…probably in my neighborhood and at least 8 or 10 …
More Courtroom Comedy ~ Mystery Question
More Courtroom Comedy is this week’s Mystery Question. I don’t know that I’ll ever run out of these! More show up every time I do a search. First the photo and verse. The photo is of an approaching storm in the Gulf, overriding the cumulus clouds that are reflected in the water. I thought it was an interesting study and …
Fire Mountain ~ Reader Friday
Fire Mountain by Dana Mentink is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: “Cold and ice-pick pain bored into Kit Garrido’s temple.” And that is an awesome opening line! I wish I’d written it. 🙂 But first the photo and verse. Once again, this is a photo of Lake Superior, and I’m not certain if I took it in Canada or …
Crazy Things People Say And Do ~ Mystery Question
Crazy Things People Say And Do is this week’s Mystery Question. But first the photo and verse. The verse is one I learned as a teenager in Sunday School and I’ve always remembered it. I thought it fit the photo because God is in the sky, and the mountains and the sea. This is where I stuck my toe in …

Crazy Things Clients Do and Say 2 ~ Mystery Question
Crazy Things Clients Do and Say 2 is this week’s Mystery Question. It’s really hard to believe these things actually happen… But first the photo and verse. I came across this graphic I made sometime back and wanted to share it again because it spoke to me. Mostly because I heard David Phelps sing the verse put to music last …
Attempted Mountain Abduction ~ Reader Friday
Attempted Mountain Abduction by Jessica R. Patch is this week’s Reader Friday. Since it’s so hot around here, I thought I’d take you somewhere cooler…like the Great Smoky Mountains in winter. Here’s the first line: Bridge Spencer stepped onto his cabin’s porch, shivering at the biting cold, but something icier hovered in the January wind and scraped his nerves like …
Crazy Things Clients Do and Say ~ Mystery Question
Crazy Things Clients Do and Say is this week’s Mystery Question. I ran across these earlier in the week and thought you would enjoy them. But first the photo and verse. I took the photo of the spruce trees (we call them Christmas trees in the South) as we drove down Trans-Canada Highway 1 on Thursday. What a fun trip …
The Puzzle Within ~ Reader Friday
The Puzzle Within by Gina Holder is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: Ari planted her palms flat against the desktop and locked gazes with Senior Special Agent Matt Updike. I didn’t become a federal agent to babysit a diplomat’s spoiled daughter. But first the photo and verse. I took the photo as I winged my way north to …
