Darwin Awards is this week’s Mystery Question. I stumbled across these last week and thought they would make a great Mystery Question. In the Darwin awards, “excellence” is equated with “astoundingly stupid judgment.” Now for the photo and verse. A friend took me up to the Blue Ridge Parkway recently, and when we started, the weather was beautiful. We climbed …
Final Approach (Lake City Heroes Book #4): A Christian Suspense Thriller by Lynette Eason is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line. Air Marshal Kristine Duncan leaned back in her seat, her eyes skimming over the sunrise outside the Airbus 319’s window. But first the photo and verse. I snapped this photo on a day I was feeling down, …
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 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 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 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 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 …
Secrets Between the Shelves, 4 Cozy Bookshop Mysteries by Cynthia Hickey, Linda Baten Johnson, Teresa Ives Lily, and Marilyn Turk is this week’s Reader Friday! Here’s the first line from Murder in the Mystery Section: “I unlocked the door to Through the Looking Glass and flipped the sign on the door to OPEN.” But first the photo and verse. I …
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 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 …
