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 …
Slugburger History
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 …
Reader Friday – Steven James
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 …

Kill Zone will release October 3, 2017, and is only $.99 for pre-order. I love anthologies. I can …
Human Trafficking: What to Look For
I’ve started REVENGE, my novella with Andi Hollister and Will Kincade, characters from Justice Delayed. It will deal with Andi’s drug addiction and touch on human trafficking. The book that will follow will deal with the subject in greater depth. The working title for that book (the fourth Memphis Cold Case Novel) is Justice Delivered. While I’m excited to write both, as I …
Reader Friday
This week I read Sandra Orchard’s Over Maya Dead Body, and this is a book you won’t want to miss! But you don’t want to read this book without reading the first two, Another Day Another Dali and A Fool and His Monet! Here are the reviews I wrote for each: Another Day Another Dali I love, love this story by Sandra Orchard and hated …
