A week has passed and we discovered we’d been hit by Hurricane Olga three hundred and fifty miles from the coast. Most of the power has been restored to our community and I want to thank all the wonderful workers at ACE Power here in Alcorn County for their hard work! And for the men in my church for calling …
What Do You Do When Your Power Is Out?
You write a blog post! Whew! As I sit here typing on my laptop, I’m thankful the backup battery had a full charge when the power went out about seven hours ago. Before dark fell, power saws droned in the background as people in my small town picked up debris left behind after either straight-line winds or an F1 tornado …
More Insurance Claims
Autumn has finally arrived in North Mississippi! While it’s been close to 75 degrees this weekend, there is still a nip in the air. Unfortunately, we had a really wet summer and then it turned off hot and dry, so our leaves aren’t turning like the usually do. In fact, I’m afraid they’re going to go from green straight to …

Myth Buster
As I write this it is a beautiful September afternoon. My hummingbirds are gone, but the butterflies are still here. They love my lantana. I have a feeling there will be challenges to this week’s answer…so let’s get to last week’s Mystery Question. Below are four statements. ONE IS TRUE. Three are false. Which one is true? Marilyn Monroe had …
Myth or Truth?
I’m not sure how many of you are country music fans, but it’s what I cut my teeth on and grew up listening to as a teenager. I’ll never forget these kids getting on the school bus when I was about twelve and telling us that Johnny Cash had spent the weekend with his family and would be there all …
A Few Alibis for You to Consider
Edits are almost finished…just have to read through the whole thing and see if what I changed makes sense. 🙂 Here’s the opening of STANDOFF: What had he gotten himself into? Brandon Marlar leaned back in his chair and chewed his thumbnail. His dad had warned him the last time he’d caught him hacking. “Son, breaking into someone’s files you …
Another Week, Another Dumb Criminal
Oh, me! Time is running out! Labor Day has come and gone…that means I only have five months to write my next book! But I’m working on it as I can. Life has kind of thrown me a curveball, and I’m dealing with a few things, like edits for the first book that came in last week! I will say …
MY SNAKE STORY
In my comments last Friday I alluded to a snake story and told Edward Arrington that he didn’t want to hear it. He replied he would be interested and that it wouldn’t cause him to have nightmares, so here goes. It was many years ago that we owned a farm with a mobile home on it. We would sometimes spend …
