Whew! Edits are in for Justice Delivered as of yesterday afternoon at 4:08! Of course, there will be more when the editor that I affectionately call the plausibility police gets hold of it. 🙂 Seriously, my editors are great! They make my books better every time. Now onto last week’s Mystery Question: A seventy-one-year-old man, well-liked by all, was found dead a block from …
A Crime to Solve
It’s been an interesting week getting back into my house. But I am really enjoying having order around me. Have you ever noticed how great that is? Now to just keep it that way. 🙂 Now for last week’s crime: Three of the following reports from the police blotter are true. One is not. Can you guess which one I …
Bathroom Reveal and Reports from the Police Blotter
FINALLY! My bathroom remodel is complete! And here are the before and after photos. First the guest bathroom, which previously was the largest. It had a small entry hall that I took in. Now the remodel: And now for the bathroom off my bedroom. First the before: This was taken from the doorway. I could stand at the sink and …
Can Criminals Get Any Dumber?
After seven weeks, my bathrooms are almost finished, and I’m back home! I spent Saturday waxing and buffing my hardwood floors, and Sunday after church I started putting things back where they go. It may take a day or two for that! 🙂 Since I don’t have mirrors or towel bars up yet, it’ll be next week before I show …
From the Police Blotter
I don’t know how you spent your Saturday, but I spent an hour and a half of mine at the lodge pictured below listening to a very interesting seminar on poisons native to Mississippi. (Can you see where this is going?) Did you know some of the most common plants around us are very poisonous? Like White Snakeroot. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln’s mother …

HaPpY DaNcInG Around Here!
Well, I can finally announce that Justice Buried is a finalist for the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) Carol award! The winner will be announced at the gala at the ACFW conference September 23, but no matter the outcome, being a finalist is already winning. If the award is in God’s plan for me, then good! But if not, good, too. …
Too Dumb to Be True
This past week has been interesting…Montgomery Bell State Park was wonderful. The photo to the left is of a church built in 1810 and is the birthplace of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. When I entered the old church, I experienced such peace. The windows are stained glass and rays of the sun were reflected on the wooden pews. Unfortunately, I …
More Criminals Who Want to Get Caught
The next couple of weeks will be super busy with a remodel going on at my house. (photos to follow – before and after) Plus I’m teaching at the TenKen Writer’s Retreat this week and taking that trip to Natchez the next! So, I’m going back to the criminals who want to get caught stories. 🙂 But first last week’s Mystery …
Do Some Crooks Want To Get Caught?
Sorry, no Natchez photos this week. For those who missed my post Friday, Alberto sort of messed with my plans. On the last date I could switch my hotel stay without paying for a night I might not use, I checked the weather for Natchez. Alberto was coming ashore and all day rain and thunderstorms were predicted for the two days …
