They are each priced at .99 cents although I am trying to get the holiday short to be free it just isn’t an option on Amazon/B & N… Read the Rest »

Christmas Bling

I love Christmas, I mean who doesn’t? I love the decorations, the festivity, buying (and receiving presents), holiday food, and the sheer joy on my kids faces at all I just mentioned. I don’t want to spout religion but I am also thankful for what Christmas represents besides all the fun stuff. This week my… Read the Rest »

Merry Post Christmas

Subscribe in a reader All that build up and it’s over so quickly. As I was cleaning up the mess yesterday from the gifts, toys, and food I wondered if all this work before and after is worth a day of fun and excitement. But then this morning my son said to me that this… Read the Rest »

Merry Christmas

Image via Wikipedia And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?  It came without ribbons.  It came without tags.  It came without packages, boxes or bags.  And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.  Then the Grinch thought of something he… Read the Rest »

Have a great Christmas Eve

Image via Wikipedia I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of… Read the Rest »

I almost peed my pants

Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook was OMG, rip roaring, hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times that my significant other went into the other room to work (I think spitting wine out my nose was the last straw for him). While I also enjoyed Claire’s first book, Must Love Dogs which turned into… Read the Rest »

FREE Stilettos & Scoundrels

Available on Kindle, Nook, iTunes, Kobo, and soon on Audible.
Gently touching the handle of the front door was all it took to make it swing wide open. It was late, after midnight, and everyone in the house except Tom was asleep. As usual, Tom was in his study working late. Walking carefully and quietly through the foyer, the adrenaline began to kick in. The intruder confidently walked into Tom’s study. Tom was concentrating so hard on the papers in front of him that he was unaware of anything else. Raising his hand, the intruder hit a stack of books sitting on a side table, sending them crashing to the floor. Tom spun around with a look of shock on his face as he recognized the person swinging a sharp object toward him. Tom raised his hands to protect himself but he wasn’t quick enough. The spikey end of the stiletto heel punctured his neck instantly, sending a spray of blood over the papers on his desk. He tried to cry out, but all that sounded was a gurgling noise as his lungs filled with blood.

The intruder set the shoe down next to Tom and backed out of the room softly, closing the door to the study and hoping no one would come looking for Tom until morning.
