The Trip Home 

I still could not get my sister to change her mind about my new car, but like a lot of my friends told me, she does not have to drive it so no big deal. But the trip to my sister’s in Burley, Idaho was fun, and I enjoyed her company.

Have You Seen Master

Cosmo here again. I have waited for him to come home these past three days and nights. Master, he up and disappeared. POOF! Gone and I have no idea where he went to. I did noticed that he took that big blue box with him. I observed him placing his garments inside.

Another Positive Review

The mind games played between the killer and his doctor form the dramatic dynamic in this story and propel the plot forward to a fulfilling conclusion. This story is intended to leave the reader unsettled and succeeds on multiple levels.

What Do We Do Now

Cosmo here. Master has been home all week, and I don’t understand why. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed having him home so I can come and go into our home as I please. He continues giving me loves and food, which I require all the time.

My loyal readers the date is important because that’s the date I’m launching my second printing of Edge of Darkness Four Seasons Book One. As you all recall I self-published the first edition through Amazon Kindle in 2018.

Mystery Solved

You awoke just as the sun arose over the hill near your house. “What is that smell?” You ask yourself as you slowly, methodically pull yourself up from the bed and looked about you, trying to remember, remember.

Another Positive Review 

This week I received another positive review for I Albert Peabody, Confessions of a Serial Killer.  As with the Kirkus Review done in November 2023. It’s well received and got a “recommended” from the critic.

An Exercise in Practicality

Like many of you my loyal readers know that I am a fairly frugal person. I look at something hard and make a final decision based in part on cost and on how practical this is. Buying a car is no different.

A Family Tree

I finally received my DNA results the other day and I was more than a bit surprised by the results plus my own family tree is a bit suspect to say the least. It makes one wonder sometimes about the scruples our ancestors have because one entry is very odd to say the least.

Solitude

Noise is harmful to our collective health and like many, I become more agitated and stressed by noise, even ambient white noise that we all too readily tune out, thinking we are in a quiet place. As I have gotten older, I come to realize I don’t need that noise in my life anymore.
