Welcome to Earth
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. As my followers know, I’m rarely at a loss for words. This blog prompt stopped me in my tracks. I ran through a list of people I could interview. My husband? My sister? One of my kids or grandkids? I wanted something funny. There’s enough … Continue reading Welcome to Earth

Never Flinch by Stephen King
Anyone who knows me, knows I am a huge fan of Stephen King. As such, I’ve reviewed every book of his that I’ve read. I haven’t loved every one. I have found value in every one. That being said, “Never Flinch” is not one of my favorites. The primary characters in this tale of suspense don’t pop off the page as many of his other … Continue reading Never Flinch by Stephen King

Hidden Gems of TV Writing
Have you ever heard of Robert and Michelle King? While their names might not strike a chord, series like “The Good Wife”, “Brain Dead”, Evil”, and the recent “Elsbeth” will probably ring a bell. To be up front, I never got in to “The Good Wife”. (That may be about to change.) In 2019 I got hooked on the television series “Evil”. It is a … Continue reading Hidden Gems of TV Writing
The Mystery of Jack the Ripper
I was robbed on February 15th, 2025. Excited by the discovery and revelation, I was equally disappointed that one of my favorite mysteries had apparently been solved. “Historian Russell Edwards says he has identified Jack the Ripper as Aaron Kosminski through a DNA match of a shawl found at the scene of one of his murders.” Like many earlier theories, this one has also been … Continue reading The Mystery of Jack the Ripper
