I’m not sure how many people care. I mean, give a shit about stuff like being a good person, being honest and kind, having manners, and the like. How many of us work at being a decent person? I know I do. I’m not writing that with a cocky attitude; just letting you know that […]
I’ve been MIA since my last blog post on April 7th. I had some personal health issues to contend with, but everything is okay, and I’m back. For the last week or so, I could not come up with anything to write about. I thought I had lost my creative writing mojo. Then, my husband […]

The reason is that I have written a book, At What Price, that has some organized crime in it, and I went there for research and inspiration. During the first speaker’s PowerPoint presentation (with photos and newspaper clippings), some people […]
