A Nice Surprise for Inara

And for me as well, of course!  One of my Google alerts brought up this link to Blood Red Pencil and I found a lovely little review of Ripping the Bodice by author  Charlotte Phillips, along with recommendations for some other fun reads for adults. All of which I plan on checking out, along with Charlotte’s books!  Unlike many of my fellow authors, the thought of an expanding To Be Read pile fills my heart with joy and anticipation rather than dread.  I loves to read, I does…  

A little info on Charlotte while we’re here: 

 Charlotte Phillips is the co-author of the Eva Baum Detective Series, 2009 President for The Final Twist Writers Group and contributor to multiple blogs. Learn more about Charlotte and her books here!

Thank you, Charlotte for a lovely and unexpected treat on this rainy Friday!  

Best Cat Video Ever

At least for THIS week.  I haven’t figured out how to embed a video in my blog yet (the last time I tried, the formatting went ALL to hell in handbasket), so please click on the link here.  This is for all my non-Facebook pals (although this will be shunted over to Facebook too, so those of you who saw my link there can ignore this).  Jack, I think you will be especially amused…

This Says It All…

Actually I’ve been on Decaff for the last two months, at least during the week, and I can’t really tell the difference.  For me I think it’s the smell of coffee that really perks (sorry) me up in the morning.  That and the jolt of caffeine from the dark chocolate (chili infused) I put in my mocha.  Other people swear on their caffeinated java to get them going and keep them going throughout the day.  My doctor says caffeine is the root of all evil, right after alcohol.  Other people in the medical profession say caffeine is good for you in small doses (there’s a study that says women who drink coffee are less likely to commit suicide), as is red wine.  If anyone figures this out, let me know!
