Happy Wednesday! It is the last day of May, and as we’re on the verge of June and summer, I’m in a good mood. I love the light, not the heat. I always share my good mood.
This first story details a fantastic idea for a senior prank.
Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway through May, which means summer is coming. *Cue party music* Until the party really gets going, though, here’s a couple of news nuggets to chew on.
The optional question this month: When you are working on a story, what inspires you?
That’s a tricky question. Inspiration varies book by book. During my first and third books, I ripped inspiration from the headlines. Those stories are contemporary and situational, and they speak to a “what if” thought process. My second book, on the other hand, is the first in a fantasy series, and as such, immersing myself in books and series that are also somehow fantastical help me feel the necessary swirl of otherworldliness.
Books one and three are why I continue to focus on the weekly news up next. The music—something I actually used for all books—an homage to the rest of my journey. Time for both.
This first story is forcing me to rethink my complete revulsion to rats. Well, a little.
Happy Wednesday! It is a windy hump day in my neck of the woods, but part and parcel for spring. Since I haven’t yet blown away, I can share a bite of news.
This first story tells the tale of the biggest “small” heist ever.

The optional questions this month are – Do you remember writing your first book? What were your thoughts about a career path on writing? Where are you now and how is it working out for you? If you’re at the start of the journey, what are your goals?
When I started writing my first book in 2013, I had zero clue where I was going. After dabbling with short stories and poems, I was struck by the idea that became my first book. I stumbled through learning how to write three first person POVs, and in that process I became hooked. Since then, I have completed three books, began the plan for the proposal of the second book in my fantasy series, and a shiny new idea has recently poked its head up. I’m not as far into my journey as I’d like to be, but I am no longer at the beginning. Always onward!
And now, time for some news.
My first story tonight has one thing after another. Many criminals make strange decisions that get them caught, but this guy seems to have gone way beyond strange.
Welcome back for another Wednesday. It’s mild in my neck of the woods, but we’re staring down the mid 60s this weekend. Spring has sprung. I know I ramble on about weather a lot, but man oh man, I love certain seasons. Time to enjoy some news as much as I’m digging the weather.
When I read the headline for my first story tonight, I was completely baffled about the reasoning behind making wooly mammoth meatballs. After reading the story, though, I get it. It’s a brave new world, folks.
