I Won’t Be Home For Christmas

 

Vinny mulled things over while sitting in a parked car in an underserved community. The Neighborhood Crime Stoppers resigned years ago, allowing corruption to infiltrate every nook and cranny like melted butter on a hot English muffin. The detective’s officiousness sent him on a wild-goose chase an hour drive from home. This dick didn’t ruminate his personal welfare. The stallion is a risk-taker and ventured into the war zone. His…

Mr. Conroy wrote the novel Prince of Tides, The Great Santini and many, many others. He is an incredible human being as well as a fantastic author. He gave all writer’s a great tip:…

Crossing the Bridge

 

The day we moved out of our Lukens Avenue home, I dug a shallow grave by the gazebo, and buried my paper-dolls, forever. Taking the small toys and bird nest that I found in the playroom when we moved in, I carefully placed the items in a brown-paper bag. Leaving the poke by the backyard swing, I threw a kiss in the air…

Deep Sleep

 

I dialed Steve and left a voicemail. Disappointed, I dropped the phone on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. The camera rolled. I not only acted out the script but I narrated the talking points of the cinemascope footage.

Second Call

 

I no sooner put the receiver back in the cradle and the phone rang. Flopping across the bed like Charlie the Tuna, I should move the phone to my nightstand but that’s too sensible; I lovingly spoke to the caller, knowing their true identity.

“Hi Mom, how are you?” I really didn’t want a two-hour phone conversation considering it is almost nine, but…

I thought that in the spirit of the season, with Halloween just past, and for the UK, bonfire night just ahead, I would post a report from a ghost hunt I did last weekend. 

 

This took place at the beautiful hidden treasure that is Carnfield Hall, in Derbyshire, UK.  I had never heard of the place before, but it is a fantastic 16th Century home, hidden away in the Derbyshire countryside. 

 

Here is the link to the full report on my personal blog site:…

The snow rested on the top of the oak and maple trees while the brown bark still showed below. A similar effect covered the evergreens with green pine needles. Sap affect covering the evergreens with their strong trunks made smooth frozen drops of the rough bark surface. The snow on the ground lay untouched by animal or human wanderings. The natural blanket shimmering as light made its way through the snow-covered branches, making the ground look like glass. The only sound that could be heard… Continue
