Sunshine Valley

Not really a secret     Simon was lying in the bed reviewing his schedule. Not a lot was happening. He prayed for snow, that meant work cleaning driveways. He was startled when Rebecca jumped in the bed. Laughing he asked, “happy?”      She purred in his ear as he laid his phone onContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Book review: Murder as a Fine Art

Murder as a Fine Art I read Jdelveaux’s review of Murder as a Fine Art. Truly, I was hooked at the mention of Victorian England. I borrowed the audiobook from hoopla that very day.  David Morrell (the author) tells us, at the end of the book, he spent 2 years submerged in the world ofContinue reading “Book review: Murder as a Fine Art”

Father daughter      Jack bundled up against the cold as he and Evie walked around Sunshine Valley. The mad dash that has became Christmas was over. Most folks had returned 80% of their gifts or had stored them to be regifted. A light snow was falling, most folks were snuggled in their houses.    Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”

The holidays      Doing 3 community dinners back to back was exhausting. And Evie couldn’t imagine how Della felt.       Thanksgiving and Christmas, Evie reached out to some of her old friends from her past life to help. Few people in Sunshine Valley wanted to give up their holidays with their family toContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Once there was darkness       Evie was still on a call when she opened the door for Dillon. She smiled, kissed him on the cheek, before returning to the kitchen.       He stood frozen, watchin’ her as (to him) she bounced off. The fabric of her shorts gently movin’ in the opposite directionContinue reading “Sunshine Valley “

Reflection      Dillon had a random Wednesday off. With really, nothing pressin’ that needed to be done. Evie had a full day of appointments. He wandered up to the upper barn and sat with his back up against the weathered aged wood. First making sure not to sit in anything gross. Then stretched outContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

The journey of learning

I have posted a few segments on my self-publishing journey. It’s not super easy to start with. But it seems to be my nature to always take the hard road.  There are some really great pieces of information out there. And of course, some not so great.  Two of my works, wasn’t showing up inContinue reading “The journey of learning”

After The Peel’s     Dillon asked as Stella cleaned their table, “may I ask you something?” He directed his attention to Stella, “thank you.” She nodded, smiled and left.     “Anything,” Evie smiled.      “You told me you wasn’t good at reading a room. I can’t make that make sense with whatContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Russell’s Muscles      Dillon was settin’ on patrol, his eyes were glazing over after only 45 minutes. Used to, he could sit here all day and be fully alert. Ready for anything. His phone vibrated on the seat beside of him. Evie had added a lunch meeting at Della’s to her calendar asking ifContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”
