  • Writers are weird…

    Over the course of the last couple of months, I have discovered that writers and people who want to be published authors are weird, but in like the best possible way!

  • November’s Prompt

    November is here! Or as I am calling it because it is consuming my time right now, NANOWRIMO is here!

  • Crime Scene

    Reporters are trained to develop a sixth sense, a nose for when a story smells fishy. And something about this one wasn’t right. First of all, Captain Evers was too eager to share.
