When I do have those few moments I like to put on some old jazz. Usually something in the time period I write in 1930s' and pour me a glass of bourbon.

My first book by Freida was Never Lie and it was my favorite read of the year. Then I read The Housemaid and this was even better.

“Those Yankees made one huge mistake.  They couldn’t find a way to kill our resolve.  A Southerner’s pride runs deep, and we found the resolve to rebuild our way of life and Drayton Plantation with it.  This house and this land are symbols of what we have been through and what we have yet to become.”
Ron Plante Jr., The Holy City Hunt

“Whiskey is made for drinking not making love”
Ron Plante Jr., The Holy City Hunt

“Always better to ask for forgiveness than permission”
