How would I spend a perfect day in Paradise you ask?

Okay, maybe you didn't ask, but I would spend it ambling along a shaded trail with my dog Nala, burying my nose in an engaging novel (ideally one with a ghost or a dog or both), closeting myself with pen and paper, connecting with happy readers, and finishing the day with pasta and pinot in the company of loved ones.

Warm sand and gentle waves preferred but not required.

My goal is to be the go-to girl when it comes to ghost novels. I review some (and I even wrote one), but I've definitely read more than I can ever review. You can find me (please do) in the supernatural reading group when talk turns to ghosts. Drop me a line. Tell me what you're reading. I'd love to hear from you (and it do

Am I right?

A couple of days ago I came across a Facebook post by a family member, one who is related to me by marriage. She was posting in response to the Charlie Kirk assassination. Here is her post:

“I hate democrats. Plain and simple. They are horrible, dangerous, DEADLY people.”

And her post was followed by two

Dave Barry
“In the old pre-technology days, it would have been almost impossible to replicate Facebook or Twitter. The closest you could get would be to mail dozens of postcards a day to everybody you know, each with a brief message about yourself like: "Finally got that haircut I've been putting off." Or: "Just had a caramel frappuccino. Yum!" The people receiving these postcards would have naturally assumed you were a moron with a narcissism disorder. But today, thanks to Facebook and Twitter, you are seen as a person engaging in 'social networking'.”

Stephen  King
“So okay― there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You've blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.”

Deb Atwood That sounds good, Nicole.

I have a question. Is the title Sightless Spirits an allusion to a Percy Shelley poem?


message 5: by Nikki

Nikki Palm Hey Deb, thank you for your friendship:) I really look forward to getting to know you. Hopefully we can chat soon.


message 4: by Deb

Deb Atwood Sounds intriguing. You're definitely ahead of me in the process.

Best of luck!


Lorelei Orion Hi, again, Deb. Yes, I'm an author. I'm new here, and I'm still trying to figure it all out. I'll add my book cover, and I think it will take you to the book.

Thanks,
Lorelei Queen of the Stars (The Royals of Adriel, #1) by Lorelei Orion

Deb Atwood Thank you, Lorelei. Are you an author, too? I find the author pages difficult to navigate.
