What happens when a secret threatens to destroy everything you hold dear? How do you hang onto your sanity when your world collapses? These are questions Maverick finds himself searching answers for. Will he find any?

I also got some Sixth Sense vibes. A really well written story, but sad. A life lost so young. I feel like I recognize the writing style so I'm pretty sure I've read other works by this author. I just can't place who it is. I know I'll be smacking my head at the reveal going "duh".

Excellent story. Even if dementia has never touched your life, you have given the readers a poignant look at its reality. For those of us who have live with/loved/or lost someone to that cruel taskmaster who steals memories, you've reminded us that our loved one will always be with us in our hearts. Thank you.

So when are you going to start posting them or is that a secret too? I'm running low on stuff to read!

This is one of the reasons why I'm leery of going. The other main reason is because once you start manipulating your vertebrae, it's an ongoing thing. It always needs adjusting and the chiropractor will never turn away business. There are situations like such as slipped disc's that call for medical intervention and there are other things people can do to keep their spines in better shape. My husband has a back stretcher that helps him tremendously. (Just search Amazon for lower back stretcher... it's black and blue adjustable curved plastic). He also uses a yoga ball to stretch out.

I had that for my knee a few years ago and it didn't do anything. The only that seemed to really help were Hyaluronic acid injections which of course insurance doesn't cover anymore and are stupidly expensive. So hopefully a cortisone shot will do the trick. Aging just plain sucks! The knees have definitely affected everything else. At least that's the story I'm sticking to. Ow! My left pinky hurts! It's my knee's fault! 😆 I've never been to a chiropractor and am honestly freaked out at the thought of someone manipulating my vertebrae.

I find myself ruminating over the process of aging. It seems like every time I approach a milestone age some body part decides either to start breaking down or that it needs higher maintenance. At 40 I realized I my sense of smell was gradually decreasing. I swear I woke up on my 45th birthday and instantly needed cheaters to read anything. 50 made my knees my nemesis and now that 55 is a locomotive barreling down the track that I'm tied down to my hip has decided to join the assembly line of torturous body parts. I can only chuckle, pop some ibuprofen and make an appointment with the orthopedic doctor. Time marches on and we just have to go with the flow and be thankful for the parts that still work and don't give us problems. I hope everyone has a good day!

Have a great vacation!

So far today has been peaceful. I'm hoping it will remain so. Today is my younger son's 21st birthday. I have mixed feelings about it. While I'm happy for him, I'm also a bit leery. Considering everything we've gone through with him lately, having him reach the milestone of legal drinking age is worrisome. However, I can't control his actions nor take accountability for his decisions so I've come to terms with it. We're taking him out to dinner in a bit when my husband gets home from work. I'm hoping it will be a nice evening. We never know with him. So tonight my happy place is going to be a a table with a good pizza and a beer or two!

I'm not a big fan of traditional pie crust. I do love Graham cracker crust though. I'll have to try the oat crust one of these days. I haven't been doing too much cooking/baking lately.

Lemon-- yellow Yellow-- mellow Honestly, most anything lemon-y is pretty damn tasty. My personal favorite is Lemon merangue pie. I've never tried making it but it's a once in blue moon treat I'll buy for a special occasion.

As the above hooligans said...Whiskey is preferred, but really any alcoholic libation is ok as long as it doesn't have coconut in it.

Thanks for this molly. My morning started out horribly but I've learned that certain things are totally beyond my control and I've come to terms with being okay with it. Sometimes a few deep breaths are the best things ever. My day is what I make of it and I'm determined not to let anyone else pull me down with them On a happy note, my best friend's daughter got engaged yesterday. I'm so excited for them. I hope everyone has a good week!

I personally have to join the butter bandwagon because butter is better on biscuits, bagels, and bread. After all it's why we have butterscotch not coconutscotch, buttercream frosting not coconutcream frosting... and we can't forget Butterfingers, can you imagine Coconutfingers (shudders).🤣(yeah, I know coconut oil is healthier, but I rarely make cookies so I'll use butter and consider it treat. Coconut 🤢) Have a great day everyone and enjoy whatever flavor you prefer!

I've got the whole weekend off and other than some light housekeeping, no other plans. I have some chicken I need to divvy up into single servings and freeze. Cookies sound good too.... but when don't they?
-
That sounds lovely. We have a huge backyard but I have the furthest thing from a green thumb lol. It's so hot right now down here I'm don't know how anyone can stand it. At my community the roads are being repaved. I gotta give kudos to the crew. The heat index is over 100 degrees and they're out all day working. I went out this morning and bought $60 worth of Popsicles and frozen juice bars for them and my maintenance staff. I'll keep the freezer stocked for the summer.

I haven't been around too much the past couple of months. I've had a lot of challenges thrown my way and it's been rather rough. But today is the first time in a long while that I really feel happy. So yes... it is a good day.

I have no words. Carlos was a great author and someone who would be brutally honest with you in order to make you a better writer. He challenged me to reach beyond what I thought I was capable of. He will be sorely missed 😥💔

I do miss western Mass. I wouldn't trade growing up there for anything. We've got a trip planned for September and I'm looking forward to going tobthe Big E. It's been 25 years since I last went. I'm rather partial to Capri in Holyoke. I could scarf their pizza every day! I'm glad you found my stories and hope you enjoy them!

2023 Anthology - Leap of Faith Guidelines
kbois commented on Valkyrie's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Why do I have the feeling you're not quite telling the truth? -
Let's just say Aaron has kept me entertained several times with his antics. And y'all thought I was a lush? Pffftttt....

Shall I hold hostage some screenshots of your drunken chat messages? Bwaahahaha!

I agree that series are completely hit or miss. I think the successful ones, and by that I mean those that capture the audience's attention, are those that can tell a story from different perspectives. I like to see how a story unfolds from different character's points of view as long as there aren't too many characters. I tried to read a story once and it jumped POV so many times, I gave up after a couple of chapters because it was too confusing. Having a vision for a series can be complicated. When I first started writing Spirit Wolves I had no intention of writing a series. It wasn't until I let the story sit for two years and picked it up again that I started developing idea for the three part series based on the story. Great article. Thanks!
