Hiding also.

You should be happy! Sending lots of positive thoughts your way. I'm glad everything is going well after your surgery! Sorry you're dealing with all that. Fingers crossed that it starts healing like it should! I've had one of those days where people have done nothing but bitch and complain. I'd like to tell them where to stick it, but I'd be out of a job. Instead, I shut them down nicely then swear at my scanner when it keeps jamming. Lol. Oi... Friday the 13th!

Good words to remember. "Normal" is the only thing that is abnormal it seems. I don't know very many people who don't admit to having mental issues affect them in some way. It makes family dynamics a true labyrinth. The best we can do is to ask for help when we need it and not blame ourselves for someone else's issues. Now go recommend and review. Lol.

This was easy to miss as it was part of the Secret Author submissions. As I've said before, dealing with mental illness is no "one size fits all" either for those living with it or those living with them. Everyone's journey is unique and we all just need to adapt the best we can when it comes to our interactions with those suffering from any of the hundreds of diagnoses out there. Hate isn't always a choice. My son's brain is wired in such a way that he can't always be in control of his emotions. Hate, anger, impatience, annoyance; these are all things that can appear at the drop of a hat for either no apparent reason or a reason that seems inconsequential to myself and husband but in his world are a much bigger deal. It sucks never knowing what could trigger him. You know I love big words. Lol.

This year has been busy. It's also been tough emotionally, which is why I had a bit of writer's block trying to finish Caleb's story. Writing has been a good distraction and coping tool. I'm just happy the stories came out OK. Your feedback is always spot-on and truly appreciated.

After the serious tone of last year's anthology For Better or For Worse and the wicked darkness in the Secret Author story Baring My Soul it was time for me to do something fun with a HEA ending. Also, it had to be uncomplicated. I got enough going on with The Light at the End of the Tunnel. Lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

You can have your cats... I'm sticking to dogs from here on out. Thanks for reading!

Thanks! The building is partially based on where Showfolks of Sarasota is located. It's a red and white striped building, but not round. I used to drive by it going to work. Inspiration comes from many places. Lol.

I wouldn't know much about territorial cats, but insomnia? I wish I could just plunk my head down and fall asleep. Not meant to be.

Nick needed to grow a pair and I'm happy he did so at just the right time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Well, it's gonna stay. We can't edit anthologies once they're posted.

Her passing was especially painful and the world is a little less bright. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I would never attempt to bathe a cat. Nope. Non. Nada. Nyet.

You never know what's going to happen when you step out your door. Thank you for reading!

How... that has been the big question ever since they discovered the pups. Asa’s electrician skills better be top notch if he's going to use them on Caleb. Yes, I'm sure that line was used before. The Krew is always up to no good.

You have such a great way with words. Poetry was never my forte. I've done some, but nothing to write home about.

I'm sure Gnomie would welcome you with open arms 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Close. One of those tree-hugging, granola munching, raise the protest placard types where no one shaves including the women. Modern day 60s hippie but driving a Prius instead of a VW bug/bus.

Definitely could be? You're as bad as me.

Aaron has created a world where humans are the lowly, angels are the pretentious holier-than-thou, demons are the mischief makers and then there's Pelly. Caught in the middle, he's just trying to keep his head down and lay low. Until he hits the City of Sin. Head on into this tale with eyes and ears wide open. Aaron gives a wonderful glimpse into a world beyond our own. The humor alone is worth the read.

Thanks Howzat! They do make a cute couple.

Sounds like he had serious issues.

That was a nice, light-hearted story with a happy ending. Great addition to the anthologies!

Not sure how much clearer it can get on the cover page right underneath the top photo!

LOL. Snort. Giggle. Guffaw. Just a few of the reactions I had while reading this again. Understated, snarky humor sprinkled throughout.... my kind of read. I loved the way Pelly is clueless about so many things despite having lived several centuries. Oh, and this: Florida might be viable. The faith’s gone, from what I hear. While true, wouldn't those earthy-crunchies in Oregon be a better deterrent? Well done, my friend, well done.
