Take better care of the 50 states you already have before saying more dumb things.

So apparently Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and predicted four more years of idiocy and has since left the country.

Oh how times have changed...

Nothing personal, my American friends. We gotta do what we gotta do.

I'm starting to think this is the criteria for Trump's cabinet...

No thanks. I'll take a different road.

THE NIGHT CIRCUS x HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE A streetwise thief named George steals a cursed locket that traps her in an enchanted manor with Haru, its brooding and mysterious owner. As she uncovers the curse’s origins, her desire for freedom fades, and she grows closer to Haru. #P2Ppit #Q #YA #F #R

LOST GODS: Sick of her selfish husband & utterly unfulfilled— Cora needs a change. A handsome stranger is happy to oblige. He claims HE'S her husband- and she’s his missing Queen of the Underworld. You'd think she'd remember a thing like that... #P2Ppit #UW #W #R #A #RF #UR #POC #LitAgent

Abby Lunay is just like Sherlock Holmes, aside from her gender, experience, age, location, name, lack of adherence to logic - ok, maybe she's nothing like Holmes, but there's a murder to solve, and she's on it. The Hopeless Cases: It's mystery, comedy, and it's fun. #P2Ppit #UW #Q #P2Pit

The Baneridge Murders There are 2 rules in murder mysteries: 1. There must be a crime for the detective to solve. 2. There must be multiple suspects. You’ll notice there’s no rule stating the detective can’t be the victim. #P2Ppit #UW #Q #P2Pit

Abby is a new detective, and Alyssa would rather be sneezed on by a congested elephant than take your case, but if you’re desperate they’re probably as good as you’re going to get. "The Hopeless Cases" Imagine Douglas Adams writing with Agatha Christie. #P2Ppit #UW #Q

Friend: "When was this photo taken?" Me: "30 years, 30 pounds, and 30% of my hair ago."

That's my favourite board game, too.

Playing it safe in a new year...

Happy New Year, everyone.

What she said.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. When you've got a December 31st birthday, you're used to people counting down the seconds until it's over and then celebrating. Have a happy (and healthy) new year, everyone!

Large dog. Puppy energy.

Proof that some jokes just write themselves.

It was for the grater good...

Former criminal Abby Lunay needs to find a missing person, but there’s a dead detective, a haunted courtyard, & a really unhappy cop in her way. Can she solve it without ending up in jail herself? amazon.ca/dp/B0DCGK11V4 ebook: amazon.ca/dp/B0DCF4VMFD #WritingCommunity #Mystery #Comedy

Well, this hits a little close to home...

This is applause-worthy.

Is this REALLY the best place for the play area?

Clearly, my dog can't read or he doesn't care.

I know I haven't been posting much, but I've been busy working on something...

I know where I am, but I'm not sure how the handbasket got me here.

Great book series!!

This term works for me.

Me: "That's a rather forward question to ask on a first date." Her: ...? Me: "What? Wait, what was it you said?" Her: "I asked if you liked *Felicia*."

If they *did* build this city on rock 'n roll, it really makes me question how construction permits are issued.

So, Ariana Grande is 31... when she was younger was she Ariana Tall? And when she's older, will she be Ariana Venti? These are the sorts of questions that keep me up at night... or it may be the coffee...

In most mysteries, the detective solves the murder. In this case, the detective is the murder victim. It now falls to his two assistants to solve the case in a town that’s trying to drive them out. www.amazon.com/dp/1720136033 eBook: books2read.com/u/m2l5zj
