cj Sez: For the first time in a very long time, I
spent most of last weekend reading best-selling
author Susan Yawn Tanner’s Storm Out of Texas, book 3 of her Bellamys of Texas series.
It’s free on kindle unlimited if you’ve a mind to
join me…
I’m not a particularly fast reader, but I promise
a review when I’m finished.

One of the things about Facebook that drives me
batty is when the FB algorithm gets an earworm of a subject, and I wind up getting
several iterations of “suggested for you” posts on the same subject, yet all from
different sources. The subject might be football, college sports, movies from
the 50s and 60s, etc. Today it’s Placido Domingo, whose amazing tenor voice I
love, but … Today I’ve hidden about twelve of those FB posts. Hiding them “forever”
is never forever. You?

No reason for procrastination news item:
All of my local TV meteorologists report that Arlene,
the first named storm of the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season, is struggling in
the Eastern Gulf of Mexico.
I can now testify that the system poses no threat
to my home here on the Gulf Coast because it's drifting South. The downside of that news is that now I have no preparations to attend to and no excuse not to get back
to editing the story that should have been done aeons* ago.
This story has had
me bumfuzzled, and I’ve changed the story line and title dozens of times. It’s
like, “Oh, look. Maybe I should do that.” I need to discard all 45K words but
can’t because I keep thinking there’s a nugget in there somewhere.
(* “Aeon” definition: A period of immeasurable duration.)
§§
Blatant self- promotion:
Released in April of 2021, THE DAWGSTAR is a suspense/thriller novel with a
touch of romance. And I find that its international intrigue premise is still timely and relevant. I bet you will, too.
When friends are murdered, she and the CIA ex-husband she still loves
must race to uncover the clandestine threat behind The Dawgstar before she
becomes the next to die at the hands of a psychopath.

I didn’t find this special YouTube song in time to
post it last week. It’s a sentiment I fervently support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCGS8E41-YQ
§§
That’s it for this week’s post. You-all guys keep
on keeping on, and I’ll try to do the same. Raising prayers for a happy and
safe summer…with lots of time for reading!
