Yours sounds good, but I can't handle the nasties, so I'll wait for the funny one :) (And I try to write funny, or at least humorous, murder mysteries, so I hope it's possible!).Rebecca M.

So this latest book is really brutal? That isn't my thing at all but I may just read it because I can't stay away from Quaid. <br />Remodelling your condo must have been such fun.

Your poems are delightful ... we think we love - yet it's a disaster and we hurt ... <br /><br />While walking on the beach can just blow our challenging thoughts away ... leaving a blank canvas. Mind you - you've had enough to think about with the remodelling ... so glad it's complete and you're happy.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you around in 2020 - in the meantime have a lovely Christmas and end of year season - then a more relaxed 2020 with time to write - if you can tear your eyes away from that magnificent view - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-36894517509836423352019-12-12T16:29:28.807-05:002019-12-12T16:29:28.807-05:00Thanks, Lee.
