Brain Dump

I've discussed this before, but clearly the WH wasn't listening as their science specialists are using taxpayer money to study the possibility of dimming the sun by putting stuff in the air. You know like volcanic ash. Oh, wait, they're ignoring all the volcanic eruptions because we can't possibly learn anything from nature because man is somehow smarter. Let's ignore the world changing eruptions. Countdown from All That's Interesting, yes, it's real website. Mount St. Helens, 1980, was the largest in USA history but nothing compared to others. Thera 1645-1500 BC, you know, the one that created Santorini, Greece. Vesuvius 79 AD and Tambora 1815 - personal favorite as it created the Year Without Summer (that title doesn't raise any warning flags, apparently); I have to work it into my Regency stories. Krakatoa 1883, and let's not forget Mount Pinatubo 1991, which is still affecting the planet. It doesn't take a science degree to know that dimming the sun is a stupid idea. It's like these "experts" never opened a book and think they can invent the wheel from scratch better than it was done the first time. And yes, that's a heavy dose of sarcasm. None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

TBR 2022

126. The Pebbled Path (Happily Ever After Collection Timeless Romance Anthology 20)  by Sarah M. Eden fantasy romance. A fascinating twist in the fairytale.

127. Black Fern (Happily Ever After Collection Timeless Romance Anthology 20)  by Julie Daines fantasy romance. A new to me author, I loved this variation on the fairytale. I'd like to read one of her other books.

128. Scarlet (Happily Ever After Collection Timeless Romance Anthology 20)  by Heather M. Moore fantasy romance. Spooky twist on a fairytale. A Halloween read for me. Remember that I don't do scary, so this was unnerving for me but probably not for most people. I enjoyed it.

129. So Rare a Power (Happily Ever After Collection Timeless Romance Anthology 20)  by Annette Lyon fantasy romance. Another read fit for Halloween. Captivating.

130. Soldier Dogs: The Untold Story of America's Canine Heroes by Maria Goodavage nonfiction. Dogs are amazing creatures, and the bond between humans and dogs remarkable. This may be a difficult read for some as the author shares the grim side as well. I almost stopped reading several times. I know things aren't all roses and lollipops but having that confirmed is heart-wrenching.

Are you ready for Halloween?

Celebrate with a story.

Secondhand Samhain 

The seventh novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Jan Connor, the new manager of the secondhand shop Vintage Holiday, loves her job, her town, and her life. She doesn't need anything except a little bit of help. Her annual Halloween birthday party isn't coming together, and her antiquated computer system is only making it worse.

Trent McDonald, computer guru extraordinaire, is looking for a place to call home. His brother, Cowboy, suggested Holiday might offer what he needs but never mentioned Vintage Holiday's pretty shop manager.

Between one breath and the next, God changes everything...
