Archer FAILS AT GARDENING
I wish there was a way to really describe to you the horror of gardening this weekend with Archer. It was like being trapped in a Tasmanian Devil cartoon --- I'd turn my back for two seconds and, next thing I knew, he was dancing across the yard with a plant (pot and all) in his mouth.

It's that time when you get to name something in my upcoming book! This time it is "NAME THE BIG GUY" - Shee goes to an island with a lot of big, muscular guards on it. Most have mythological names like Ra and Ares, but they could be named anything. What would you pick for the name of a big beefy lunkhead?

Author and reader tees
Like a lot of authors, I work at home and my uniform is a tee and sweat shorts/sweatpants. I was sick of my usual collection and bought some new designs from TeePublic.

If you have a juicer, does it bother you when all that stripped-away pulp goes in the trash?
Well, I've got two ways you can make use of it!

In this post: Lemon Meringue pie drama (with recipe), dog pajamas, giveaways and Pineapple Lies - FREE!

I don't know if it is shaping up that 2022 will feel all shiny and new, but I want to thank you all for a good 2021 and I look forward to hearing from you in the new year!
My book release plans include two more Shee McQueen Thriller/Mysteries, three more Pineapples and maybe I'll finally get the final Kilty book finished.

Below are the top poll results of the "What are your favorite mysteries?" poll. If you haven't read these authors, maybe you can find a new favorite in the list. (and thank you to the people who picked me even though I said not to! :) )

So it's official, Archer's more famous than me.
Mike and I watch English Premier League Football (soccer) and they have a thing where you can submit yourself, or your kids or your pets, dressed up for "Premier League Morning." We bought a scarf of our team, the Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) --- which will come in really handy here in South Florida --- and submitted Archer wearing it. Then for weeks we looked for it... and then...

When he's wet, Archer likes to weave repeatedly around my legs in a figure-eight pattern, rubbing himself like a cat. Sometimes he picks one leg to circle instead. When he does he bumps into his own super-long tail... and bites it... turning himself into a neverending circle as he goes around and around.
