A columnist in the Sunday newspaper yesterday wrote about aging, and one of his comments struck me as odd. He said getting older made him think about doing more things to make others say nice things about him after he's dead.
Hmmm. Why do we care?
Being dead means you can no longer hear what's said by the living, so why do we spend so much time thinking about how we'll be remembered? Some people... Read more of this blog post »

Happy Release Day Peg!!!To celebrate - AuthorIsland is throwning you an all day cyber launch party today!
Today at www.CyberLaunchParty.blogspot.com , we're celebrating the release of THE DEAD DETECTIVE AGENCY by Peg Herring which kicks off her new Dead Detective Mystery Series.
THE DEAD DETECTIVE AGENCY by Peg Herring
Young secretary Tori Van Camp wakes one morning on a luxurious ocean liner where she is offered whatever a person might desire: food, clothes, recreation, and the companionship of congenial people. But Tori has no memory of booking a cruise. What she does have is a vivid recollection of being shot point blank in the chest.
With the help of the stunningly handsome Mike and the unnervingly serene Nancy, Tori soon learns the purpose of her voyage. Still, she is haunted by the image of the gun, the crack of the shot, and the malevolent face of the shooter. Who wanted her dead, and why?
Determined to find out, Tori enlists the help of Seamus, an eccentric but shrewd detective. Together they embark on an investigation unlike anything Tori ever thought possible. Death is all around, the future is uncertain, and if Tori does not act quickly, two people she cares about are prime candidates for murder.
The Dead Detective Agency marks the start of the new Dead Detective Mystery Series. According to Leslie Brown, senior editor at LL-Publications, “Peg Herring navigates the twin worlds of life and death with all the skill of a master sailor, or in this case, a really awesome cruise ship director. The Dead Detective Agency is a light-hearted book about the journey of dying, the regrets of a half-lived life, and the guides who help us make sense of it all.
