Six Months For Rape
I'm assuming you've all seen this on the news. Do you believe it? What kind of message does this send? The same one that we've been getting for years. Money talks.

Do you think the judge should be removed?
But on a much more exciting note. The United States has its first female nominee for the President of the United States. Regardless of political leanings, we've broken through a barrier.

How Did You Spend Your Weekend?
So, blogster buds, how did you spend your weekend? Did you have a good one?
Saturday we rented Gods of Egypt, which we enjoyed. It was fun. Didn't take itself too seriously.
Sunday we went to the ConCarolinas, a Sci-fi conference in Concord. We didn't have an opportunity to take in a lot of the workshops but we did attend the Ghostbusters vs Ghost hunters, which except for bad acoustics, was quite good. I found out Charlotte has a paranormal society that I wasn't aware of. I did have to chuckle when they started talking about ghosts, whether real or not, for sale on ebay, which is what Ghost For Sale is based on:) And I bought a pretty fairy necklace. All in all a good afternoon. Now what about you? What did you do?
Vampire Island is on sale this week for .99¢ at Amazon.

Dining, Memory and Trivia
So we went to Blowing Rock to spend the day and decided to go to a restaurant a friend had recommended. When we arrived, someone came to the door and told us they'd be open in fifteen minutes and shut the door. Customer service at it's finest. Grin. Anyhoo, we found a place that we really enjoyed, so it worked out perfectly.

My friend was complaining about her memory so I got her some ginkoba. A few weeks later I asked her if she could tell a difference. She told me, she'd forgotten to take it.
~*~And for a little trivia: Dr. Heimlich performed the Heimlich maneuver for the first time at age ninety-six.

IWSG Wednesday
It's not only the first of the month, but the first Wednesday of the month. You know what that means.The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling. This month I'd like to pass on some information about an author app I recently learned about. Some of you may already be aware of it. There's a Free Facebook Author App out there that you can add to your facebook page. It 's a READ MY BOOK icon that let's folks sign up for your newsletter, tell of your upcoming events, allows you to add your covers and links to your buy pages at Amazon. Pretty cool huh? Here's the link: https://apps.facebook.com/authorapp/.
On the home front:
Love, Lattes and Mutants is on sale for .99¢ this month.Love is tough. Especially if you're a mutant.
Moon Watchers .99¢ at Amazon June 1 - 8.Some people find it odd that I hunt werewolves. What I find unsettling is my attraction to Brandon Knight. Why? I think he's a vampire.And........
Sunset is now available at Amazon.
On the surface, Gillian Stone has it all: wealth, beauty, and the freedom to come and go as she pleases...at least from sunset till dawn. From dawn till dusk, she's entrapped in several hundred pounds of marble. And if that's not bad enough, her life expectancy is preordained to be short. Unless, she can find a certain genie and reverse the wish-spell.
I started with this cover:
Really, really didn't care for it and ended up with this. What do you think?

Butterfly Bushes With Flyaway Prices
So I went to one of the popular chains that has a garden center with the intention of buying a butterfly bush. I picked it up and put it in the cart then glanced at the price tag, forty-two bucks. WT_? And promptly put it back. Last weekend we went to the same store in a different town. Their butterfly bushes (a size smaller) were $6.98. Needless to say that one went in my cart and stayed there.
I also picked up this little coleus.
