R.I.P. PRINCE

Hello, Everyone

I just want to say that even after four days, I still can't get over the fact that Prince is dead. And as any Prince fan can attest to, we all feel the emptiness he left behind. I still can't put his name and the word "dead" in the same sentence; I just can't wrap my mind around those two words.

I was so devastated and shocked when I read the news on my computer, I called my daughter at her job crying. And now the entire world celebrates his legacy; that's how much of an influence he had. He was just shown riding his bike around Paisley Park a few days ago. How do you go from that to collapsing in an elevator? You just never know.

To show how big of a fan I was, and still am, my first suspense novel, Cause She's a Good Girl, was written in admiration of him; I created a character after him.

Hug your family, say "I love you" everyday. Because you never know--you may lose a loved one in an instant.

Thank you for listening...
