#ThursdayThoughts with M. E. Bakos!

Good Morning Friends,

Last month I introduced you to a new-to-me author, ME Bakos when she shared treasures with us. Today ME returns with something to think about.....

My cozy novels are set around home improvement projects. Many cozy mysteries are set around cooking and I am sadly lacking in that arena. I don’t care to cook. If I bake, I have to eat it. I’m not crafty. My handmade projects, look well. . . handmade.

DIY and home improvement are in my blood. My father and one grandfather, along with an uncle were in the construction trades. In my many bad day jobs, I would dream up a project and fantasize about how great the project would look completed. I would gather the necessary items for the mission and finally DIY. It’s how I kept those jobs without risking an income.

Katelyn Baxter, my heroine, is living out my fantasy life by making a living by redoing
houses. Many of the projects she does, I’ve done. Many of the obstacles in DEADLY FLIP are
ones I’ve encountered as a home owner. Now, I prefer having projects done, rather than the nitty
gritty of doing them myself. A prime example, drywall. Been there, done that. My advice: Get it
done!

I am always searching out little tips to make home as nice as I can. My latest tip: to remove rust stains from a ceramic basin, take a piece of lemon and rub iodized salt on the stain. It may take more than one application. You’ll find more tips at the back of FATAL FLIP and DEADLY FLIP. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy FATAL FLIP and DEADLY FLIP. Please visit my website and friend me on Facebook, M. E. Bakos, Author or Email me at: mebakos@yahoo.com

Thank you so much M.E for sharing with us!
Good luck and God's blessings with your books and writing.

If you love cozy mysteries, check out these books, friends and check back with me regularly for more great books and authors on Tuesday Treasures, Thursday Thoughts and Saturday Spotlight.

Until next time take care and God bless.
