Josh’s comments from the Q&A with Josh Lanyon group.

Interview with Brad Shreve for Gay Mystery Podcast

https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...

Nicole Kimberling and I talk books and promotion and so forth.

1 - The glimpses of humanity--of kindness and caring--amidst the chaos

2 - COCKTAILS (my current favorite is the Pineapple Upside Down Martini)

3 - Cool, crisp cotton sheets

4 - Vintage (1960s) romantic suspense

5 - Hope. With or without feathers.

hahahahahaha

I've often thought I would be the pioneer who succumbed on the edge of city limits. ;-D

I've put the following books into Kindle Unlimited:

The Art of Murder series
The Dangerous Ground series
The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks
The Ghost Had an Early Check-out

And of course the Adrien English series is already in KU, though its time there is coming to an end.

It's not just attention span. It's the way we are all educated--programmed--this is not a caring world. This is a ME FIRST world. Me and Mine.

I don't know that is the case globally, but it is certainly the case here in the States.

Anyone who is just waking up to this understanding has been in a coma. :-D

Great! I've already bought the book! Not that I'll take part in the discussion. OR read the book. Because apparently I can't focus on anything longer than three seconds. :-D But I approve of the idea!

That sent a shiver down my spine.

Now days I call anything beyond my own backyard, traveling :-D

Jordan wrote: "I really wish I could have been there, but life kind of got in the way of everything over the weekend. I hope it went well!"

For a first time effort, yes! It went well. And it gave me some great ideas for other events. Like maybe getting the Footsteps in the Dark authors together for an online event.

1 - Summertime reading (I read all day yesterday and it was SO nice)

2 - Homemade chocolate almond ice cream

3 - Learning new stuff, trying new stuff

4 - The option of air conditioning (we're heading for triple digits again)

5 - Scissors. WHAT A USEFUL INVENTION.

UGH. How typical of officious people everywhere to remove the fairy doors and leave all the trash.

Good heavens!

I'm glad you and Adrien are still safe and still confident enough to go out and enjoy the sunshine. <3

Yes, it's a very good start.

And also I sincerely hope you were not one of the people the SO accidentally flashed while running around after his shower. :-D

Karen, thank you so much for showing up! I wasn't sure what the protocol was, so I didn't give a shout out to anyone, but it meant so much to see faces like yours and names I recognized popping up on the zoom boxes. :-)

Oh! And I'll be interviewed by Brad Shreve for the Gay Mystery podcast on Sunday afternoon. I don't think that's live though.
