Next up in The Writer’s Alphabet is the letter K. K could be for Kindle Worlds, where K could also be for Kinder Garden, my first novella in the Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mysteries World, but it could not be for Baker’s Dozen, my new release. But I think K is for Killin’ it! As I work

For my husband’s birthday, we went out to eat, to a show, and back in time. We joined a rowdy AARP crowd of Crazy 80’s people at the Arcada in Saint Charles, IL for the Retro Futura tour featuring Annabella (of Bow Wow Wow), Katrina (ex of Katrina and the Waves), Men Without Hats, Modern
