Dirty Secret is out for consideration. And I’m halfway through Sinner’s Gin. I feel like I should post SOMETHING of what’s being written. Opinions?
Tonight’s Dinner: Lau lau and rice
It’s raining cats, dogs and goats. So since it’s nearly like being home, we’re having lau lau tonight for dinner.
lau lau (taro leaves, beef, pork and black cod with rice and shiso furikake)

Let me show you the land of my people…
I’ve been AWOL of late. Mostly because I went home to visit my Mom in Hawai’i. Got no writing done but hell of a lot of food, driving around and coffee drinking. So…. yeah, I have to get back into the groove of things. No word yet about Dirty Secret from DSP but it’s early yet. Going to dive into Sinner’s Gin since I don’t go back to work until Monday.
A new “leash” on life…
If ever you’ve adopted a “throwaway” dog, you understand the joy of seeing the first time, it actually romps around and smiles.
This is Fiona’s story.
Isn’t she adorable?
This is my rescue mutt, Jaxon P. Fuglestein aka Jax or JJ.

I drove up to the Mojave Desert to get him from a rescue hovel. It really wasn’t the best situation but he got along with my dog, Draven and seemed very sweet. He smelled so bad I was honestly debating stopping at a car wash on the way home to hose him down.
We had to get buck shot removed from places on his body and his teeth were impacted with wood and rocks because that’s what he was trying to eat to survive. A month later, he spiked a high temperature and my vet stayed open past closing so I could bring him down. After a couple of days of fluids and medicines, his kidney was taken out because there was a cactus-like stone in it so large it was rupturing the organ.
He’s much older now. Still not the brightest bulb in the package but a very sweet old man.
I have two dogs from breeders, both are mutants and my baby… my cairn, has severe fear aggression that we’ve been working on for a couple of years. He’s gotten so much better and really adores his older brother, JJ.
If you ever have the chance to adopt a rescue or stray dog, please consider it. They show so much love and happiness.
And finally, if ever you’re looking to pick up guys, Jax is the dog to take out with you because damn, they come across the parking lot to the Starbucks we’re kicking back at to come say hello to him. Just saying.
my brain.
this is my brain having written 28 chapters over the past three weeks.
Pearlfish
Lives inside of sea cucumber. I have no idea how the hell I find these things. And why I even watch them so…there you have it.
Heh…
This is the kind of western I’d want to write.

Dirty Secret is off to Dreamspinner. Wish it luck. Heh. I’m for a nap.
Then off to the new series and its first book.

Doing the final tweaks. Wooot.
So…I’m going to leave you with Kim Junsu, idol, singer and musical actor, to keep you company. Belongs to JYJ (DBSK). Very talented young man.
WOOOOOOOOOOT!
Dirty Secret is done.
And now for something completely different…..
Yes…
They are keeping me company as I round the home stretch.
