Sherlocked into My Mind Palace!

This is creepy...

At that moment, tall shapes appeared in the wheat field. People. People standing and staring at the house. No, they weren’t standing. They were floating. Standing up straight, but floating . . .

Happy Halloween Every One !

If we lived in San Antonio, we could make an appointment to have kittens delivered to the office for fifteen minutes of play time.  If you meet one you love, they are also available for adoption.  (Don't tell the boss.)

while "researching" this story, I also learned that National Feral Cat Day was last week.  I missed it.  :(.

so anyway, Happy Cat Day.  Hug your cat.  Like you don't do that every day already.

I need your help. For Kindle Scout to consider my romantic suspense novel, “Sky Garden”, for publication, I need nominations for it. If you have an Amazon account, it’s simple. Click the “Sky Garden” link, and you’ll go to a page with a blue “Nominate Me” button, the cover of “Sky Garden”, an exciting blurb and a chance to read an excerpt. In addition, if Kindle Scout does select “Sky Garden” for publication, on release, you’ll receive a free digital copy! It’s lovely that your kindness will be repaid. So, please, click the “Sky Garden” link and consider helping a great story get published.

For those of you I've been boring all year with my writing struggles, this is the Secret Project. I've blogged about my decision to try Kindle Scout rather than hunting a literary agent for it.

I am sooooo nervous!

This is so sweet.

A lovely story about Einstein and Eddington.

The story of making general relativity known. 

David Tennant as Arthur Eddington

Andy Serkis as Albert Einstein

This is an interesting interview on David Tennant's take on playing Arthur Eddington, who was a closeted gay and couldn't accept his own sexuality.

Sonnet 12 by David Tenant 

SONNET 12

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence

On this day in 1399, Henry Bolingbroke become Henry IV, and the seeds for the Wars of the Roses were planted. Read more on my blog.
