Friday Retro...

A cross roads store, bar, "juke joint," and gas station in the cotton plantation area, Melrose, La. (LOC)

I have an endless fascination with buildings and the stories they have to tell... Can you imagine the wealth of activity in this establishment back in the day?

*Children after penny candy
*Men drinking
*Women dancing
*Locals playing music

Those are just a few of the very human things that could have/probably did go on here, but what about the supernatural things?  Most likely this building sat at a crossroads...there could be demons, ghosts, shifters seeking prey...vampires looking for a sip of their own.  Oh yeah, this building will be fun to write about.

The Grind...


 ~Whew~  It's Monday again and I feel like I need a break already.  Not good.

From an uber-busy weekend where I barely found time to breath, to a week that looks not much quieter, I find myself wondering it this is to be the new standard in my life?

I hope not.  I have writing to do.  ;)

Recently Read Review:

Lover Reborn (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #10)Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it! As usual, I was sucked in...set to spin and wrung dry, but wanting to do it all again. If I hadn't already been in love with Tohr from the beginning, watching him make the hard decisions in this book would have sealed the deal.
