LAKE EERIE: Haunted Homicide, by Thornton Parsons
   The police photographer snapped pictures of the body in the rowboat. Special Agent McCreary ruminated on the initial K that Renda had written in her own blood—she had recognized her killer! Trapped in a dark future between here and the hereafter, Renda Rousseau finds that even in death, she cannot escape the weasel with the Coke-bottle glasses who murdered her family. Despite her ethereal rage, she is unable to contact her twin sister, Brenda, who knows that Renda is still at the lake house. But, why? Renda will capture your heart as you join her on her heart-stopping quest to leave her ghostly realm and join David and her children in Heaven. But how? Is she doomed to haunt the lake house for eternity? Relive this riveting tale of love, betrayal, and death with Renda as she makes her way back Home. Or does she?

Whats not to like about conspiring to commit murder? 

IS JESUS SERIOUS? A Garro Guide for Christians
    If, like me, you struggle with some of the behaviors Jesus asks of His followers and with St. Paul's telling us we are called to be saints, I write this 4th Volume in The Jesus Series, "Is Jesus Serious?" to speak to Christians' personal struggles to meet Jesus's and Paul's expectations.

Things have been pretty quiet around here this week. Except Monday night my baby sister snuck out and stayed out all night lonnnnnnnnnnng! It's shameful how sneaky she is. She tried it again last night, but I woke Roger up and told him and he got right up and made her come inside. Yes, I know I shouldn't be a tattle-tale, but it's embarassing for me to be a Tom Cat when it's my baby sister who goes sneaking around all night, singing loud songs to the full moon. It sure was a pretty moon, though.
Meanwhile,  if any of you -- my favorite authors, are going to festivals, or holding book signings, or have heard any good gossip, please let me know so I can pass the news along right here for all the world to See.
