Just finished 'Postcard Killers' by James Patterson and Liiza Marklund. A quick read about a couple of serial killers set in Europe. Mostly set in Scandinavia with a marked similarity in setting to "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.' Lead character is cute and feisty. Not too memorable.

Happy Birthday to my daughter, Jennifer, and my niece, Stacey. Two beautiful hardworking girls. Hope you both have time for some fun today!!

Another fantastic meeting tonight with my critique group, Critical Realm. Enlightened authors offering workable solutions to problems, characters, and situations. Thanks, guys. And great snacks too.

Have a friend or relative who's a writer or a reader? Pondering the perfect birthday outing? Take them to Chapters and turn them loose. Buy them a book or a gift card and a cup of tea. They'll love you forever.

Great auction for collectors coming up on the holiday weekend. Check our McLean's in Lindsy and Haydon Auction barn as well - May 21st. Should be some stellar collectibles as well as good hot dogs. I have my eye on some Medalta crocks that look interesting for my collection.

Mother's Day

Hope everyone had a great family day yesterday. We went out Saturday night to the opening of a fabulous new smokehouse restaurant in Port Perry, called Whittington's. The food is fab - down home cookin' at its best. Live band or DJ on Saturday nights. Good times.
