Georgia Friends
Left to right: Sue Brown, Jane Marie, Sally Whitten |
They went on to tell me how they saw an ad saying the bazaar would take place in a month's time and they made a point of attending, in the hope I would be there, with my 4th novel, Amelia Island's Sand and Sin. I had to tell them it is written and I will begin editing it in 2016. I was very flattered, of course, because their love of the stories was apparent. They "get" the whole Goodbye Lie world. So, please say hi to Sue Brown and Sally Whitten. They are faithful Goodbye Lie-rs, like the rest of us!
Oh, please be sure and share this blog with your friends. We do have some fun and, once in a while, informative times, don't we?

Chimney Pictorial + Velvet Undertow Excerpt
Because I love Victorian era history, I took a course at our Amelia Island Museum of History to learn about the area. That was many moons ago. I never imagined I would complete three period novels set on this island and be working on a fourth in The Goodbye Lie series, as I am now.
I learned many things at the museum, one of which is to look up. To
that end, I discovered the beauty of chimneys! Not such an odd thing, to
my mind, anyway. Statuesque and unbending, oh, what family secrets has the wafting smoke witnessed over time, only to share with the waiting stars by way of those chimneys ...
Excerpt from Amelia Island's Velvet Undertow:
Friends and
volunteer firemen, townsfolk, and strangers stood about, not speaking. Their
faces and bodies were dark with soot, like the dog. They were one with the surroundings. Only glowing
wood and smoldering ash were left, save for five tall brick chimneys. Those
towers rose like markers in an ebony graveyard designating the place where
every ... possession lay burned or charred.
A damaged chimney crowns a building Centre St. in downtown Fernandina on Amelia Island, Florida. Note the bird nests on the left side roof line or was a seed blown high into the air to land and grow between the bricks?

Puppy Paw Strangeness
Our Abby - less than enthusiastically showing her paw. |
Here it is. A dog's feet smell like Fritos. Huh? HUH? In particular, I'm talking about their pads, if they're healthy. I can see it now. All around the world, where this blog travels, readers will be seen sniffing dog feet. Word of advice: Keep it in the family and sniff only your own dog's tootsies. Also, it would be best to do such a thing behind closed doors. If you're reading this blog, and who isn't, your neighbors probably think you're a little peculiar anyway. No need having them call the white coats on you. I smelled one of Abby’s front paws and it smells like a dirty sweeper, with a touch of corn chip, so it must be true! Google it. I did.

Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, rest assured, the better you get to know Peep, the more she'll teach you. - Jane Marie
