TJ Wilde Trilogy · Duxbridge Mysteries · Jennifer McCaffrey Mysteries
…and then the murders began.
Each chapter was sent out to family and friends, just so I wasn’t writing in a void. I needed their feedback, which I accepted gratefully. What I also got were demands for the next chapter and the next. Five chapters in, I realized I was indeed, writing a novel. Besides, by that time, TJ, Colby, Nick, et al, were very much alive for me and I wanted to see how their stories would end. For some, not so great…
I know. Eeewww. But earwigs are the bane of my gardening existence. They eat more of my young vegetable plants than any other pest.
I was on the phone with a friend and he was going through a coffeeshop drive-thru. He said he had ordered a mango-strawberry lemonade. As it was ridiculously hot here, it sounded perfect.
Only thing is, I’m not fond of paying $5 for a small drink. I’m funny like that, LOL. So I decided I needed to make my own.
I’m not a fan of really sweet drinks, so I modified it to be more fruity, less sugary. You can adapt easily. Substitute lemonade or orange juice for the sparkling lemon water.
Strawberry-Mango-Passion Fruit Refresher
Take equal parts of frozen:
Jasper turns 10 this week. He’s as goofy as ever. Slowing down just bit, sleeps a bit more. But morning zoomies are still his routine and daily walks are a must. And taking care of his girls, kitties and of course, Nora.
Once it was established who TJ was running from and where she was running to, there were many other questions to be answered. The problem was, I didn’t want to write a novel. I had just left my job and opened my own business. There was soon to be a Great Dane puppy arriving, and house hunting…and life. A novel was a commitment.
But TJ would not remain silent. And then Colby showed up. If I were to get any peace, the road ahead for them had to be written.
