ReDo

Now that I am back in Houston to take care of some business I have decided to re-write the beginning of The Missing Texas Star. Maybe it is being in the big city that brings out the devious mind in me. I’m not sure what it is, but I have been enjoying coming up with dead bodies. As I walk Meatball and Candy little glimpses of murder fills my head. Maybe it's from those little green bags that I carry to pick up the steamy hot dog turds. Who knows maybe it's something in the Houston air. I guess it makes no difference as long as the story keeps going. I have new characters entering the story and have taken it in a whole new direction. I just need to keep on task so it can be released this year.

And so it goes

Since my school work is all done and submitted I have had no excuse. I closed my bedroom door then began working on book number 3. The Missing Texas Star will probably be the end of the hill country gang series. I can't make any promises on that though. I just sit down and write the story as it comes into my mind’s eye. I never know what direction it is headed. I had not even been at the keyboard for half an hour and a new character popped up. He seems like an okay fella' so he will play an important part of the story. Maybe instead of ending the series I will just do a whole series on the lead character Cindy. She does lead an interesting life.
Now back to the story...

Let Freedom Ring

I can't believe I did it. I gave Wally World one last chance then relieved them of their position in my life. Without an income I just couldn't let the Sarge be responsible for my bills. In a week moment I told Kikki of my dilemma and within seconds Josh called and said he and Elizabeth would be out on Sunday to pick me up.
I think the hardest part was leaving that little piece of heaven at the ranch and that wonderful man that had crawled into my heart and took control.
Needless to say we were both hurt but I needed to move back to Houston so that I could actually make decent money. As much as I love Burnet there are no good paying jobs there. I have had it with retail.
I just finished my last assignments for this session at CTU so I am hitting the pavement come Monday and getting a great position with some lucky company. I have Josh and Elizabeth to encourage me and Justin, Sheena, Kikki, Booger and James are in Spring just an hour away.
It is the weirdest thing living with your grown son, his better half and two Boston Terriers. This is also my first experience of living right in the middle of a big city. I am amazed at everything that is in walking distance. The Galleria area is bustling so I am overwhelmed by the traffic. The funny thing is my old Houstonian driving skills have kicked back in. I just need to learn the streets and highways once again.
It is amazing how much you forget in two years.
The hardest part is I miss that crazy fisherman and that tender smile.
