Months ago when I started reworking my cozy mystery, I was asked by an agent if it became a Hallmark Mystery, how do you picture the theme song. I was intrigued. What it would sound like? While I don't like using AI, I had to hear it for myself. Here's what came out. youtu.be/vzxMXklwcN8

I've been away from posting for a while. I've been busy working line edits from the publisher for the new book, "The Sky is Not the Limit: The Unsung Women of the Space Race." The publisher suggested a name change from "Beyond the Launchpad." I'm good with that. Due for release June 2027.

Speaking of cozy mysteries, after working on my latest non-fiction history with the publisher, I'm getting back to editing my mystery. I've made the monumental decision to rename the manuscript. "Dead Air" is now "Murder on the Airwaves." I feel like I'm back at home. I missed these guys. 🙂

Yes, I had this as a kid in the 60s. No, it didn't help by radio career. LOL! It came with a script, music, and jingles to practice with and interview clips with a star. Mine had Frankie Vali.Oh, the naivety of an eight-year-old boy dreaming of making it big in radio and earning big bucks.

Long writing night. Finally crashed at 3 a.m. when the second to last chapter of "Beyond the Launchpad: the Unsung Women of the Space Race" became: "The rocket shloopers bleeped out the hula-hoop data. Zzzzzzzz." Can't wait to read that back this morning after a pot of tea-or two-and 10 aspirin.

Better one or better two? Mock ups of the new book cover from the publisher. I like the first image the best, but I like the rocket in the second. Hopefully they will combine the two for me. And who knows, they may have another idea before it's ready to go to the publisher.

My new book, "Alabama Curiosities," has arrived, a collection of the weirdest, wackiest, most outrageous characters and events in the state (and brother, do we have a lot of them), and takes you places you never could have imagined—some of them right around the corner.

RIP Claudette Colvin. In 1955, several months before Rosa Parks would spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott 15y.o. Claudette did the same, refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger. She was arrested on the same charges as Parks but her story barely made the news. www.cnn.com/2026/01/13/u...

Paddington Bear writer Michael Bond was born today in 1926. Paddington offered the world a wealth of wisdom, like "If we're kind and polite, the world will be right," and "I'll never be like other people, but that's alright because I'm a bear." Bond passed away in 2017.
