Cocktails at Sunset - a diagram

-
Since I spent hours creating a floor plan for the Sunset Elderly Living Facility in the next book, Cocktails at Sunset, I thought it might be fun to share it.

Then since I was sharing that, I decided to also include a few images I used when writing the scenes. You'll just have to read the book to find out where these are used.





Happy Trails,

Leslie

Book Review - The Valley (The Valley Trilogy #1) by Helen Bryan

This book moves away from my regular cozy mystery into historical women's fiction. It's the first book I've read by this author. The Valley is the first book in a trilogy set in colonial times Virginia. The setting grabbed my attention since that is the state I grew up in and love dearly. This review does have some spoilers and the book has a large cast so take notes. Sophia Grafton is a wealthy and spoiled child with homes in London and the countryside. She is raised by her adoring father who lavishes everything on her and allows her to run wild. As she reaches the marriageable age of sixteen it becomes apparent she needs a firmer hand. After no prospect is agreed upon by Sophia and her father, he moves her to their country home while he recovers from illness, in the hope that a local lad will catch her eye. Despite a marriage proposal Sophia remains single until her father's death. She soon finds she is penniless with no option but to travel to the new world and...

I Don't Believe in Happily Ever After, Part Six, by L. A. Keller

“I gave up on happily ever after. Maybe I'm not cut out for a relationship. Maybe, I just don't like being committed to one person for longer than two weeks.” ====================== Part Six Wyatt took his cue to leave, tossing Charlotte over his shoulder against her squeals of protest.             “I hope to see you before you leave,” he called out to Clare as the screen door slammed behind him.             Mae led Clare into the living room and pointed at the plaid reclining rocker indicating she should take a seat.   Mae walked to the mantle and picked up a black and white photo in a tarnished silver frame.             “Child, I’ve weathered many storms and so has this old place. I was born here, as were your momma and you. My great granddaddy plowed this farm behind two mules and his daddy befo...

Book Review - The Guilty Wife by Elle Croft by L. A. Keller

This book caught my eye because I was looking for a good mystery thriller and the title on Amazon displays as "The Guilty Wife: A thrilling psychological suspense with twists and turns that grip you to the very last page." Very clever marketing and the book itself was good.  It did have some twists but the end was predictable. I didn't like that it started with a prologue. It's a cheater's way of grabbing your attention by throwing out some juicy details. In this case, the few paragraphs of prologue put the reader in media res also known as the middle of the story. Facts that the protagonist would not have known at the beginning. Bethany is a photographer having an affair with a very wealthy client. Calum. She claims to love her husband, Jason but she also loves Calum.  She states, "I was in love with my husband. Always had been, really." I'm not a believer that you can be in love with two people - maybe in lust with one and in love with the othe...
