Bailey's place in Laguna Beach by L. A. Keller

-
Wherever I go, whatever I'm doing I am always taking pictures. Not only do I love looking back fondly on places I've been and people I've experienced them with but I'm always working.  An image may catch my eye for a particular purpose or it may just be something I like.

In the case of this photo I snapped it because I thought it looked like a fun place to stay. When I reviewed the photos this grabbed me as a place Bailey would stay. I always see her as a modern day hippy chick. She loves tie-dye clothes, long flowing skirts, mother nature and just might participate in a demonstration, if the cause is right for her.

I'm sharing it with you because it's possible this will show up in a future book.



Happy Trails,

Leslie

Does the Wine Glass Matter by L. A. Keller

-

As part of my restaurant series, this post is about the vessel you use to consume your juice - the fermented grape juice variety. Personally, I love a beautiful glass from which to drink wine. The more shapely and delicate the more I enjoy the wine - not because it always makes the wine dramatically  better but it adds to the pleasure of the act.  I also tend to break them routinely so I go through lots of different glassware. The first question you may ask is whether to have stemware or stemless (also known as a tumbler).  There was a trend a few years ago to move away from glasses with stems.  I agree that the stemless version is sturdier all around. You are less likely to knock the glass over and unable to snap off the stem when washing. These are easy to load in the dishwasher, but not always advisable for any wine glass depending on the quality of the glass. However, the biggest issue with stemless glasses is that you are holding the glass, and thus the wine, in your hand.

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

-
I've been so busy writing Reunion in the Desert and trying to finish the third book in the Jayne Stanford series that I left this short story hanging. I'm including part Nine with the new installment as a brief review.  You can read the entire series in my blog posts or email me for one complete copy.  Part 9 “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.” Clare kicked off her running shoes at the back door of her grandmother, Mae’s house. She winced when she thought about how much she spent on them but the fabric absorbed manure like a sponge and there was no way they would ever come clean. She figured she may as well throw them out, along with all her plans for this weekend. Hours of chores around the farm had worn her down more than all day client meetings. Mae hummed a tune as she prepared their lunch. Clare knew she had been guilt tripped in

What's on the Page by L. A. Keller

Here's this month's What's on the Page segment to keep you in the loop about all the happenings. September closed out with the Desert Sleuths Chapter of Sisters in Crime with their Write Now conference.  The day was packed with amazing speakers and the ultimate surprise that I won first place in the Best First Line contest.  Honestly, I forgot I had even submitted the first sentence of No Reservations (third book in the series).  It's the first time I have ever submitted my work in a contest and definitely won't be the last. Also released to coincide with the conference was the compilation Recipes to Kill For in which I have two recipes and writing tips.  I am thrilled with the cover art and I'm sampling all of the other recipes.  I only have a limited number of copies for sale and only in paperback. I hope to have some left for my next book event. My books were accepted by the Phoenix Library and I was invited to participate in the Local Author Fair in ea
