The Dark Children Are Waiting For You.......

Flowers should be sent to the living not the dead. People would enjoy them more that way. The blame game is an easy one to play. People spend time looking back at a past life suffering from “What-if-itis”.  Sometimes we laugh more at the funeral home sharing stories than we did during life. Why all this gloom and doom? Prior to my sister’s surgery we went over her Last Will …. Yikes…

 I gave up my life in Indianapolis to come and help in Florida.  I had a semi-cushy gig up there in Colts country.  Worked writing for different stuff, and as a makeup artist for Nordstrom. Given my background, it was relaxing and far different from my normal pressure cooker jobs. Peace had been mine for the last 4 years.  This was all after my airport breakdown where I cried like a baby (on blog) . There will be no return to Indy for me at this point. Game changed and the universe has left me in Florida for a while.Enjoying the sunshine and writing.

 My book is almost complete and only needs a little more work. Could it be I want perfection ?  Find it  Strange how this book started years ago and is based on an event in Pensacola . I am giving to much info here LOL. Writing a book on the subject of mental illness opens you up to all forms of criticism.. Yep, if people were not pointing fingers before, they will be now! The clock is ticking to the launch and am I prepared for the backlash? One must keep in mind the old country saying.” It does not matter what they say about you, make sure they spell your name right. If people stop talking, be concerned.” Amen on this one…..Still waiting for the gloom and doom part?

It will be on Kindle, Nook, Amazon, and many more sites. The words are waiting for the world to critique on so many levels.  Some people will compare it to a Steven King type story. The Dark Children have a mind of their own.  

This book made me think about my own mortality. We are all forced to do this at some point in time. I want to have a party for friends with stories and laughter. Pass the Crown Robyne Drink (yes you read this right) and enjoy Reggae music.  Don’t forget Funeral for a friend by Elton John and a little Steven Tyler. 

Want to be buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Terry Town New York, Cremate me first and come to the  home of the Headless Horseman. It is a one hour train ride along the river from NYC and a beautiful place . If I should have to come back haunting, this is a happening place.  Spend the midnight hour hanging out with Elizabeth Arden, ( Elizabeth Graham as she prefers.) The one and only  Mr. Rockefeller  and the queen of mean Leona Hemsley.

   I need 3 volunteers to review my book.  FIRST 3 ONLY on Facebook to comment and ask to review will get a chance!   I want to see who would read this far down on the blog. It is not Snow White so be prepared!...Next month it will be open to review.
