I came across a comment on Facebook the other day where a person was making note of how they did not like liars or individuals who make up fake stories (I’m paraphrasing here). Of course, it was the fake stories that toggled my teasing brain. So I had to respond with my brand of humor… Read More Professional Liars
I vacillated on what to write about today…going back and forth between podcasts and historical fiction. So in perfect Annette Mori fashion, like my romash novels, I’m combining the two and will do a quick blog on the history of podcasts. Full disclosure, don’t expect the exhaustive research that goes into historical fiction. Because let’s… Read More Podcasts
I’ve always loved the old Mission Impossible series. I used to watch that as a kid, and it must have made an indelible imprint on my brain. The premise of the series was to bring down corrupt politicians and dictators of third-world countries. The show was very much ahead of its time by featuring stories… Read More Suspension of Disbelief
For whatever reason, I have old songs running through my head lately…like the one from West Side Story. But old musicals aren’t the topic of my blog today. Instead, I wanted to talk about something that I read in a Facebook post. The other day I read a post that greatly saddened me. Apparently, an… Read More There’s a Place For Us…
I’m sure almost everyone has heard of phone sex and I suppose Skype or Facetime sex for a means of remaining connected when enduring a long-distance relationship. But a device that enables couples to experience “real” physical intimacy? Surely, I jest. I remember being totally besotted when iPhones came out with a way to send… Read More Long Distance Kissing
For years I’ve said I am not a country music fan, but lately, I’ve had to reframe my view of country music. I’ve been a rabid fan of Brandi Carlile who won her first Grammy in Americana which I believed was just another name for countryish music. It’s not. Although, there are definitely a few… Read More Country Music Fan
Most authors talk about hearing their characters’ voices in their heads. I’ve always wondered if that includes voice intonation or the unique voice patterns that everyone has? If they do, I wonder, am I deficient, because all I hear is dialogue. And it comes at the most inopportune time. Like in the middle of the… Read More Voice in My Head
Plot Holes…ugh! I admit I chase those little f%@kers around more than Bill Murray in Caddyshack with his illusive gophers. So what exactly is a plot hole? Well…according to Wikipedia, it is a “gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story’s plot.” Yup…that sounds about right. In most cases, these plot… Read More Plot Holes
For some, Fall is already here, for others, it may technically start on the equinox (September 22). However, everyone can tell that Fall is near when businesses start trotting out the pumpkin spice! And…along with the start of pumpkin spice season is all the hate around this fad that has been growing strong since the… Read More Pumpkin Spice
So…all over the news, states are lamenting the fact that they now have a serious teacher shortage. Why? Because the fringe right has been calling teachers “groomers”. Then there are the mean-spirited report of teachers offering kids banned books, supporting LGBTQ+ teens, or allegations that CRT is being taught in their classroom. They’ve declared war… Read More Be Careful What You Ask For…Part II
