NOT YOUR USUAL SUSPECTS

A group blog featuring an international array of killer mystery, suspense, and romantic suspense writers. With premises and story lines different from your run-of-the-mill whodunits, we tend to write outside the box. We blog several times a week on all topics relating to romantic suspense and mystery, our writing, and our readers. We welcome all comments and often have guest bloggers. All our authors can be contacted separately, too, using their own social media links.

We find our genre delightfully, dangerously, and deliciously exciting - join us here, if you do too!

NOTE: the blog is currently dormant but please enjoy the posts we're keeping online.

Worth a thousand words?

You know what they say? Pictures=1k words. (hmm, that's half way to the daily total.)

I've been a lame blogger lately. Working several jobs at once, and a trip out of the country to my opposite time zone, followed by a wicked case of p-new-moan-ya, (emphasis on the moan, thank you very much) has kept me away from the keyboard.

I think I told you all, I sometimes drive my family crazy taking pictures? Trying to get just the right angle. Not only the colors, the shapes...but the feeling of what I'm seeing.

(I have 12 versions of this flower-filled, offering bowl. And those are the ones I kept.)

It's strange. I've noticed that when I can't get to the keyboard often enough, my pictures become much more elaborate. Almost like little stories.

Poignant.

Kooky.



Romantic.
And hopeful.

It's been a long, weird month (or two.) But the stories are there....

No matter how far I go, I can't stay away.

Fabulous pictures, J.! I love the stories they hold. (And I'm so sorry about the pneumonia - hope you're better now!)

I just bought a new camera and I'm set to take 5 billion photos this Christmas. I love your pictures, Jules :)

Thanks you guys!
I'm getting better every day, but slowly. The other evening my daughter turned to me and said in flat, scary voice: "I can't take it. Stop coughing. Stop coughing right now."
I snapped my mouth shut, then we both started laughing!
Yeah. I'm driving everyone crazy. Myself included.

Lovely photos! Now, go write the stories behind them...

Hope your feeling much better--if so the laughter did it. Fascinating photos--bet we each see different things in them.
