Re-read Becalmed by Kristine Katherine Rusch. Very disturbing story. Also re-read His Mysterious Lady by G.G. Vandagriff. Needed something light and pleasant and her Regency Romances usually are.

I’m revamping some or all of my book blurbs. Below is my first.

It doesn’t matter what you are or who you are. It doesn’t matter what you think or what your intentions are.

It only matters what you do.

Oh, really?

So, you’d let Attila the Hun pet sit your precious Fluffy the kitten just because he wasn’t known for abusing cats? Or hire Jack the Ripper to mow your lawn?

The middle aged owner and editor of the weekly newspaper called The Watermelon Pump has lived most of her working life believing that doing counts more than being, but having a sociopathic teenage boy on her staff as a small town newspaper reporter was making her rethink that stance.

At least he was only writing the engagement announcements and wedding stories. Couldn’t get in much trouble there. Right?

Luling, Texas is a small town known primarily for its watermelons (and one great barbecue joint.) Plus, a river runs through it. The only paper in town is run by local teenagers looking for an easy credit in journalism they can apply to college later. And one curmudgeonly middle aged woman who keeps a pet chicken in her office.

And maybe a budding serial killer.

Sometime sweet, maybe more bittersweet than not. Funny. And short. Easy to read, and short.
