GRR on your behalf.<br /><br />I've been reading lots of cozies lately and loving them I might add. It's been a rough summer and a rough year so I've liked visiting the lighter side and I find it has lightened my writing too. A good thing, I think. <br /><br />Paula has given me some new authors to add to my TBR and I'm looking forward to that.Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758348842858993203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-23052229088308112092018-10-16T09:42:22.800-04:002018-10-16T09:42:22.800-04:00Skunks and yard police, oh my!

I stood in the castle courtyard and checked off the physical details French used in her exterior descriptions.<br /><br />We were reported to the village building inspector this summer for having weeds in our flower beds. I used the yard police in an upcoming KRL Halloween story, and plan to extend their role in a future story.Margaret S.
