Good morning, friends!
Can you believe that tomorrow is October 1st! We are thirty-one days from the beginning of #NanoWrimo2021.
I've been scouring YouTube for videos I hope will inspire you to make the most of #Preptober and be ready for NanoWrimo this year. We'll talk more about National Novel Writing Month next week. For now, here's Danyal Fryer with his Top 10 tips from last year's video:
Good morning, everyone!
I look forward to The Writer's Nest posts. These Friday entries give me the opportunity to be inspired by where other authors create the stories we love to read.
Like previous posts from Daisy Knox, we get a look at her unique writing space and learn a bit more about her.
Describe your writing nest?
This may sound odd, but my nest is portable, it’s really just my tools. I have
a couple of favorite bags that fit my laptop, throw in some notebooks and pens,
then I’m all set. I write anywhere and everywhere that I can so that may be on
my couch, at my desk at day job, in the passenger seat on road trips, anywhere
I go. Much of the time that’s in my backyard in a comfy chair or hammock next
to the creek but when I’m lucky, it’ll be at the beach or somewhere fun far
from home.
I have a short attention span so I need quiet and no distractions to concentrate. That’s not easy to achieve with a family and job and other responsibilities, so I decided to go portable. I love to be outside so setting up a little workspace in the yard is a must, too.
Has finding your space been an evolving journey? How so?
It was. I’d make a space somewhere but then there would always be distractions so I need to be able to adapt. And by adapt, I mean move, whenever possible.
Anything you would change?
Not at all. I love having a dedicated office space but at the same time, that’s not always where I’m productive so my go-bag is everything.
Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Find ideas out in the world but don’t
be afraid to try something different to see what works for you. You might be
surprised where you end up.

Good morning, everyone!
I'm way behind on posting. Between Bob being home, company his first few days then being 'off my feed' the last few days he was home... I just haven't done much. In fact, yesterday was the first day in months I actually dressed in 'office' clothes and focused on work.
So today...
Today, I'm shining the spotlight on a new Boroughs author - Daisy Knox. She has come out of the chute with a bang, but we'll get to her book in a moment.
Here's a bit about Daisy Knox:
Reading is a lifelong passion and mysteries have always been the holy grail. It began with Trixie Belden and the Hardy Boys, graduating to JD Robb and Greg Iles. From the whimsical antics of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum to the grit and shock of Dennis Lebane’s Kenie & Gennaro series, I love them all, and everything in between.
Daisy’s addicted to music and all her books have soundtracks because everything in her head happens to music. Her first novel, Go For Broke, is coming September 2021 from Boroughs Publishing. She’s also addicted to podcasts and hopes to one day write the scene where Cady is interviewed by Nick and the Captain because True Crime Garage is her favorite.
She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, son and the world’s derpiest but most lovable dog and is counting the days until the world meets Cady and her friends.
Well, the day is here. Go For Broke released on September 9th with 3.5 stars (Only 11 reviews so far). Daisy shouldn't worry about that number. As more people read/ review Go For Broke, those stars will light up!
(ONLY 11 REVIEWS SO FAR). Daisy shouldn't worry about that number. As more people read/ review Go For Broke, those stars will light up!
GO FOR BROKE is a romantic suspense sure to please the reader. I can't offer a review. For some reason Kindle and I are arguing at the moment. But you can be sure when the kink is worked out, I'll be curling up with this one.
Here's the blurb:
Cady Blackwell is a victim of her own bad judgment: dating the biggest losers, attracting a stalker, and unknowingly accepting a job that's gotta be illegal.
She can’t quit until she finds a way to protect herself from being framed for her bosses' crimes, plus she wants to stay alive and out of prison.
But nothing’s easy when she’s distracted by a charming financier and a f-boy detective. She's in way over her head, and she's fighting for her life.
Her only chance for survival is to put her faith in the instincts she stopped trusting long ago.
It’s time to go for broke, which will either save her or cost her everything.

Good morning, friends.
Today, I'm wrapping up the series about the research I've done in able to get details correct in An Ozarks Homecoming.
Todd Heisler won a Pulitzer Prize for this documentary about the Marine Honor Guard and Major Steve Beck
This is - The Final Salute
Good morning, everyone!
While An Ozarks Homecoming focuses on an Army Korean War Veteran's remains, I couldn't find a lot on how the Army does things. On the other hand, the Marines are happy to inform us of their military procedure.
The Marine Corps Body Bearers have a specific training in able to carry out this somber duty.
