It’s the 1950s in Seattle and socialite Sallee Anderson is at the height of her

popularity, but her beauty, intelligence, and savviness won’t stop her from being

implicated in the cold murder of her husband, who was found dead in his office

with a single bullet to the head. What’s more, Sallee’s pistol is missing. Lawyer

Ryan is now hot on the case trying to unravel the mystery, but will he make it in

time to save Sallee from jail and disgrace?

Disgrace is not all that threatens Sallee’s happiness. With suspicious family and

friends surrounding her, Sallee doesn’t know who to trust, especially not with this

kind of secret.

What is Sallee’s secret? Read Satin Murder and find out!

GLORIOUS MOUNTAINS

We packed up BJ, our RV, placed the newly charged batteries into their compartments and headed off for Soap Stone Basin for the weekend.
After finding the camp spot by the stream that we love I scouted for my dandelions. I was so disappointed to only find two that had gone to seed.

But the joy of all the sunflowers at sunset whisked away my sorrow.

We ate our grilled burger and sat in the twilight beside a reverent fire. This Haiku came crawling into my mind:
Brook babbles behind
us, while quiet Douglas Fir fire
lights dark moonless night.
Batteries working, we turned out the lights for the night.
Excitement of the morning having battery to pump coffee/mocha water was drenched. No power.
Another trip with jumper cables, something is terribly amiss. My Joe has done everything possible
even bought a new charger, still . . .
I put our drinks in the brook, made our famous tuna sandwiches and silverhelmets headed for the trails.

Dandelions, finally, oh glorious day . . . All is right with the world.

Joe offered OFF spray to a young father and his twin boys who arrived at our lunch spot, Iron Mine Lake, to fish. A peaceful day in the woods.

Silver Helmets Begin 2014 in the Uinta Forest

We began our journey to the mountains by traveling over Daniel's Summit towards Coop Creek turn off toward a favorite camping spot in the Currant Creek area only to find the gate locked until June 30th. So we took the scenic route (one of seemingly favorite things we do). After a very dusty ride we arrived to find OUR camp spot taken; every corner had a tent in it (so nice to see tents instead of trailers and noisy generators). Down the road we continue and find, as usual the perfect spot for us with LOTS OF DANDELIONS.

Dandelion Girl is in her realm again. Joe unloaded Ruffus and out came the silver helmets.

Where, but our glorious mountains can you find such peaceful beauty . . .

or see such wonder . . .

We ate our traditional burgers but without fries on Friday evening after setting up camp, rode over 30 mountain miles on Saturday. It was chilly with wind all day; turned on Ruffus's hand warmers, such comfort.
Gathered wild flowers for our coke-vase inside home sweet home, BJ. Then after a steak, grilled potato and tossed salad dinner we sat by the fire and listed to the silence.

Of course I had to read some short stories from my publisher,Safkhet's latest anthology, ROMANTIC HEROS (one of which is mine, so blessed). Technology is WONDERFUL.
C/Ya, Bye for now  . . .

Family Time

There is nothing better than Joe's family from Logan, Utah down for flank steak lunch and better than sex cake on the patio. How about this 'selfie'?? !!
