The Grave with Greener Grass

THE GRAVE WITH GREENER GRASS
Sly Harrell โ€œFinderโ€ Series

History buries secrets deepโ€”and Sly Harrell is about to dig up more than he bargained for.

Set in modern-day Florida, this gripping historical mystery draws on the colorful legacy of the stateโ€™s cattle barons of the late 1800s. When Sly Harrellโ€”a sharp witted, redneck style Sherlock Holmes and expert in locating lost thingsโ€”is offered a cryptic death bed letter and a shot at a hidden treasure he canโ€™t resist.

To uncover millions in buried gold coins, Sly must crack the code of an ancient family riddle and decipher a long forgotten gardening trick known only to a frontier matriarch. But solving the mystery may be the least of his problems. With deceit, danger, and unexpected romance swirling around him, Sly has to outsmart more than just the past to make it out alive.

Can he unearth the truth before the grave claims one more secret?

Wishing a very Merry Christmas

To Allโ€ฆ

The holidays are here! I hope you share the joy of the season with me. I know, I know, itโ€™s difficult.

The cesspool to which politics has devolved certainly impedes keeping good cheer and love for our fellow humans at the top of our thought process. Putting the international pot aside, itโ€™s boiling, our politicians would do wellย to do nothingย until after the first of the year. Let the season heal some of the potentially mortal wounds weโ€™ve inflicted on ourselves the last couple of years. Letโ€™s greet and treat each other as welcome equals. Letโ€™s hold the disparaging words inside.

For those whose primary desire is to destroy, steal, and hurtโ€ฆtake a vacation. Iโ€™ll do my best to understand actions that are, by my standards, incomprehensible, for a Christmas period of truce. Wonโ€™t you join me?

May your turkey be fat and juicy, your cocktails scrumptious, your hangovers minimal, your relatives agreeable, your gifts returnable, and your choice in reading impeccable.ย  ANDโ€ฆMay I wish all of you a Merry Christmas!

Independence Day

The glorious Fourth is here. This year there’s a good bit of tarnish on the Liberty Bell. There’s a lot of elements adding to it’s condition. Pandemics, ideology run amuck, foreign enemies, an agenda driven education system, and the two worst…immoral, dishonest, corrupt media and government officials (elected and appointed). They have all taken their shots. Let’s hope the country is strong enough to weather this year of suffering and trial.

One thing that’s apparent to me, our two party system has failed us miserably the last four years. All of the two parties efforts have been to divide us into ‘voting blocks’.  Only a fraction of what should have been done for the people that put them in office was accomplished by those elected. I’m tired of voting for least worst choices.

Burning ourselves into oblivion isn’t the answer any more than pretending that portions of our populace continue to be the step children in our country. I tired of being a color coded society. We shouldn’t see each other that way. THE CONTINUED EMPHASIS ON DEMANDING WE PUT OURSELVES IN COLOR BOXES PERPETUATES THE PROBLEM, IT DOES NOT SOLVE IT. We’ve done it for centuries…has it worked? Come on American, wake up before it’s too late. Yes, those are grins you see on the Russian and Chinese faces.
