Taking A Five Year Old To Lowes

I took Kara with me to go to the local home improvement store, Lowes this time, and she had energy. A lot of energy.

As we walked around, she ran back and forth, like on an invisible leash, never getting more than about 30 feet away, but certainly with her own ideas of what she wanted to do.

So here is a sampling of some of the moments.

In the electrical aisle, she stopped by the conduit and grabbed a fitting that she began to pretend was a gun. "Pew, pew, pew" and all. Another one was a cannon.

She went for the clearance priced disco ball like a mosquito to a back porch light.

She wanted to sword fight... with long florescent tubes.

She found that some people had put PVC fittings back in the wrong boxes. She spent 10 minutes or so trying to sort them back to where the needed to go. If left unchecked, we would be there until closing while she sorted.

She opened the display doors by the door section.

She sat on a display commode to "see how good it felt".

She picked up a variety of hand tools and proceeded to tell me what she was going to do with them. No, Kara, you can't paint with a concrete chisel.

She danced in the hardware aisle, she was singing by the power tools.

And all this took place in the span of 25 minutes.

The Trillborne Wife is now available on Amazon


My first ever book, The Trillborne Wife, is now available in the Amazon store in both e-book and paperback. I encourage all of you to take a peek and look at the Amazon preview.

This is exciting for me because this is my first completed book and the first one I have ever published.

Amira was content to raise her daughters alone and secluded from the rest of the world, teaching them the ways of the trillborne, natural shape shifters. She had everything she needed, or so she thought.

Her life was thrown a curve when she met Kiv, a mage in exile and hunted by the crown. Their life together was blessed and peaceful until Kiv's violent past caught up with them. Amira was about to come face to face with the greatest challenge of her life. It would test her strength, her abilities, and her convictions.

Her story is a spirited look at life and death through the pain of love with more than a touch of sarcasm.
