BEING SCARED IN THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME

I, for one, would never want to pack heat, walk the street,
and find myself face to face with a mugger just salivating
over the last two bucks in my wallet.
(and believe me, that's on a good day right after getting paid)
I would, however, love the opportunity of facing the same
criminal element if I were the character,
Super Chick!
She's not afraid to face the bad guys.
She seeks them out, corners them, dares them
to cross her path. And when she's done,
she dashes home, puts on a spot of makeup,
(she's ravishing by the way)
and is ready to be Super Cool, soccer mom
of three--a talented cook and bottle washer.
She's triumphed over evil in the world one more time.
No one's the wiser.
Is she afraid?
Never!
Well, there was that one time
when the baby had projectile vomiting.
Really scary stuff!!!
At its best, this is suspense in the safety of your home:
crashing down doors of hardened criminals,
walking in dark alleys, alone, with hundred-dollar bills
hanging out of your pockets, maybe ripping a child from
the grasp of a would-be kidnapper disguised as a clown.
(did I mention God blessed me with a quirky imagination?)
All on the pages of a book.
Just waiting for you to plunk down your money,
rush home, and wait to see where the suspense will take you.
Join me each week for a walk through
Suspense Tweaked with a Kiss!
Interviews, q and a's, and tips for
the romantic suspense writer's soul.

  4. Cyberspace hmmm? I feel like I should have triangular shoulders made of sparkling silver and blue material. Cy-ber-mur-der-space. Hmm...
    He saw her exit the building. He lifted the ray gun and aimed it directly under her left shoulder. She turned and saw the weapon. She gasped just as the retort . . . maybe another time...

  12. Thanks everybody. You're more than welcome. Now, can somebody tell me how to unsubscribe to my own blog. While following one of y'all, I apparently followed my own. A bit narcissistic, wouldn't you say????

    ReplyDelete
  13. Wow! I can actually do more than turn this computer off and on. I actually unsubscribed to myself. What a feat! Gold star on my calendar for the day.

  14. Linda how exciting is this! You're over 10 followers with only one post :) I think we need to celebrate - you pick & I'll make. Decadent chocolate cake, chocolate croissant (ok, I'll buy those), vanilla bean biscotti or we can open a box of chocolates ... but don't take too long, I'm starting to get the jitters ... I need some chocolate :)

  15. I'm with Steena, chocolate is most definitely needed.
    Maybe some Godiva truffles? Some cheesecake?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Steena, you just said the magic word. Chocolate! Do you know how hard that is to stick to when you're not eating carbs? But I have found ways. Yes indeed. And Jess, chocolate and cheesecake should always be in the same breath. How about the decadent chocolate dessert in Denver? Okay, thanks guys, now I've gained 5# just talking about it.
