First review for Shadow Faces


I just received a review for Shadow Faces. It came from Kirkus Discoveries ...

"A paranormal killer, Lazarus Douleur, leaves a swath of death across Northern Virginia’s corporate beltway. Matt Curtis, an executive at a high-powered consulting firm, is struggling to keep his head above water when, one by one, the women he has dated in the past are brutally killed. As the murders pile up, Detective Brooks Barrington feels powerless to stop Lazarus, but knows no one in the police department will believe him if he seeks help. An intriguing projection of how our phobias can undo each of us."

Our new addition


Well, we finally did it. We got at new puppy - a seven week old golden retriever named Gracie. The breeder is Church Mountain Kennels in Broadway, Virginia, which is owned and operated by Camie Shifflett. I was extremely impressed with Camie. Her dogs are very high quality retrievers with great dispositions and Camie's documentation of bloodlines and vet checkups is meticulous.

After just a day in her new home, Gracie runs the place. We can almost see her growing. Oh boy. Gotta go take her outside. See ya.
