104 YEARS OLD. She’s over a century.

I don’t normally do five essays in a month. I also don’t dedicate any of them to somebody, either. This month, I decided to change what I normally do and make an exception. I wrote this four years ago to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Now I’m sending it I out again because my mother went home four days ago at the age of 104 and I wanted to celebrate her life. She didn’t do Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook Instagram or Snapchat so she’d never read this tribute. I thought I should do something special online for her, sort of a permanent digital record that she existed on this earth for the last 104 years. I read somewhere that the number of folks over 100 isn’t so rare nowadays and the number of centenarians is increasing. Try as I might, I can’t imagine what she’s seen during her lifetime. I know she missed WWI but lived through the depression. She spoke about how she and my aunt sold bread and cookies from a wagon. My stepfather lost a janitor job during the depression but tried to make up for it by setting a home bakery because he loved to bake. My mother […]

WHY I WROTE: ChapBook2: Lauren’s Quartet of Love, Althea

by B.L. in Other 0 comments
lost her pride, her gun, her badge and the 17-year job she loves so much. She’s spent the past 12 months under house arrest at Althea’s place. She’s been sentenced to perform community service and attended anger management classes. She’s paid Jack Donaldson medical bills. On the bright side she’s developed somewhat of a romantic relationship with Althea; deep affection for her dog Eddie and the old man Lucas Daily, her next-door neighbor. When Lauren hears Taylor Cobb ran way, she decides she must find her. Reggie joins her. Their search for Taylor begins in upstate New York in her hometown of Lorraine. The search takes them along the I-95 corridor of New York and New Jersey, heading southwest and ends in New Mexico. Along the way, the officers undergo as many changes as the victims. By the time I finished writing this story, I had written four serials. I named the chapbooks after a main characters in each story. The result is Chapbook2: Lauren’s Quartet of Love, Althea. I do hope you like the results. Lauren’s Quartet of Love: ChapBook2, Althea is available for pre-order 3/16/22 on Kindle and Smashwords. The release date is 4/02/22. Thanks for reading, BL […]

WHY I WROTE: Chapbook1: Lauren’s Quartet of Love; Sunny

by B.L. in Other 0 comments
In 2006, I decided to write this book about a woman, a police officer who has a case that haunts her. She’s trying to find a missing teenager. At the time I started writing the story, I hadn’t envisioned a serial set of novels. I thought my story would be about a NYPD lieutenant and her partner searching the countryside in the hope of finding a female runaway intact and unhurt. Back then, I’d heard a little about human trafficking rings and child pornography. There had been enough cases in the news that I knew what child pornography looked like. While I’d heard of drug trafficking, I didn’t know much about human trafficking rings. I decided to do some research on human trafficking rings before I wrote more than the thirteen pages, I’d already written. During my research, I was surprised to learn human trafficking is a world-wide phenomenon. Trafficking is not limited to young children either. Human beings with money (owners) are willing to buy other less fortunate human beings to do servant like-work, construction work, sexual work, nursing-like work, all for free once the deal has been struck. Sometimes, the bought person takes an active role in the […]

WHY I WROTE: SANTA BABY, Two studs & baby makes three

by B.L. in Other 0 comments
I’ve always liked the movie Three Men & A Baby. The premise of the movie is this. Three handsome single womanizing men who are confirmed bachelors find a baby girl left on their doorstep. The men are thrown into a tizzy. They don’t know which one of them is father or if one of them is the father. They don’t know how to change a diaper let alone how feed and care for a baby girl who can’t walk or talk yet. Each man learns what the baby girl’s cries mean. They must learn how to change diapers. How to feed her. How to bath her. How to buy and dress her in baby clothes. And how to entertain the baby girl and stop her cries. By the time the mother returns to claim the child, all three men don’t want the little girl to leave. They have fallen in love with the little girl. They want to raise her as their own child. Once the one of the men admits he’s the father, the remaining two men convince the mother to move in with them so they can raise the child together. I always thought the story idea would […]

104 YEARS OLD. She’s over a century.

I don’t normally do five essays in a month. I also don’t dedicate any of them to somebody, either. This month, I decided to change what I normally do and make an exception. I wrote this four years ago to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Now I’m sending it I out again because my mother went home four days ago at the age of 104 and I wanted to celebrate her life. She didn’t do Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook Instagram or Snapchat so she’d never read this tribute. I thought I should do something special online for her, sort of a permanent digital record that she existed on this earth for the last 104 years. I read somewhere that the number of folks over 100 isn’t so rare nowadays and the number of centenarians is increasing. Try as I might, I can’t imagine what she’s seen during her lifetime. I know she missed WWI but lived through the depression. She spoke about how she and my aunt sold bread and cookies from a wagon. My stepfather lost a janitor job during the depression but tried to make up for it by setting a home bakery because he loved to bake. My mother […]

LOVER’S DAY RANT

by B.L. in Other 0 comments
Contacting Sam, our marriage counselor, was something I felt I had to do. I figured I should speak with him because I needed to know if Gilbert directly or indirectly mentioned his assault plans during any of his one-on-sessions with Sam. Gil had stopped attending our joint and his individual sessions with Sam, two weeks before the assault. I figured Sam owed me the truth because I was still his patient, while Gil wasn’t so I called him. He claimed that he couldn’t betray Gil’s confidence to confirm or deny my suspicions. I stopped attending his sessions after that phone call. I missed Gil at night when I was feeling particularly lonesome and didn’t have a warm body to snuggle against. I shared a ten-year history with the man but it was certainly over now. Gilbert saw to that the minute he let his fists do the talking for his heart. I’d like to tell you that I’ve found the most wonderful person in the world and that we’re happy, as hell living together but I can’t. I had a series of bad relationships after Gilbert. Although none were violent, I wouldn’t stand for that but none of them lasted […]
