This Nobel Prize winner has written the book on dictator activities. In her Philippines, the dictator Duterte used cracking down on drugs as a way to gain power over the country. Donald Trump has praised world authoritarians, and he specifically mentioned Duterte. And Putin/Kim.

I'm "thinking" of doing an Urban Fantasy series starring my female supernatural crime photographer hero, Cleo Broussard, in my story "The Chalk Scribbler of Canal Street." She's a feisty little wench, just the way I like them! 😍🤣😎 Lots of plots are boiling in my provocative little brain as I speak!

Completed my Christmas ghost story, "Two Winters in Alexandria."

Logline: Midwinter Alexandria: wine-reliant Gnostic Basilides summons Jesus’s ghost at a secret vigil. Hounded by Christians, Jews, and the watch, he must reject a deadly sign and unite birth and baptism before zealots spill blood.

Crafting an anthropocentric piece for a story anthology that stars animals only. My concept is to have a noir mystery with a setting reminiscent of 1940s Los Angeles and specifically resembling that of the noir film I love, "Chinatown." Doing research now. It's a hoot.
