Wow...what a great show. I got some really good advice about my blurb. A fix is in the works. I'm kinda attached to my simple blue title, tho

Thank you, Barbara for making my prose shine

Congrats to Kim P. for Lady Hangman. I will so read that when it comes out

@rjeffrey, @Andy D, and @AgentPete...

I'm glad you enjoyed my entry. Thanks so much for the feedback and encouragement. Time to chain myself to a desk and finish writing this.

BTW...the mystery of "M" is quite simple.

I'm blue

Good luck spooky Blue

Thanks, Andy Breaking a bottle of champagne off a ship is a fab idea. However, all I have here is an empty wine bottle (and a bit of a headache)

You know what was really spooky? It's my workplace social-media account. I never use it. However, all company employees are signed up to Yammer by default. Here's the spooky part...I got an e-mail from Yammer this morning with a link about the MayDay Kraków marathon. I think my work laptop overheard Pete read off my bio (the trailrunning part) and fed me "relevant" content. Is an AI spying on me

Holy hell...Cox 2.0 was hilarious! Hehee...I can't say that with a straight face Anyhoo, it looks like I killed off the wrong AI in Chapter one
