Her Final Breath by Robert Dugoni
I’m glad I bought the second book in the Tracy Crosswhite series. The first one was a good thriller, but it also had some disappointing moments. The second one is great. I couldn’t figure out who the killer was. It fooled me well. To some extent, the first two books are connected, as the murder … Continue reading Her Final Breath by Robert Dugoni

Which author I’d like to meet
There’s a saying that you should never meet your heroes and after meeting some of mine, I stand by it.

Here’s a photo of two nearly identical 3-4-5 month old kitten at the same spot. Their … Continue reading Bush Family, Part Three
Update on the Bush Family
A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of two orange cats hiding in the bushes. I walked past the same area today and spotted three orange kittens playing together. I think this is an uncommon case of a male and female orange cat producing a fully orange litter. I couldn’t get closer because they … Continue reading Update on the Bush Family
