It’s day number two! Today’s letter is B. Feel free to join in by posting a title in the comments section! (note: if the title begins with the, use the first letter of the next word!)
The Birds and Other Stories by Daphne du Maurier
One of my favorite movies is Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. I recently discovered the library I work in had a copy of a small collection of short stories by Daphne du Maurier. Her short story, “The Birds”, was the inspiration for the Hitchcock film.
It’s a new month, and I wanted to try a fun idea. Every day, I’m going to post the title of a book I have read, or am currently reading. The catch is, I’m going to work my way through the alphabet. Since this is the first day, today’s letter is A. Feel free to join in by posting a title in the comments section! (note: if the title begins with the, use the first letter of the next word!)
Acid For The Children by Flea
This is a memoir written by Flea (Michael Peter Balzary), the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
See you tomorrow!

I’ve been working on a few different ideas for stories for my male readers, to give them a break from my female-centric writing. My strongest idea involves one of my characters from the Our Lady of Righteous Rage series: Aidan. Much like Erin, Dee and Jon, Aidan is getting a solo book. The working title is I Probably Should Have Kept That To Myself Here’s a sample from the first chapter. I hope to have the book ready for publication by the end of May. Enjoy!
Chapter One
There’s a tiny bag of weed in the back of one of my dresser drawers, and nobody knows this but me. I shouldn’t be thinking about it right now, but I am. I’m thinking about opening that drawer, grabbing that little bag and hiding it in my suitcase. Nah—it would be my luck to have some drug-sniffing dog at the airport rat me out. Besides, I promised my wife I’d quit smoking.
But that was before I agreed to go with my brothers to Las Vegas. It’s only for the weekend, still, I’m rethinking it now. Rethinking and rethinking…
“You have your ticket, right?”
Dee was talking to me from the bathroom. She had just changed the bath towels: fresh dark gray ones to match our black and white color scheme.
“Yep,” I replied. “It’s with my suitcase.” I looked over at the drawer where I keep the weed, one last time. Nope. I’ll leave it here. Better safe than sorry.
Dee emerged from the bathroom. She was wearing a pair of camouflage yoga pants and a black tank top. I’m only going to be away from her for the weekend and I already miss her. Is that stupid? I mean, I haven’t even left the damn house yet. “What are you going to do all weekend with me out of the house?”
Dee shrugged, casually. “I’ll probably go harass Amy. Or I might kick around Urban Collective for a few hours. You’re not worried about me, are you?”
“No, it’s not you I’m worried about,” I said.
“Are you planning on getting into a fight with your brothers?” Dee asked. She walked up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist. I took one of her hands in mine. Her brown complexion is a stark contrast to mine: I’m whiter than a ghost. Some days I feel like I’m haunting my own house.
“I never plan it,” I said. “But sometimes it just happens.”
“Promise me you’ll try to get along with them.”
“I promise, Frisky. Scout’s honor.”
“You were never a boy scout.”
I smiled. I never would have lasted as a boy scout.
I Probably Should Have Kept That To Myself is coming soon!

I’m fortunate to still have a job..for now. So, I’m very grateful for that. I have learned a few interesting things while remaining at work during this tragedy, and I’d like to share. I work in a public library. Right now, we’re sanitizing EVERYTHING. The books, CD and DVD cases, shelves, computers, tables, chairs—everything. I’m in charge of sanitizing the fiction books, and let me tell you, there are A LOT OF THEM. But, this humble little activity has helped me discover a few things.
1. Many of the movies I love were based on books. Just Cause, starring Sean Connery and Blair Underwood was based on a book by the same name. Plus, I came across Forest Gump and Rosemary’s Baby. Both books have sequels, to my surprise.
2. I had no idea Amish Fiction was a genre. I have cleaned a ton of Beverly Lewis’s books.
3. James Patterson basically needs his own private bookshelf in the library. His place in fiction takes up five shelves.
4. Actors Hugh Laurie and Ethan Hawke have published fiction. Laurie’s book is The Gun Seller, released in 1996, while Hawke’s book is Ash Wednesday, 2002.
5. Those 1980’s/1990’s Avon romance novels all seem to have similar, awful plots.
6. Incest is the name of the game in most of V.C. Andrews’ books.
7. David Lagercrantz continued Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, etc). Because of their last names, their books aren’t too far away from one another on the shelves.
8. After Ian Fleming’s death, 6 other authors inherited James Bond as a character.
9. Spic and Span is good at cleaning the plastic that was used to preserve the covers of the books.
10. My “want to read” list may be getting out of control.
I’m sure there will be more in the days to come.
