After much hemming and hawing, I've decided to start this blog in the memory of a good friend, Lori. She's the one that got me into writing again for the first time since High School, many many moons ago. I'm not too sure what the final consistent format will be, so bear with me for the first few posts.
It started off as a group of women gathering at a Borders Books store in Columbus, Ohio (where I was working in the cafe) writing mystery stories. After several weeks, I asked them if they had killed anyone yet. They started asking my "male opinion" on certain situations. After a few weeks of loose discussions with them between my customers, they asked if I wanted to join their group. I happily accepted, and started working on a fantasy story that since given me so many ideas that I'm looking at a trilogy of novels at least. Lori was an excellent sounding board for my ideas, and inspired many more by being a patient teacher. The group will dearly miss her, but she will live on in our hearts. And our stories, as I'm already fleshing out a character based loosely on her.
