Former criminal Abby Lunay was hired to find a missing person, but there’s a dead detective, a haunted courtyard, and a particularly unhappy cop in her way. She’ll have to solve it all without ending up in jail herself.

I'm pretty sure as long as he's in office it will be called "The Epstein Ballroom". As long as we, you know, keep calling it that. 😆

Hmm... it's as if something happened between 2016 and 2020 and again in 2025. Gosh, what could it be?

A good reminder.

This is the sort of smart-assery that makes the internet worthwhile.

Ah, yes. Like a joke grenade. You hear it and then it goes off later and you laugh. Done that, too. 😆

Humour like this is so unappreciated. Like when the bank teller asked me if I wanted my balance and I said, "Oh so you're the one who took it. I thought I was just clumsy all this time" and she just stared at me blankly. Sigh...

My hair may be thin now that I'm older, but you know what's even thinner? DJT's skin.

This scene resonated with me.

The Hopeless Cases: A comedy/mystery.
Imagine Douglas Adams teaming up with Agatha Christie to write a mystery novel, but Agatha gets fed up with the one-liners and storms out.

What hope is there after it all crumbles?

Surrender and flow into the rivers whose paths we may not be known, but will go beyond perceived obstacles.

Journey the road that burns safety blankets, but liberates.

Then rise from the ashes.

These aren't the detectives you're looking for.
But sometimes, you don't have a choice.

Mike the Writer Guy @wordsmith66.bsky.social · Sep 23

Right? They keep getting my hopes up and then they're still here afterwards. Sigh....

The '90s human girl x werewolf boyfriend are all grown up and living in married bliss. But once bodies of locals start appearing every full moon, our headstrong fmc has a choice: solve the killings or admit true love shouldn't require this much bleach.

Abby is an inexperienced detective, and Alyssa would rather be sneezed on by a congested elephant than take your case... but if you’re desperate, they’re probably as good as you’re going to get. A mystery/comedy.

I procrastinate too much. I still haven't scheduled my mid-life crisis yet and I'm close to 60.

After losing his Ontario seat, Pierre Poilievre won a new seat out west. Nice to see Alberta finally embracing recycling.
