At one point, I thought I would skip this week’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Then, I realized I had an important announcement to make, so I figured I/d write a short, satisfy-the-prompt-make-the-announcement post. Then Linda G. Hill offered bonus points. So, if you were hoping to get a break from me, sorry, but it’s Linda’s fault. Her prompt for today:
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘sight/site.’ Use one, use them both, use them any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use them both. Have fun!”
If we were having a beer, Cheryl would be surprised.
“Wow, you guys are a sight for lonely eyes. I thought you said you weren’t coming today.”
“Hi Chery. Dan said he wasn’t coming, but I thought I’d swing by for one glass of John Howell’s Bourbon.”
“OK, Dan. Then why are you here?”
“I was driving by on my way back from Target and I saw David’s car in the lot. I thought I’d stop for one beer.”
“Well, whatever works. David, here’s your bourbon, seltzer, and ice. Dan, here’s your Modelo.”
“Thanks Cheryl. I was going to stop in at some point to make sure you’re working next Saturday.”
“Still tired of Skippy?”
“No, we’re going to have a guest next week.”
“Cool, who’s coming?”
“Carol J. Parsons.”
“Carol J. Parsons, the author?”
“Wait, wait, I don’t know anyone named Carol J. Parsons. Now, Cheryl, from your question, it sounds like there’re more than one.”
“David, there’s only one—that I know of—and she is an author. I just added that for emphasis.”
“Oh. OK. What does she write, Dan?”
“Science Fiction, Westerns, Romance, Fantasy, and some other stuff—all with Cristian values running through. She covers a lot of ground, and she does it all very well.”
“This sounds like a Saturday I don’t want to miss, Dan, but I have a few questions.”
“David, the drinks are on me. Other than that, save your questions for next week.”
“I figured, since you’re letting us know today, you might want some help preparing for Carol’s visit.”
“No, I’m good. I didn’t want Cheryl to miss meeting Carol.”
“I’ll be here, Dan. I’m sticking Skippy with the following weekend.”
“You expect that to be the fourth of July crunch?”
“Yeah. The fourth is on Tuesday. I figure a lot of people will have a four-day weekend.”
“OK. If you won’t answer any more questions, can you tell me where I can find more about Carol on the web?”
“I’ll give you two sites—her website—and her Amazon Author page, but I’ll have more to share next week.”
“Anything to share from the past week, Dan?”
“Faith and I hiked a portion of the Windsor Locks Canal on Sunday.”
“Can I assume that you have some pictures to share?”
“I do. Let’s take a look.”
Today’s gallery is a little larger than usual, but I couldn’t cut any farther. Also, if the title inspired a memory, that song is below the gallery. Also, tomorrow is Father’s Day in a number of countries so Happy Father’s Day to fathers everywhere. I’ve tacked on a special flag at the end.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
