2019 IS ALMOST OVER

Neon, Sign, Viva, Las Vegas, CasinoIt is hard to believe that 2019 is almost over, and what a year it has been. It is cool living in Las Vegas but not being addicted to going to the Strip for entertainment. In fact, so many locals really avoid the Strip but it's like an adult Disneyland for visitors.

This year I've seen lots of good acts, many from Yesteryear, at the local South Point Casino. Last weekend there was a great Bee Gees tribute group. I mean really great. By the end of the show at least 80% of the audience was up on their feet dancing in the aisles. And yes, I was shakin' my booty, too.

Image may contain: sky and outdoorWe've had the pleasure of seeing acts like The Lettermen, Frankie Avalon, James Darren, Donny Edwards (a fantastic Elvis tribute), The Four Freshmen, Wes Winters, Deja Vu, and so many more. The showroom is a nice intimate showroom, parking is no hassle and that makes it easy to say "Let's see a show" on the weekend.

On the writing front, three new books were released in the past few months: Scammed (in the Revenge is Fun series), Murder on the Menu (in the Silver Sisters Mysteries) and the 4th edition of my handbook for writers, Writers Tricks of the Trade: 39 Things You Need to Know About the ABCs of Writing. Would you believe
that while I was editing it for 2020, I was actually learning from my own book? I would read through chapters with valuable information that I'd actually forgotten and go, "Why aren't I using that?" There I was feeling amazed that with 18 books in publication now, I'm still learning from my own book. Who would have thought it?


Dylan the Dog continues to be my little buddy and the light of my life. He still looks like a Golden puppy, but according to the vet my rescue dog is probably about 11 now. He is diabetic, but that doesn't slow him down. Insulin shots twice a day and he's good as new. He loves playing with his friend Sparky, a rescue rat terrier who is about the same age.

That's all for today. MORGAN
