OH, DAMN!



Kryptonite strikes again! I blew up another computer. Some of you may remember that this is my fifth computer. My fifth computer in the last year! I have completely decimated multiple hard drives, been attacked and infected by some viruses from hell and this time it seems that I cracked the screen on my brand new laptop. Darn thing looked like an abstract painting gone bad.

With another computer down family and friends have taken to hiding theirs the minute I step into the room. If I even attempt to mutter the words, “may I borrow…”, folks seem to disappear like vapor. My favorite was the kid who said, “don’t even think about asking” as he held up his fingers in the sign of a cross.

(BIG SIGH!)

So, with my computer down I’m back to pen and paper and it’s not working for me the way I need it to.

(BIG SIGH AGAIN!)

I’m thinking I need an intervention of some kind, maybe a hard drive exorcism, some voodoo incantation, or a talisman to ward off the demon that continues to strike every time my fingers hit the keyboard.

And I need it quick, before my computer gets back from being serviced!

Oh Ms. Debby, I couldn't help but give off a lil laugh after reading this. I think you and I both need some luck. Maybe leprechauns will help. I'd stay away from the voodoo though. Witch doctors can be sneaky~ And don't feel bad. My own mother kills just about every plant she ever touches. I do hope you can get a really awesome computer that's break, virus, and accident resistant.

Get an Apple Computer, yeah they cost more but they don't break down and you don't have to worry about viruses and the like.

DAMMIT, DO BETTER!

I love reading. I get excited when I discover a new author or find an outstanding story. I’m eager to leave reviews and share with others my new finds. When a book or story is lackluster, leaving me less than thrilled, I usually remain silent. I know the effort that an author has put into a story. I know how hurtful a bad review can be. It is not for me to dash anyone else’s dream because what I might not have liked, someone else may have loved. Recently I read books that left me disappointed, and angry. One was an award-winning title, the author gleefully claiming a coveted statue for her efforts. Clearly what I hated, others found award-worthy. And that actually scares me. The story was as well-written as any other in the genre. Its formulaic plot hit all the buttons that her publisher required. But as a woman of color, I found it as insulting and as distasteful as any story I have ever read. The story featured a Native American heroine. She had self-esteem issues, co...

THANK YOU AND GOODBYE FOR NOW!

I remember when I first started this blog. It was 19-years ago and I anxiously anticipated it running on forever and ever. Because I loved to write, I never imagined that there would come a time when I wouldn't have something to say or want to tell you a story. The influx of social media has changed the dynamics of what happens here. And for that reason, I believe the time has come for me to say goodbye to my "blog". But not whole-heartedly goodbye. Just arrivederci  and adios to what I do, or rather, haven't done in some time, in this particular space.  I will continue to write. Writing is in my DNA. Writing is my super-power and I'm not letting that go just yet. I'll still be all over social media trying to leave a small footprint in this vast, wide world. You'll still be able to find me on FACEBOOK , INSTAGRAM , THREADS , TIKTOK , and now the newbies, BLUESKY and SUBSTACKS . I'm still treading cautiously as I find my way but I'm hopeful someth...

NAUGHTY OR NICE TOUR - DAY 6 - DEBORAH FLETCHER MELLO

I'm so excited to be a part of the NAUGHTY OR NICE BOOK BLOG TOUR. And it gives me great pleasure to give you the first peek at my next release, PLAYING WITH FIRE . Available from Dafina books on February 24, 2015, wherever books are sold, PLAYING WITH FIRE is the first in my two-book Sultry Southern Nights series. ENJOY this excerpt and please, PRE-ORDER your copy today! Romeo Marshall is over six feet of cool, smooth, hot, southern seductiveness--just like the music at his popular Raleigh club, The Playground Jazz and Blues Bar. With his beloved mother gone and no father he's ever known, the business is Romeo's everything. It's a place where anything can happen--and the evening one gorgeous young woman and one intriguing old musician walk into the bar--and into Romeo's life--it does. There's something about high-powered, down-to-the earth Taryn Williams that captures Romeo's attention like no other woman has. Yet unanswered questions from his past s...
