2012
We had some pleasant memories in Colorado, but something was always missing. Sometimes me and Eme would go for this long, beautiful drive up the mountain and let the dogs go with us and see the deer. Oh, how they loved going for rides with us!
Amelia met her first boyfriend, and it was so cute to see them going off together on their first date. We went to concerts at the park, and it was so refreshing to see other people out drinking alcohol that was served in public! Being from Utah you would never see that! There was a feeling of freedom where everyone was happy and chill, doing their own thing, and not judging anyone else for doing there’s. I loved that feeling. I felt like I belonged. It was also like that in Arizona and Washington as well. The world is a large place with millions of really cool and good people in it who know God, Mormons only take up a small part in Utah & Idaho. It’s like living in a fishbowl where your married to Tom, Dick, and Harry, Bobby BYU and Molly Mormon girls.
So, I fell, and fell hard, it was like mental confusion coming on strong. Calling the crises line for help because of suicidal ideation but getting no help from them.
Was it the move? Petes surgery? Jessica Sage not with us? Missing my old job where I was a babysitter in my own beautiful home? It was a dark heavy thought and no matter what I tried to do to release it, it would not go away.
Smoking, drinking more, did not help. I had no real worry or major concern in my life so why was this happening again?
Colorado was a time of me being deeply depressed with suicidal thoughts and not understanding why? Worry about my children, my dogs, and missing my family in Utah.
I loved the escape of running through the fields with Eva and Andre. We felt free and there were several gratitude moments. Surrounded with beautiful scenery, big open fields where you could get lost in, I used to play in the fields with Jay when I was younger, just being in nature,
Maybe it was just the worry of not knowing what we were going to do next in our lives. I mean would we stay in Colorado; would we build a house there?
Pete had built the mansion in 2009, and we lost it from the crash in 2010. That was a really difficult thing for us to go through.
It just felt like we were starting all over again.
Would the kids all come and be close to us?
Petes indecisiveness really bothered me and pissed me off. I mean why are we always moving? This sucked, it’s like you have to start all over again and change your whole life every time! Moving is hard on any family, especially when you leave all your extended family behind. I mean it was for me.
We decide to move back to Arizona thinking this will be good, but little did we know that this would be the beginning of our nightmare.
Kash had moved and went back to AZ first, I was missing Andre because he took him with him. I decided to drive all the way to AZ to go see him, yeah, I missed him that much, well and Kash too!
Unfortunately, something bad happened that day. Andre bit a lady; it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. This lady was acting all hyper and screaming, causing Andre to get more freaked out, and this was before Andre had even done anything! She provoked him. If she would have just kept her mouth shut and went on her way none of this would have ever happened! She started kicking at him and hitting him and he bit her on the bottom of her leg. Well, I was mortified. Andre had accidentally run out of Kashs house when he wasn’t supposed to so yes it was definitely our fault. She scared him, and he scared her!
Kash grabbed Andre and put him back in the house while I went and attended to this lady. I apologized repeatedly and I was trying to be helpful and kind. I went in her house with her and got her a cloth to put on her leg. Again, the bite was not that bad there was no blood or anything, but I will admit if I would have been bitten by a strange pit bull I would have been upset too. Not as upset as her though. Nothing I could say or do would help and she was very rude to me crying and screaming hysterically. She called the cops and even the cops told me she was overreacting and making way too big of a deal over a small bite.
Yes, it was a bite, I know that is serios and I felt really bad, I tried to help as much as I could. I was so worried they were going to take Andre away, but they ended up giving us a warning telling us Andre had to be on quarantine at my home back in Colorado. I drove back home in shock and in tears. I felt bad this happened, and I felt helpless.
The lady ended up suing us, so we had to go to Court, but the case was dropped because she never showed up! It was a lot of drama and a lot of stress.
We rent a little place in Fountain Hills again, and both the girls are living with us now. Kash is on his own again. I get a job that I really liked at an awesome Pre School in Scottsdale. Everything was brand new; it was a beautiful school, and I liked this environment.

Pete and the girls go to Yellowstone with my family, but I didn’t go because it was my first week on my new job and I didn’t want to lose this opportunity. I look back now and wish I would have gone.
Amelia is a Junior in high School and is a cheerleader. She was so cute!
I was falling deeper and deeper in the black hole of hell and depression.
Was it because I was getting older? I hated aging! I was about to hit 50! So, depressing! I had dreaded and feared this old age my whole life! Things were really bothering me, I was struggling so bad, I tried to read self-help books, I tried to pray and talk to gram, but nothing was helping.
I ended up quitting my job at the preschool because it was getting too overwhelming. They continued to add more and more children with not enough help from teachers and I couldn’t do it all!
To make matters worse I end up working at Fountain View Village again with all the old sick and dying and to think that this would help with depression absolutely did the complete opposite!
Those old people are mean, depressed, rude, stubborn, heavy, demanding and they stink!
I tried another job at a day care, I remember vividly sitting in my car not wanting to get out and go through all the motions again. I just wanted to run away from life! Kash had shared devastating news with us that I will write about later and I didn’t have the strength to get out of my car and go back to work!It was Creative child Care, and I hated my bitch boss, her personality, and just everything about this job sucked!
I told Pete and Sage one day that I was feeling suicidal, and they didn’t quite know what to say. What could they say, I mean that is pretty heavy.
The heaviness of the emotions that I was going through literally caused me not to be able to move, especially the last one that completely came from left field from my son that I will write about later.
I wasn’t able to be around children because of the latest devastating news and I fell even deeper into the depression.
Then I got a hysterectomy!
and shit hit the fan.
One day I was taking the dogs for a walk and Andre saw another dog from across the street and he ended up pulling me so hard that I fell right on my face and broke my ribs and collarbone. It knocked me out because when I woke up, I was lying there with Andre and Eva right by my side and some bitch lady screaming at us. I don’t even think she asked me if I was ok, she continued to bitch at me and then walk off.
I was in so much pain, Pam happened to call, and I told her what happened, then Pete came home to me. He was pissed at Andre for causing this and Andre had also caused one of our neighbors to hurt his eye that was already hurt, which then this old man ended up suing us for so much money and if Pete would have not had insurance, we would be in the poor house right now.
So yes, Andre had caused so much stress and trouble. Pete continued to tell Kash to come get him or Pete was going to send him away. But Kash never came!
The hysterectomy was done because we thought it would help my awful heavy periods. Doctor Kwatra also told me that it could help with the depression. Boy was she wrong.
So yeah, I guess you could say I had been through a lot in a short amount of time. A head injury, a surgery, broken rib and collarbone, getting sued, moving, quitting jobs and the very worst the loss of my first grandchild. -

Service Model – Tchaikovsky (2024)
I liked the story and the writing, though I think it didn't go anywhere memorable in the end. The start of it, the first few chapters, I found the strongest and most engaging. There is a strong surreal comic element (with a Jeeves and Wooster setting) that works well. The story keeps moving and never really drags but it gets transparently preachier and preachier and more Deus Ex Machina at the end and while I did finish it, I did not finish it with a sense of satisfaction.

#PennedPossibilities 1100: Who is the most challenging opponent your MC has ever faced? What did they learn from them?
Almost anybody would be a challenging opponent for Bolt (a day angel courier for the mob). She doesn't fight, usually; when she's thinking straight, she flies away because she knows they do kill the messenger. Even Shugh, her newspaper reporter friend is a challenging opponent. Bolt is attracted to the trans woman, but if she gives in… she fears she'll ruin Shugh's other relationships—but now Shugh's interested in her. Or is it her hidden identity? She's sure it's both.
The story is a cozy mystery, however. Bolt is an interstitial character becoming an MC, who is subtly influencing everyone around her (main and supporting characters from other stories) as they face off dangers.
The exception as far as not interacting is Rainy Days. The woman ticks Bolt off when Bolt is flying with her friend and lover Blue. The two engage in flying aerial combat… No, scratch that. They fly super dangerous, madly skilled, stunts around poor confused Blue who has to fly as straight as an arrow so they don't crash. Rainy Days ends up conceding after Bolt's defeat that Bolt is persistent, at least.
What did Bolt learn? Yes, she learns Rainy Days is dangerous, skilled, has her eye on Bolt, and knows too much for about Bolt for Bolt's comfort considering that Bolt is a criminal and Rainy Days rules ten worlds. However, mostly Bolt is ticked that woman has ridden her best friend, Blue—and Blue didn't share the interesting news. Not jealousy, it's trust.

#WordWeavers 2026.08.14 — Which fictional setting of yours would you most like to visit?
I would like to visit the "villa" described in Reluctant Accomplice. It was extravagantly constructed 20 to 30 years ago in the shape of an amanita mushroom using the same miraculous reluctant technology used to build structures in space, dipolar gravity. The amanita is a famous hallucinogenic poisonous mushroom that has a red top dotted with white warts, with white gills, stem, and skirt. The building is whimsical. Like from a fairy tale. Immense. At least a dozen stories high, reflective like a soap bubble, with moving prismatic soap swirls on its surface. Inside, down gravity conforms to the surfaces regardless of planetary down. The great room room at the top of the structure has the sky for the floor. When the abducted MC arrives, it late in the day. The gathering storm clouds are colored underneath by sunset and shadow; quiet, intriguing, otherworldly. Ought be spectacular in person. The ruler of ten worlds built it so she could disappear there occasionally with her exiled dragon lover. The chapter is titled Love Nest. Another of the villa's features is a hot spring in a gravity bubble, which is described in a short sample of my writing titled Ms George and the Dragon (https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/110603595653290409)

I asked, "Are you planning something to seriously annoy Director Rainy Days?"
"She is not very charming, but quite sexy when she becomes annoyed. You sound like you don't like the dear girl."
I really wanted to see his face, but squished up against him in his sweaty hold that wasn't happening. It sounded like he smiled sardonically.
I said, "She killed my parents."
"What I plan will absolutely annoy her."
"Count me in."
"Good."
