The is no way around it – my mom is weird. I love her dearly, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is weird. She is a published author. I like that because she helps me write these posts. I suffered through listening to her romance novels as she edited them. I didn’t mind the kissing parts, but there are parts I don’t understand. I also listened to her first two mysteries. I’m her cat and listening to her is part of my job.

I know it had been hard for her to write when Dad was so sick. It wasn’t until a couple of weeks ago that she was able to focus more on her current mystery. That isn’t the weird part. It is that today, she started dancing around, throwing her arms in the air as she kept saying, “I did it! I finally murdered the no good XXXXX!” I assume that she didn’t personally murder anyone. She had told me that one of her characters in this book is not a very nice person. I’ll bet he is the one who was murdered. I’m fine with that, but does she have to dance because she makes takes place? Like I said, she is weird. Are all authors weird or is she special?
