First attempt, not sure I’m thrilled with the music but I can change it. Let me know what you think!

The Kitchen Project

The first set of cabinets are done! Woot! Hubby put the second coat on the doors yesterday and I laid down new shelf liner then put it all together this morning.

The hardware has gone from this lovely shade of grease

To this!

Yeah, baby! Look at the shine on those cabinets too, huh? Took two days to clean up the hardware, a bottle of vinegar, a toothbrush, a bottle of Tarn-X, a can of Brasso, a few soft scrubbies, and lots of patience but I think they look great.

Now for the cabinets….drum roll please…..

Not too shabby, hey?

Next Victim…

If I had my way…and a ton of cash!..I’d knock out that wall and open it up. Get rid of the cabinet and the little open closet space next to it, turn it into a two shelf-bookcase on the living room side. Dreamin’s free. LOL

Yep, it needs help and this is the ‘youngest’ cabinet in the kitchen. As you can see, there’s no need to worry about contact paper with this one as my mother never put it down.

Considering three weeks ago we started with this

And managed to turn it into this

I think we got this one licked.

Sunday Stories-Obsession

Hi there!

Welcome to the very first week of the

Sunday Stories Independent Authors Hop

I’d like to introduce you to my upcoming novella

Obsession
Releases 2/29/2012

A Bit About: Set in the fictional place of Tarrytown, Maine, “Obsession” centers on the characters of Colonel Kevin T. Smith, retired and Helen Edward Makris both of whom have a second-chance at love if only the Shaw Street Strangler would get out of their way. This novella is Adults Only and contains several scenes of graphic sex, violence, and sexual violence. As with everything else I write it is not for the faint of heart as we delve into the diseased mind of an serial killer with a deadly obsession…or two.

Excerpt:

As Kevin closes the front door he turns to the irate younger man and begins walking toward him, “Just wait, before you start…”

“Start? Start? You better be more concerned about how I’m gonna finish this…Colonel,” Rafe shoots as he takes an angry step toward the man holding up his hands in a gesture of peace and surrender. Before he can shove Kevin away from Helen she steps in and pushes them apart.

“Why I do I feel like I’m in a time warp standing here between you and your brother?” Helen asks as her warm brown eyes glare at her son. “Listen to me, Rafe, it’s been a horrible day and I really don’t need whatever this is. So, like when you were little, if you two have some issue with each other, there’s the door. Take it outside, settle it like men but, for right now, just leave me out of it!” She plops down on the couch, white as a sheet, grabs for the half-full glass of wine with one hand and her head with the other.

Kevin walks away, puts his hand on the slider and opens the door, “You heard your mother, Edwards, let’s go.”

“We’re not on duty now I don’t have to take orders from you.”

“We’ll then take them from me, your poor mother, and get out.”

With a deep grunt, Rafe walks out the door behind Colonel Smith but before it’s even shut he starts yelling obscenities. Kevin pulls him toward the farthest corner of the deck away from the house knowing Ellie doesn’t need to find out about him this way. “Are you fuckin’ my mother?”

Edwards was a lot of things in Kevin’s experience with the man and apt to mince words had never been one of them. “That’s rather crude and I don’t think of it like that but, yes. If you should ask her about it I wouldn’t put it to her quite that way.”

“No? What way are you putting it to her?”
