  • One of the Reasons I Write is to Make My Life Sound More Interesting

    Take, for example, my first real crime. The first time I did it and got away with it. The lessons I learned and the sordid path it started me down since then. How thievery led to murder. It all started out innocently enough: A toy here, a toy there. Picking up after the kids and…
