I was at First Trades Day in Canton in June. My wife and our friends walked through the various pavilions without buying a whole lot. We were heading to Europe for a retirement party/vacation. We booked this excursion when I retired in 2021 but Covid hit and it got postponed. I went back into the classroom as a substitute teacher, so my wife now considers me partially retired. My wife celebrated her 10th year of enjoying the “retirement life” and her best friend retired the day before we left. Her husband just went part-time. I wanted to go and get a wallet I could keep in my front pocket, which I found.
Near the end of our adventure, I met writer Deanna King. She is a kindred spirit as she is an independent author as well. She was bubbly and excited and we spent a lot of time talking together. I wound up buying and reading one of her Whydoneit novels – Lethal Liaisons. A serial killer is on the loose in Houston, Texas and it follows a team of top-notch detectives to the end. The method of murder was unique and her characters colorful. Check it out wherever you get your books, physical or digital.
