Saturday Sippers Live (well almost) from Austin Texas and #AustinBookFest

Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Welcome to the feature here in The Locker called Saturday Sippers. Today is extra special because I’m spending it in AUSTIN, TEXAS! At the #AustinBookFest -featuring some amazing authors



, devoted bloggers,

and dedicated fans.

Now, when readers and writers get together, there is usually wine involved. Maybe a little bit of chocolate and even cupcakes—or for the REALLY lucky, KOLACHES.

Straight from West, TX


But, something I look forward to after a hard week of workin’ is a red beer.

Red Beer?


There’s another name for it in these parts, and for the squeamish I’ll just apologize now…some bartenders call it a bloody beer. (no, it isn’t real blood.) I’ll just call it red beer for the sake of appeal. Further, if you’re from Mexico, or vacationed there, you might call it a Michelada. The Michelada has several variations, so, ask how your drink will be prepared before you order it. Budweiser has a canned version called the Chelada…(oh, yea… now you nod remembering you’ve seen it in the beer aisle before).
My favorite way to have a red beer starts with a draw of Coors light and add a healthy amount of Clamato juice

and a dash or three of Louisiana hot sauce.
The contents of your glass will turn a beautiful shade of Texas Ruby Red…and your tummy will thank you for the treat.


Well, time for me to get back to the fun.

WEST, TEXAS!! I'm jealous. We haven't made a trip there since last November.
Did you stop at the new place on the west side of the freeway? We stopped there and it was their second day of business. They were still pretty empty, with new things due the next week. I found some Apple Butter Syrup in there that is very good.

Yes, we stopped at the Czech Stop, but, we also went a little further into town to a place the locals frequent. that's where we got the cinnamon rolls to DIE FOR.

Demise on Top of a Mountain...Blue Ink-Tuesday Tales

Image
Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Happy Tuesday and time for another edition of Tuesday Tales. This week I return to my current demonic, paranormal thriller, Blue Ink: The Skin Stalker for our journey to the top...I present-  " mountain ". "The Skin Stalker reached his destination, Echo Mountain .   He willed his evil connection to the underworld to transport him and his sacrifice, Hannah, to the top.   He held her loosely in his arms, as if her virtue burned his vile leathery skin.   Her head hung gracelessly backward toward the ground. The wind rushed through her long hair, blowing it around her face and across her delicate features- now relaxed in the throes of death.   The end of mortal Hannah happened on the top of Echo Mountain. The Skin Stalker roared viciously as Hannah took a final breath and released it noiselessly.   Yet, in death, she smiled, confusing the demon monster known as Skin Stalker.   Her body no longer a heavy weight, i...

Just Out of My Grasp -- Life with Chronic Illness

http://store.secretcravingspublishing.com/index.php?main_page=book_info&products_id=241 Fibromyalgia - Mayo Clinic Ahoy Fellow Fathomers, I’ve decided to use my blog not only to writing, music, and other facets of entertainment, but, also to share my journey. On June 19, 2013, my rheumatologist told me the reason for many of my ongoing health problems is because I have systemic lupus, also known as SLE. But, after second opinions and many more doctor visits, my neurologist believes it is actually Fibromyalgia. At any rate, no autoimmune disease is a good diagnosis, but, to me, Fibromyalgia is a blessing compared to lupus. Thank you for listening, each week I will have a new installment chronicling my journey. Please, please feel free to comment, write, share. I hope to use this forum as a help to all of us, no matter what pain you are experiencing. You may also send stories to me via finlessbook at gmail dot com. I will respect your privacy and maintain your anony...

Tuesday Tales and a Fussy Body

Image
Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! It's time for Tuesday Tales. A group of writers gather together and give our interpretation of a specific word prompt each week. This week we share the prompt "fussy".  You never know what you might encounter when you get inside our minds.  This will be an excerpt f ro m my brand new yet-to-be-named WIP. Enjoy!~ Behind closed eyes, my mind sees as clearly in the dark as when wrapped in the rays of a sunny day, and everything is in fast forward- these clips keep sliding through so fast I can’t grab onto any single one to keep it stationary. Just like I can’t grab onto you to keep you from moving on, away from me, away from us, away from everything I know as love, as comfort, as home. Of course I can’t sleep, my fussy mind prohibits the respite my body desperately needs.   Could you sleep if you knew you wouldn’t hold those hands again so tightly, gripping...
