Last night I drove my poor baby bassets crazy making them watch  A Bing Crosby Christmas special circa 1968. His wife Kathryn and Glen Campbell were co-hosting as well. Although this particular program had aired a few years before I was born, it did bring me back to my younger days when the family would all sit together and watch holiday variety shows like this every year. My baby bassets were frustrated at first with the quality of the picture. It was extremely fuzzy. After about ten minutes, I think they got used to it, and pretty soon they were as mesmerized by the beautiful Christmas music and the soothing voice of Bing Crosby. I was finding it very easy to slip down the rabbit hole of YouTube videos. I went on to show my boys Bing Crosby singing The Little Drummer Boy with David Bowie, then the Bee Gees movie, Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.  They hit their limit with the Bee Gees and made a run for it. Those boys won’t get far. I’m thinking Thursday Night Movie Night!!! I will bribe them with candy.

Reluctant psychic Katrina Parker always suspected her love of tacos would one day get her into trouble. She just always believed it would come in the form of tight jeans, not a decapitated head and the quiet ghost attached to it.

Agreeing to lend a hand to the severed head, Kat discovers that the problems of lugging a head all over town, crashing a wake, and keeping it hidden from hunky detective Damian Johnson all pale in comparison to having to deal with the constant smell issue.

Each misstep brings her closer to an answer, yet even closer to danger. And with her friends and family now in the line of fire, Kat must keep all her wits about her or risk losing her own head.

Now includes bonus short story: Car Shopping with Kat

FREE for a limited time

“At sunset hour the forest was still, lonely, sweet with tang of fir and spruce, blazing in gold and red and green; and the man who glided on under the great trees seemed to blend with the colors and, disappearing, to have become a part of the wild woodland. Old Baldy, highest of the White Mountains, stood up round and bare, rimmed bright gold in the last glow of the setting sun. Then, as the fire dropped behind the domed peak, a change, a cold and darkening blight, passed down the black spear-pointed slopes over all that mountain world. Milt Dale, man of the forest, halted at the edge of a timbered ridge, to listen and to watch… ” – Zane Grey, “Man of the Forest”
