    New Spartacus Novel: “Morituri”

    Oh, “Spartacus”, how I love to read you. This wonderful written world spawned by the STARZ original series of the same name is just as vile and ill-spirited. If you know the series, then you know that is a compliment. There is so much plotting and scheming in “Morituri” it’s difficult to know who to…

  • Brian Velana & his Skyline Take 1st place in “Sport Compact” at Show ‘n Shine

    Brian Velana & his Skyline Take 1st place in “Sport Compact” at Show ‘n Shine

    THIS  kind of Skyline – not the cloudy or sunny kind. This sweet ride is a 1989 Nissan Skyline and is owned by Brian Velana.  I knew approximately where to find the Skyline but as soon as I arrived I could hear people talking about it.  It’s an unusual looking car – in that –…

    Coast to Coast in a 1941 Dodge

    This weekend, Kamloops was host to the 18th Annual “Hot Night in the City” event.  Over 350 cars registered and showed up to cover 13 blocks downtown Kamloops.  It was amazing. One of the cars that stood out was a sleek blue, 1941 Dodge Model D21S.  This car has been lovingly restored by its owners…

    AppStravaganza: Hipstamatic

    I love photo apps for my iPhone.  Many of the free ones are fantastic but there’s one app that I think is worth the $1.99 fee: Hipstamatic (by Hipstamatic LLC) If you’re the kind of person who just snaps the occasional pic, or wants everything to be fast and efficient then this probably isn’t the…

    Review: Sherlock Holmes – The Army of Dr Moreau (Avail. Aug 24th)

    Charlotte Kinzie || Kamloops, BC When this book arrived I was a little worried.  I mean – you’ve all noticed how much Sherlock Holmes is around lately.  I was a tiny bit concerned about reading another version of the world’s most famous detective.  Guy Adams is a great author with a vivid imagination, and it shows…

    Dear Writers: I want Sheriff Jody Mills Back On “Supernatural”

    I did something today I never thought I would do. I wrote to the writing team of a television show. In spite of the fact that my husband will mock me endlessly, I feel good about it.  It’s going in the mail box on my walk home. I watch “Supernatural”. I love the show and, for…

    Still With The Living

    Got into a medication mixup through no fault of my own.  Spent a few days in bed.  Really in bed … not like, I’ve got a cold and stay on the couch and watch TV. I was asleep for the better part of three days. Back to cycling tomorrow! I hope it doesn’t hurt too…

    Author Ariel S. Winter On “The Twenty Year Death”

    Charlotte Kinzie || Kamloops, BC “The Twenty Year Death” stayed with me.  It’s been a couple of weeks since I finished this trilogy of crime novels but I found myself thinking about the characters on and off.   When I was offered an opportunity to interview author, Ariel S. Winter, I accepted gladly. -=-=-=- char:…

    It Sucks To Have Fur When It’s 30 C

    I’ve had cats most of my life but never in a climate like this before.  Semi-arid dessert is what Joel keeps telling me.  I say – freakin’ hot.  Willow started to slow up at about 25 degrees.  She only moves now when there is food available or she can persuade me to turn the air…

Taking to the stage shortly after 11:30am, Johnson was “willing to bet you this morning I’m the first man to sing blues while drinking…
