There will be pictures soon. I am transitioning from using photobucket to Picassa so be patient. I have taken thousands of pictures in the 15 weeks since I arrived here and will bore you with almost all of them!
I have badly neglected this blog because it was so much easier to log on to Facebook and jot a few lines and banter about my latest adventures or misadventures with folks I have known online for so long. However a recent turn of events had made me deactivate my FB accounts for now.
In the interim, using all that free time that used to be wasted on Facebook I have decided to write a novel. Fiction, pure fiction of course but I think it is very believable and will be a best seller in some circles.
Here in a nutshell is the plot so far. Note this is all purely FICTION from my vivid imagination.
Note I name no names. I am not responsible for anyone concluding on their own if they think they know who the guilty parties are.Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is purely coincidence and I certainly mean no comparisons to anyone I may or may not know in real life.
So the story begins happily as do many mystery novels, and revolves around a make believe female in her early 40's who is tall, blonde, thin and gorgeous. She decides it is time for an adventure and plans a cross country move to a new country.
When you move to a new country as a single woman alone there are a lot of details to take care of-like mail and banking and having someone who knows where you are in case you are in trouble, that kind of thing.
The heroine of the novel trusted someone whom she thought she knew well. She had known this person for several years, visited them, met their family and thought they were trustworthy given the nature of their jobs. She blithely used their address for financial information to be mailed since she erroneously assumed it would be safer than having it sent to Mexico.She also sent them copies of he ID in case of loss or robbery or accident on the long drive from Canada to Mexico. She followed very prudent advice for single women traveling alone.
The trusted friend has a dark side however, and suddenly stops talking to the heroine, unfriending her on social media sites, and unbeknowst to the heroine of the story, begins spreading stories alleging breaches of confidences such as posting pictures and rumours of her and her married boyfriend online in groups. She refuses to respond to the heroines calls, texts, emails etc.. At the exact same time the poor traveling heroine is notified by her bank of gross irregularities in her account. Money being withdrawn in a place that she was no where near at the time etc. Smoke screen to cover fraud? Coincidence? Substance abuse? OOOOOOOH you will have to wait until the plot is revealed in its full gory splendor!
Sound like a best seller? I need a name for the make believe characters and of course there are many more chapters to write but I think it has potential as a best seller.
Of course authorities in all three jurisdictions become involved, hidden secrets are uncovered and it turns into quite the spy tale. I need to watch more Nancy Grace to get the courtroom stuff realistic.
Again I make no allegations at anyone. Just outlining a book I have had the idea of writing for a while now.. Purely fiction. But aren't you dying to hear my ideas for the next chapters? I am having fun letting my imagination and writing skills go wild on this tale. I think it is very real and could very easily happen which makes it such a great idea for a novel.
So FB friends I miss you, those of you who were there for me.
For those of you who liked to copy and paste and report back to your nasty groups, those of you who didn't get raptured, well I guess you are not such great christians after all are you? God does have a way of getting you for that kind of shit doesn't she? Maybe a bit less posting about how holier than thou you are and a lot more soul searching and you will make the next rapture. Probably not though, ugly is ugly inside.
Happy Monday everyone. My next post will hopefully be on a lighter note. I am off to research death penalty states for fun.
Oh and it is a balmy 89 on my terrace in the shade, the gardener has watered the birds of paradise and the ginger plants and the pool guy has balanced the water so it is ripe for a float on the floatie. Losing 20 lbs over this book idea makes me feel a lot better about the project although I would much rather rewind and start my trip here again. So many things I would have done different.
Hasta Luego
