Dear Reader,
My biggest fear about death is that I'm afraid I'll be bored. Bored stiff, so to speak?! (Couldn't resist!)
I know, I know, the sales pitch is strong--satisfaction guaranteed. The streets are paved with gold, you get an automatic face lift and tummy tuck when you pass through the Pearly Gates, you don't have to share a room, the water's nice and hot the minute you turn on the tap, and you get to see all of your friends and loved ones that have passed on before you. (My Grandma Hale and I made a date for brunch the morning after I check-in.) Worry is a thing of the past and there's no need to work.
It's that last perk--there's no need to work--that concerns me.
I like to work, I love to work. It's satisfying. To me it's play time. I've only seen a couple of episodes of Touched by an Angel, the show where angels were given "assignments" here on earth, but the idea appeals to me. I'm looking forward to an afterlife career. I'm multi-talented, look good in white, and I'm not afraid to fly. I only hope I'm heavenly material. Can I use you as a reference when the time comes?
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

THE LIBRARY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW (Fiction) by M.J. Rose
Sometimes it's a place, other times it's a person that inspires a book. With The Library of Light and Shadow it was an image of a beautiful young woman wearing a blindfold and holding a paintbrush...and I had the idea of a woman who closed her eyes and did a portrait of her sitter's secrets.
Travel with me to New York in 1925 and then to the South of France with some days in Paris along the way. I want to take you on a journey to the past...an unusual past filled with some familiar names--like Picasso--and some characters I've created.
