It is fitting that I was on my way to a museum filled with ghastly medical objects and oddities when I realized most of us are more haunted by the living than the dead. The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia is a medical history museum that houses such prized specimens as Einstein’s brain, conjoined fetuses in a jar, President Grover Cleveland”s jaw tumor, and an expansive wall case displaying Dr. Joseph Hyrtl’s human skull collection.

Everyone on my Christmas list is getting at least one book by an Indie author. Being a published author has introduced me to a whole new world of people around the world. I'm enjoying getting to know a lot of creative people. Nice to know I'm not the only one out there with such a crazy, vivid imagination. I enjoy writing about eclectic people with real issues that tend to open the readers' eyes, but wit and humor (comic relief) is a must in my writing. I've donated 85% my proceeds to non-profits, Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center and Cystic Fibrosis Org. The highlight of my days since my book went live in August is the day someone from the UK wrote a glowing review on Amazon. That's across the pond! So if you actually took the time to read this whole blog, as you fall asleep tonight I want you to feed yourself subliminal messages saying, "Buy The Naked Block, buy The Naked Block, buy The Naked Block."
