Tickle Your Funny Bone

Need a reason to laugh? The Looney Tunes will give you one.

Looney Tunes

Anyone without a sense of humor is at the mercy of everyone else.
---William Rotsler

As an avid watcher of Comedy Central, I can tell you comedy, or what is considered funny, has changed over the years. (Today words are said, even shouted, on TV and in movies that if I had dared to even whisper would have netted a mouth full of soap. While I love watching today's comedians, it's the classic slapstick humor that has me rolling on the floor laughing.

Classic Humor

While I enjoy the Three Stooges and giggle when Laurel screws up yet again, I prefer to get my dose of humor through the written word. I love to read and I love to write. I have written five humorous mysteries, published one and am getting ready to sigh a contract for the second.

Writing humor is serious business, or so my editor keeps telling me. He may be right, but life can be hard and it can be cruel. Sometimes I need to pick up a book and get lost in an alternate reality. Annie, the heroine in My Mother's Shoes, uses gossip, scandal and murder to unearth the truth buried under a stinky pile of lies.
