Real Life Trumps Escapism.

So I finished the cozy I started the other day (it came from Amazon the day I finished the first in the series-perfect timing). The third book in the series did not arrive today (I got it from Amazon as well, but it was from a partner), so I had to start another series. I chose the current read because the protagonist is a glass blower filling in for an injured artist who demos on a cruise ship. What a cool job is that?!

Because I'm a dweeb, I read the authors acknowledgments and thank yous. Tucked away in this non-story part of the book was a website for a glassblowing studio that assisted the author with research. Since I've created a couple small pieces at the  Salado Glassworks studio and some fused glass at That Art Place here in Belton, I checked out the link. They offer some very nice projects and classes. I checked out the classes and their calendar, then it was time to dig into the novel.

A couple chapters into my newest read I received a text from That Art Place telling me my fused glass flamingo is ready for pickup.  The dilemma: continue reading or pick up my creation?

The murder hasn't occured yet...so duh!
