Ideas
I’ve been asked more than once where I get my ideas. The other day someone asked me where I came up with the idea for Cosmic Sex and what exactly it was like to have Cosmic Sex. Being very serious (if you know me, that might be a stretch for you)…okay, being very serious, I looked them straight in the eye and told them that Karl (hubby) is really an alien and many years ago he abducted me. After he got me to his planet, we had wild cosmic sex and he realized he couldn’t live without me so he moved to planet Earth.
With eyes as big as saucers (note the pun), she said, “Really?”
Karl has been asking me if I’ve noticed that people in town are looking at him kind of strangely. I told him it’s the new haircut and not to worry about it.
I went into the Bread & Butter store the other day to get a Dr. Pepper before heading to a meeting and the girl behind the counter said, hello Ms Karen. She always calls me Ms. Karen and I think it’s so cute. I guess she’s probably about 24. Anyway, when I went to pay out she turned beat red and told me she’d read one of my books. Then she said Karl must be a really lucky man. Not really. I’m usually writing or reading and he falls asleep early, but I smiled and told her, “No, I’m a lucky woman.”
Karl came in the house the other day. He’d made a run to the Bread and Butter for milk. He said a bunch of the regulars were sitting around at the table drinking coffee (we live in a really small town in Texas) anyway, they started calling out how he was the man and nodding at him.
I told him I wouldn’t worry about it. They’d probably seen him outside with his new mower.
Poor Karl doesn’t have a clue, but I love him anyway.
Have a fun day!

I saw him for the very first time when I was 14 and knew someday I would marry him. We’ll be married 39 years in Aug. I keep trying to tell him I’m always right.
