Darklings is Here!

This blog is interrupted for a special announcement.

3-Mice Productions proudly presents its second novel this year--Darklings by C.D. Davis.  This is C.D. Davis' debut novel with plenty more to come.  You'll be drawn into the little seen world behind the walls of opera houses and grand palazzos where mice and other creatures of the night scamper into danger and thwart all manner of evil plots. With original illustrations for each chapter by C.D., you'll be charmed by this tale of intrigue, danger, and a touch of romance for ages 10 and up.


Book Description: Gabriella Caprella, a young mouse with a singing voice like an angel, travels from her home in 1912 New York City to beautiful Venice to claim her inheritance as the new Contessa d’Asiago. With the help of her friend, the bat Mercurio, she fends off murderous relatives, would-be vampire bats, and persistent suitors, while learning to be a contessa worthy of the House d’Asiago and dreaming of singing at Il Gran Teatro La Sala, Venice’s most famous opera house. Gabriella’s life becomes even more complicated when she discovers her relationship with Mercurio, son and heir of King Icaruso (sworn enemy of creatures of earth and of the House d’Asiago especially), extends beyond mere friendship. Will Gabriella escape the devious assassination plot? Will Mercurio end up in the canals of Venice or banished or worse?

Now available in the 3-Mice E-store and Amazon, Darklings is a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for young teen or for yourself.  An entertaining read, you won't be disappointed.

Suspense and human drama kept the old shows interesting. How'd we go from there to the gruesome films of today? Interesting post!

Four Ways to Improve Your Pastor

Management expert, the late Peter Drucker once observed that the four most difficult jobs were: President of the United States, a university president, hospital administrator, and you guessed it--pastor of a church. I can hear some of you saying "Are you kidding? He only works on Sundays."  Well, that's not quite true, is it? The research shows that pastors are burned out, prone to moral failure (and not just sexual), and their marriages are often troubled. Who in their right mind would want to be a pastor? It's a tough gig, and God most definitely needs to call you to the pulpit. It's not for the faint of heart or the thin skinned.  There's also this warning from James: Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. James 3:1 NLT   The job is 24/7/365, shepherding the flock of human sheep who, if we're honest, aren't great at following. The church is full

Barbecue Season

It's officially here according to the thermometer at Casa Wallace. Summer is blazing a trail through the desert right now. June is the hottest time of the year, which entices the monsoon season to finally show up. With summer comes barbecue time.  Steaks, burgers, chicken, you name it, we'll grill it to keep the heat of the house. Veggies are great too. The smell is my favorite summer air freshener. Every region has its own particular flavor for barbecue. Arizona is famous for that mesquite flavor. I haven't discovered THE Arizona barbecue recipe since we're greatly influenced by Texas. Smoked, slow cooked with a tomato based sauce, and fallin' off the bone, the ribs are finger lickin' good. We're lovers of Memphis barbecue, especially Corky's which is famous for its dry and wet seasoning. The dry rub is wonderful with a little kick to it. It's good on any meat, just rub it in, let it sit a spell and grill. Memphis elevates barbecue to divine hei

Choosing a Puppy for Your Children

"But, Mom the puppies are really cute. I'll take care of it. Honest. We need a dog. I'll walk him and feed him. Pleeeeeese, can't we get a puppy?" The age old parent-child exchange about getting a puppy. The big decision to bring a baby canine into your family. How the passionate promises of feeding, walking, and cleaning up after the puppy pour so easily from your child's lips. You know, however, you'll be the one doing all of the above and more.  Of course, puppies are adorable, soft, cuddly, entertaining, annoying, labor intensive, and sleep disrupting. But, most likely you'll cave and get one anyway. Companion dogs are members of the family, and the puppy you add to the mix needs to be a good fit. Emotions run high over that furry, roly-poly critter whose antics can melt the heart of the stone. Take a deep breath and do your homework before making the commitment. Don't get a puppy at Christmastime. The excitement of the holiday will make it
