Southernism of the Week: “It’s time to heat up the bricks.” 🔥🧱That's a way to say goodbye -- along with "It’s time to put the chairs in the wagon,"🪑 "It’s time to swap spit and hit the road,"🤝 and "It’s time to put out the fire and call in the dogs." 🧑‍🚒🐶

We had a great time writing three Felony Melanie novels, and we appreciate the enthusiastic response. At this point, we don’t have plans to write more, so it’s time to shut down this newsletter.
