In Olivia Blacke’s Rhythm and Clues (the third entry in the Record Shop Mystery Series) readers are once again visiting Cedar River, Texas, but this time in a torrential Texas thunderstorm.
The cats and kittens have continued to flow both in and out this month. Most of these felines had happy endings that consisted of them going to rescue. Seventeen lucky kitties went to rescue this month!!
One young cat had a not-so-happy ending. I picked up a severely malnourished female cat at a packing house near my home. A lady who worked there witnessed the poor thing nearly get taken out by a forklift so she contacted me. I picked her up immediately. However, despite my best efforts, the poor thing passed away three days later. Her starved little body just couldn’t recover.
We used to do a lot of local actor profiles early on, but we haven’t done as many in the last several years. It’s not that there aren’t still a lot of talented local actors out there, because there are, but we have expanded into so many other areas over the years that we don’t have as much space for the profiles as we used to.
In March, we (Well, some of us...) celebrated March 14 as Pi Day (3/14 is the date; the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is about 3.14). It was celebrated with pies...pizza, apple, Key lime, and more. Since I really like pi and pie, I have decided to unilaterally declare April Pi/Pie Month. Let’s dig in and see what I dug up.
Fresno Lexus Broadway in Fresno is presenting Aladdin at the Saroyan in Fresno May 1-5. Recently, KRL had the opportunity to interview cast/crew member Edward Cuellar who is actually a local boy from Visalia. Edward is one of the show’s swings, as well as the dance captain and fight captain.
This weekend the epic musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame will be opening at the Ice House Theatre in Visalia, presented by the Visalia Players. Recently we chatted with the show's director, Kelly Ventura, about the show.
When you’re a PI and dealing with Southie mobs, it’s a tightrope walk. Doing a favor, taking a job from both the Irish and the Italians at the same time, is working without a net. On the other hand, the reward is worth the risk, isn’t it? Shane Cleary convinces himself it is.
While Phoenix’s Channel Four Eyewitness News reporter Jolene Garcia’s passion is to pursue investigative stories that not only make a difference but also could win her an Emmy, she also must spend half of her time following her general manager’s (or his wife’s) orders to pursue click-baiting assignments. But the call that has her once again missing her chance to enjoy a decent meal, is the one that could do both, as the right-wing radio show host Larry Lemmon has been found dead at his station, possibly poisoned by delivered cookies.
Cats, Carats, and Killers is book four in T.C. LoTempio’s Urban Tails Pet Shop Mysteries and the perfect read for cozy mystery lovers who enjoy stories that include some wonderfully smart and cuddly feline companions.
Many years ago when I was writing for the Reedley Exponent I did a series of articles getting to know the officers of the Reedley Police Department. I decided it was time to do a version of that here at KRL as we chat with two of Reedley’s female officers. In March, we chatted with Officer Marisela Delgado from Fresno, and this month we are chatting with Officer Ashleigh Lopez from Dinuba.
