My life forever changed on January 28, 2018 and I've been catching up ever since.</div>
<div>
I was forced to trade a comfortable lifestyle on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for the rural Alabama Black Belt Region.I quickly found out I preferred the year-round white sand and clear blue water of the beach, not cold winters and hot summers.</div>
<div>
During this two-year stretch, I was forced to re-invent myself and adapt to new surroundings. I'm not 25 years old anymore, but not ready for the retirement home either.</div>
<div>
I became a grandfather for the first time, to a beautiful girl named August Amelia Tilton. I can't wait to meet her.</div>
<div>
Even with all the changes, I did not lose my dream of becoming a screenwriter. I've made a little progress.</div>
<div>
I'll try not to stay away. Until then, keep grinding.<br />

I always wanted to write a book mixing romance and sports involving the Olympics.<br />
That's where <b>A Sporting Life </b>came in: chronicling the lives of three couples whose lives revolved around either the Summer or Winter Olympics.<br />

On vacation last week, I took the time to glance through old files.<br />
<br />
One of the things I discovered: my first E-book published in 2008, <b>How to Cure a Cajun Cold</b>, was scheduled for print release in 2012. The unlikely storybook romance of a doctor and writer: Arnaz Booker and Isis Rogers, who met at a pre-medical institute in 1990.<br />
<br />
Well, the print book never came to fruition and I decided to make it happen. I reworked Cajun Cold and added the third book of the College Love 101 trilogy,<b> Back in Love Again</b>. My reason was skipping the sequel,<b> Catching a Cuban Curveball</b>, didn't fit. The only thing in Book 2 would've worked was a wedding and I didn't need that scene.<br />
<br />
I planned a fourth and final e-book in the series, <b>Final Exam</b>, about Arnaz and Isis' son, Quentin Booker chasing a pro baseball career and romance with an older woman in his team's organization. Isis' reaction provided the emotional arc I needed to finish the book and remade into <b>Lost in Your Eyes. </b><br />
<br />
Available e-book or print, here's a buy link: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548934798/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500267671&sr=8-1&keywords=kt+bishop">https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548934798/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500267671&sr=8-1&keywords=kt+bishop</a><br />

The journey to screenwriting success is paved with several roadblocks. Some promising. Some an ode to nowhere.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
For an opportunity to gain exposure, I've joined an organization called <b>Script Revolution</b>. With over 600 members and 1,232 scripts downloaded, creator CJ Walley gives us aspiring screenwriters a chance for success.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Recently, a member had his script optioned. Pete Barry wrote Marian for Sony, which will star Margot Robbie. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Praying I'm next to get optioned. Benjamin Mehr, who owns Grand Production Films in Baltimore, just downloaded my screenplay Put to Bed. Mehr is a member of Script Revolution.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not sure what to make of it. In the unpredictable world of screenwriting, it may lead someplace. It may need nowhere.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When something opens up, I'll create a website exclusively for my movies.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until Next time</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

The transition from book writing to screenwriting has taken an interesting turn.<br />
<br />
Monday, I attended my first-ever Film Festival, the CineFlix Festival, held in D'Iberville, Mississippi.<br />
Actor/Director John Schneider, as part of John Schneider Studios, ran the four-day event of diverse movies and documentaries.<br />
Before I go on, yes that <b>John Schneider</b>, best known as Bo Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard TV series (I didn't bring it up to show my age. Plus, I heard he's grown tired to being referred to the old 80's show).<br />
I mainly used the festival as a learning experience to seek out advice from John about the film business. <br />
At the same time, I met another filmmaker/artist named <b>Trent Dion Soto</b>. I also picked his brain about making films.<br />
Their advice was simple: write and get a film made by someone who's done movies before.<br />
Wish me luck in the next step. <br />

Good morning!<br />
Words can't describe when the Cannes Latitude Film Festival informed me yesterday that my short screenplay, Instant Replay, was selected.<br />
Still, I've got a long way to go. I hadn't reached the semifinal or final stages. But to reach this point, I must've pleased the judges and beat out 300 other people in the event.<br />
Instant Replay, the story of Ryan Walton losing his mother to cancer. His ex-girlfriend Carrie Ann Remick, attends the funeral. They get together and think about reuniting.<br />
What's scarier: since I submitted Instant Replay, I've constantly worked on it. The current version is better than the contest entry.<br />
I'll present both versions to a producer since my foot's now in the door.<br />
<br />

When one can speed read at age three, those things happen. She always knew what buttons to push and kept me in line when I didn't act right.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2TkQcr4IP7U/V5fWS6gF5XI/AAAAAAAABU0/dPGn1VHCHX4YiV8u6gw9lhsT_Ao-f2g8ACLcB/s1600/cherry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2TkQcr4IP7U/V5fWS6gF5XI/AAAAAAAABU0/dPGn1VHCHX4YiV8u6gw9lhsT_Ao-f2g8ACLcB/s200/cherry.jpg" width="161" /></a></div>
No teacher came close during the rest of my days at Cottondale Elementary. My grades were okay, but those teachers couldn't reach me.<br />
Until my junior year at Holt High 30 years ago. Up to that point, I was inconsistent through junior high and two years of high school.<br />
I signed up for a class called Speech Communications, taught by <b>Gail Cates. </b>The year-long class was a mixture of making a newspaper, making speeches, broadcast TV, school, newspaper, advertising and acting. <b></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hz4Q3fs7U04/V5fWVCdbnwI/AAAAAAAABU4/wOJdxtn51gIDNE65hOQtCMW8MjVKMpneACLcB/s1600/cates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hz4Q3fs7U04/V5fWVCdbnwI/AAAAAAAABU4/wOJdxtn51gIDNE65hOQtCMW8MjVKMpneACLcB/s200/cates.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
The year was a turning point for me. I decided to major in journalism. Under Cates, I found out writing was my true passion.<br />
I've won countless awards as a newspaper reporter, written 36 E-Books and four printed books.<br />
I can't imagine my success without the impact these two teachers had on me.<br />
Cherry and Cates each have dedications in my print books, but their value to me is much more. <br />

As a longtime sports journalist, I have always used athletics as a measuring stick in the working world.<br />
Professional boxing, a sport I covered at the Biloxi Sun Herald from 1992 until 2014, is the perfect way to illustrate my successes.<br />
<br />
Here are my levels represented by weight classes:<br />
<b>Lightweight</b><br />
My greatest success as a sports writer. I was a major part of a Pulitzer prize winning newspaper in 2006 for the newspaper's coverage of Hurricane Katrina.<br />
Recently received an Outstanding Sports Supporter award from the Gulfport Sports Hall of Fame, honoring my 25 years of community service.<br />
<b>Welterweight</b><br />
Moved up a division as a successful free-lance writer for magazines Alabama West, Crimson and Black Voices. No awards, but was in demand for two decades (1992-2007).<br />
<b>Junior Middleweight</b><br />
Decided to fulfill my lifelong dream of writing Electronic Books in 2008. Wrote 36 original E-books for three different publications. Fifteen were Top 10 best-sellers at Red Rose Publishing and four Top 10 at ARE.com.<br />
<b>Middleweight</b><br />
Made the transition with four Print books. Still a work in progress.<br />
<b>Light Heavyweight</b><br />
Screenwritng is my greatest challenge. Million-to-one odds of making it as a screenwriter. Sent four screenplays for submission. May take several years to get a break. An empty space on my shelf is reserved for this.<br />
<br />
Happy summer, everyone.<br />

Good afternoon!<br />
It's been almost a week since Prince Rogers Nelson died. Like Prince's multi-million fan-base, I'm still in shock and continue to mourn his passing.<br />
To say Prince had an impact on my life is an understatement. My musical taste began and ended with Prince (despite my mother's wishes).<br />
I was about to get baptized at my church in Tuscaloosa, Ala. As part of the ceremony, I had to learn the <b>Lord's Prayer and the Apostle Creed</b>, two crucial p<br />
ieces of giving your life to Christ.<br />
Somehow, Prince provided assistance. I was listening to the radio one afternoon and they played Prince's <b>Controversy</b>. In the extended version of the song, Prince recited the <b>Lord's Prayer</b>.<br />
My cousin, who was stationed overseas in the Army at the time, sent me and my sister a tape of Prince's Controversy album. I got caught listening to the song and reciting the Lord's Prayer.<br />
It didn't go very well. I'd love to repeat what my mother and grandmother said, but for Political Correctness, I decline.<br />
Several years later, my military cousin got us a bootleg copy of <b>Purple Rain </b>before it was released. The movie and album changed my life. I slipped out one night to attend his concert with some friends in Birmingham months after the release. Seeing Prince live was worth the punishment I later received.<br />
The experience inspired me to help name our high school newspaper <b>The Purple Reign. </b><br />
I didn't like any of Prince's music after Purple Rain, except <b>Adore</b>, mainly because I was chasing this girl at Pre-med (Later becoming the basis for my well-received<b> College Love 101 series</b> at then-Red Rose Publishing).<br />
Rest in Peace, Prince and thanks for the memories.<b></b><br />
<br />

Good morning!<br />
I'm looking forward to Easter week at the end of March. I'm having a Book Signing at <b>WHICH Wich</b> in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on March 26, the day before Easter Sunday.<br />
Since my first E-book was published in 2008, I've always wanted to do a Book Signing. Unfortunately, I lacked a print book to do so. With three books in print available (Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com), the timing's perfect for me to have a signing.<br />
A Book Signing at a Sandwich eatery is unusual, but that's how I roll. I'm different. My writing's different. Researched signings online and saw several authors had theirs at restaurants and coffee shops. Why can't I do the same thing?<br />
My goal is simple. I've got a box full of Books. If I run out, that means it was a success. Just to have a signing in my hometown is awesome.<br />
Thanks for reading/K.T. Bishop<br />

Good morning!<br />
As we turn out the lights on 2015, I'm looking forward to next year.<br />
I'm planning to attend the George Lindsey Film Festival in March at Huntsville, Ala. if one or both of my screenplays make the cutting room.<br />
Haven't checked the full calendar for spring or summer film festivals, but I could make my way at one if I enter a script.<br />
I've all but left the book world and will fully focus on entering the long, tedious journey to becoming a screenwriter. My screenwriting name will be <b>JK Jones, not KT Bishop </b>in the literary world. <br />
From what I've heard, it takes a decade to find success as a screenwriter unless you get a big break. (Hoping to land somewhere in between).<br />
Here's to a Happy New Year and have a great 2016.<br />
<br />

Good evening!<br />
It's Thanksgiving week. I'm sure everyone's either planning a huge Thanksgiving dinner or going out of town to see family and friends.<br />
I'll work the holiday and throughout the weekend, which culminates with the Iron Bowl battle between Alabama and Auburn.<br />
Enjoy the holidays.....<br />

It's been a while since we last talked.<br />
Several things required my attention over the last two months, virtually killing any free time I had for the blog.<br />
Two great things came from my absence: I produced my first two print books- <b>Intentional Grounding and Love Holiday. </b><br />
Grounding is a updated version of my first book<b>,</b> Picking Cotton. Holiday is a collection of four previously released shorts.<b><br /></b><br />
For those who know me, fully understand it was a long-time goal of mine. E-books have been good to me, but I needed a print book to feel like a true author.<br />
Thanks to Melissa Keir, it happened.<br />

detective, she didn't wear a uniform. The form-fitting black pants gave the
impression of a narrow waist, while the tucked in t-shirt clung to her shapely
body perfectly. The leather holster and gun strapped tight around her chest
accentuated her breasts. He noticed that she hunched her shoulders forward
slightly in an attempt to conceal them. Since she came up to his shoulder in
height, he figured she stood approximately five feet, nine inches tall. </span></div>

as though she noticed him for the first time, she turned to face him, her eyes widening
slightly. He could still see the anger burning in them, and waited patiently
for her to vent. She surprised him when she spoke to him with the patience of a
kindergarten teacher, talking to children. The sarcasm only showed in her
simmering gaze.</span></div>

Good evening!<br />
Two of my E-books reached the Top 20 best-seller's among Men's Adventure at Smashwords.com: <b>Curtain Call and Pacific Blue.</b><br />
<b>Curtain Call</b> is ranked 11th in its first day. <b>Pacific Blue</b> sits four spots down at the 15th spot. <br />
Both E-books are available via Splice Publishing.<br />
Here's the blurb and link of each E-book:<br />
<br />
<b>Curtain Call:</b> Actress Melissa Kaye and writer Perry Tiffin had a love-hate
relationship during their time together on the soap opera A Different
Corner. Their hatred often led to hot, passionate sex. At a party to
celebrate the show’s twentieth and final year, Melissa and Perry are
reunited again. Does lust still exist between them after ten years?<br />

<br />
<b>Pacific Blue</b>: Lauralyn Doss and Sebastian Gates are newlyweds who just relocated from
Honolulu to Hollywood, California, but their marriage is off to a rocky
start. Lauralyn is frustrated because she can't find a job, while
Sebastian travels around the world as a backup quarterback with the
NFL's Los Angeles Stars. Will their marriage fall apart before it even
begins? <br />

Money is the first objective to success in the book writing, but landing spot on the rankings will always be second. <br />

Screenwriting has become a fun, addictive exercise for me.<br />
Before I hit the road for vacation last week, I threw several previously-released E-books into the trunk of my car.<br />
No matter where I go out of town, finding the time to write has always been important for me.<br />
I combined elements from an old Rebel Ink Press book, <b>The Search is Over</b>, and an Ex-Red Rose Publishing E-book, <b>A Christmas Reunion</b>, into a short screenplay called <b>Instant Replay.</b><br />
With both books five years old, I made it more presentable.<br />
I kept the two characters from a Christmas Reunion and placed them in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I took the Canadian Football League team, Atlantic Skyhawks, from the Search is Over.<br />
How the other two screenplay submissions fare in the fall will determine which direction I take.<br />
Enjoy the week/KT Bishop.<br />

Good afternoon!<br />
I found the perfect way to get rid of unsold E-Books: converting them into screenplays.<br />
Actually, two of them: <b>Game-breaker and Viva La Paris</b>. I turned the basketball love series into short screenplays and were recently submitted to companies. Game-breaker to a Birmingham company and Viva La Paris to Shore Scripts.<br />
I made the conscious decision to do so because the material in both had the potential for the adventure genre on the large screen.<br />
Only four E-books need homes:<b> Snow Crazy in Love, Out of the Blue, All in the Family and A Different World</b>.<br />
Snow Crazy and Blue are best suited for the E-book world. The other two are inspirational pieces and I'm not sure if there's a market for them. <br />
I'm not sure if any of my 40 previous E-books are materials for screenplays.<br />
Enjoy the rest of May/KT Bishop<br />

Good morning!<br />
I've decided to write my third short screenplay. It took me 10 days to write 43 pages from my adaptation at Splice Publishing, <b>Alabama Gumbo (<a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/486565">https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/486565</a>)</b>. At that pace, I could probably write a full-length movie in a month at 100 pages. <br />
For those who read the E-book, I only made a few changes. It was scary how easy and quickly everything came together. (The company where I'll be sending to, however, may have other ideas).<br />
Originally, I thought writing screenplays would be difficult. It's not as bad as I envisioned. It'd be scary if I actually either had guidance or studied screenwriting in college (I still may pursue a Master's Degree in the screenwriting someday or get a certificate). <br />
I'll submit this one next year, with fingers crossed on two fall entries. <br />
Have a great weekend!<br />
<br />

Good morning!<br />
I'm pleased to announce my latest release at Smashwords.com,<b> Pacific Blues</b>. <br />
The book's timing couldn't be more perfect, because the <b>NFL Draft</b> starts tomorrow and ends on Saturday. <br />
<b>Pacific Blues</b> was originally a three-book short stories in a series called <b>Road to Hawaii: Over the Rainbow, California Dreams and Hawaiian Hangover</b>. I decided to combine all 8,500 word stories into one big E-book and it worked. <br />
<u><b> Blurb:</b></u><br />
Sebastian Gates and Lauralyn Doss, who relocate from Honolulu to Hollywood, California after Sebastian gets drafted by the NFL's Los Angeles Stars. While Sebastian travels around the country, Lauralyn grows restless.Will their marriage end before it begins?<br />
<u><b>Excerpt:</b></u><br />
A wave of nervousness washed over Sebastian. He watched the NFL Draft at his childhood<br />
home in Bessemer, Alabama. A.C. now resided in the charcoal brick house and Cheryl lived<br />
down the street.<br />
Sebastian was surrounded by Lauralyn, A.C., Cheryl and their children in the living room. His heart raced out of control because he took a huge risk. The reason he left Hawaii after two<br />
seasons came down to the first weekend of May. He was unconcerned about neither the round<br />
nor the team.<br />
He attended UCLA's pro day in Los Angeles and had a solid workout. Despite a strong<br />
performance, none of the NFL teams interviewed him. He appeared to be a blip on the league's radar screen.<br />
“Everything will work out,” Lauralyn said positively.<br />
“I'm sorry I put you through this,” Sebastian apologized. He closed his eyes and inhaled<br />
sharply.<br />
Lauralyn's hands kneaded into his shoulders. “We'll be okay. I'll get a job to support us until<br />
you find something.”<br />
“If I've got to work at Wal-Mart or take some odd job, I'll do it,” Sebastian vowed “You're not<br />
carrying me.”<br />
The fourth round began and Sebastian's eyes were glued to the wide screen TV. “Quiet<br />
everyone, the draft's back on,” he said.<br />
ESPN just announced the Los Angeles Stars were on the clock and speculated they'd take<br />
TCU quarterback Luke Sweeney. “They need a player to develop down the road.”<br />
The NFL Deputy Commissioner announced the Stars' selection. “With the pick, the Los<br />
Angeles Stars select Sebastian Gates, quarterback, the University of Hawaii.”<br />
Loud screams fell upon the household and everyone shook Sebastian, who stared in shock at the TV.<br />
“You did it,” Lauralyn said. They shared a passionate kiss.<br />

Good Morning!<br />
The arrival of spring is now considered screenwriting season in my world.<br />
Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Memorial Day are the major holidays that fall in the three-month period when April Showers bring May Flowers.<br />
During this time of year, aspiring filmmakers and screenwriters are polishing up their scripts for various contests around the world.<br />
With that in mind, I've decided to enter two contests this year.<br />
The first one is the <b>Sidewrite Short Screenplay Competition</b> in Birmingham, Ala.. The Aug. 28- 30 competition has entries for a 15-page, original screenplay.<br />
I took one of my unpublished E-books, <b>Winning the Lottery</b> and made it into a screenplay called <b>Game Changer</b>. It's about Dana Rossi who unexpectedly retires from singing to pursue a dream to own an NBA team in her hometown of Birmingham.<br />
The second contest I'm targeting is the <b>George Lindsey UNA Film Festival</b> in Huntsville, Ala. They've got writing entries in the fall. (Yes, the late Goober Pyle from the Andy Griffith Show has a contest for directors and writers).<br />
I made my first E-book, <b>Picking Cotton,</b> into a 60-page screenplay called <b>Nobody's All-American</b>. It's probably my most successful book.<br />
For those who haven't read Picking Cotton, it's about African-American M.L. Cotton chasing a dream to play quarterback at a major college in 1986. Blacks weren't given many chances in those days to play quarterback. Cotton, from the tiny Alabama town of Spanish Fort, is determined to make it happen.<br />
I'm a huge underdog as I compete against experienced screenwriters, but I'll borrow a page from Benjamin Franklin's playbook: "paint a negative outlook and when the results come in your favor, you're pleasantly surprised."<br />

I've always admired Madonna for finding ways to re-invent herself over the past 30 years. In 1984, I was about to enter high school when Madonna told Dick Clark on American Bandstand she wanted "to rule the world." <br />
Since "Borderline," her string of Top 10 hits include "Material Girl," "Like A Virgin," "Express Yourself," "Like a Prayer," and "Papa Don't Preach." Madonna made headlines showing her <b>assets</b> last month on the Oscars' Red Carpet.<br />
With that in mind, I've taken the liberty to re-package some of my earlier E-books. <br />
My first published E-book, <b>How to Cure A Cajun Cold</b>, had a few holes after its 2008 release. I fixed the mistakes, combined its two successful sequels, <b>Catching A Cuban Curveball and Back in Love Again, </b>into one book.<br />
The repackaged E-book is now called <b>Cajun Sugar</b>. For those who purchased the original books, I made a few adjustments to the content, not the characters. Arnaz Booker and Isis Rogers are characters with a wide arrange of emotions.<br />
When Cajun Sugar gets accepted and has a release date, I will let everyone know.<br />
Happy St. Patrick's Day.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Rebel Ink Press Author Joanne Berroa stops by promote her latest release, The
Diamond Legacy, the sequel to her popular: The Diamond Cross, but can also be enjoyed
as a stand-alone romance.</div>
Here's what she had to say: <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BLURB:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The year 1907 finds Heather and Brenton Emery celebrating
seven years of blissful marriage. They are anything but the average couple. The
son of Hungarian immigrants, Brenton owns and manages a thriving, top-notch
Saratoga Springs hotel and vaudeville pavilion with his partner-wife Heather. She’s
an entrepreneur in her own right. Blessed with a keen business sense, she’s
made millions of dollars in her undertakings. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But they soon learn even the best marriages have problems,
and their commitment to each other is sorely tested. A charismatic billionaire
makes Heather an offer she simply can’t refuse. Given the opportunity to spread
her wings thousands of miles away from home, she must choose between marriage
and her career. Her choice stuns Brenton. Will the handsome and brilliant San
Francisco architect Heather joins forces with succeed in rendering the coup de
grace on Heather’s now tenuous marriage?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To further complicate matters, Brenton’s secretary is astute
and alluring. Heather’s plans fit her agenda nicely. Brenton is faced with the
question: How far can a business friendship stretch before it is no longer just
friendship? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Diamond Legacy is a romance saga packed with bold,
colorful characters and surprising twists that will tear at your heartstrings.
Can Brenton’s and Heather’s love for each other rise above all odds and endure,
or is love sometimes not enough?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">EXCERPT:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“Care to comment on this.” He held the papers up for her to see.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“Can’t you read? I’m suing you for divorce.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“You couldn’t tell me yourself. You had to get your lawyer to do it.
You’re a cheat and a coward. I thought I knew you, but I was wrong. You’re an
evil woman. You’re so devious, you probably even caused John’s heart attack.
Did you slip a packet of strychnine into his coffee, little black widow
spider!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
She slapped him hard. “I hate you! You’re pathetic. Your dick is smaller
than my little finger.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“Is it? How would you know, my pretty? You haven’t seen it in a damned
year!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“I’m sure you’ve been showing it off to lots of other women.”</div>

“You should talk. You’ve been sleeping around with that architect and
who knows whom else? Which of your lovers lives here with you, bitch?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
Her eyes shown puzzlement. “What are you talking about?” she snarled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“The men’s clothing in your bedroom! Are you going to deny it?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
Her eyes widened and she relaxed a bit. “No, I’m not. I happen to love
that man.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">

the architect. I swear, bitch, I can’t keep your lovers straight.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
“You’re a pigheaded ass, Brenton Emery. For your information, the man
who’s staying with me is my father.”</div>
