My sister, the author. She never ceases to amaze me, that's for sure.



She arrives in all her splendor...

Well, here it is! Actually, here THEY are.

My sister, a Monticello native and writer for Easy Rider and In the Wind biker magazines, has become a reknown biker personality throughout the United States and Australia.

As contributing author, her story is featured in the newest project of well-known and best-selling author Art Veno (and Edward Winterhalder), Biker Chicks..., as well as a book written by Amy, Wicked Bitch. Both books will be on tour this summer, beginning later this month with numerous appearances in New York City.

The first person in history allowed to be photographed with Elvis Presley's bike collection, Amy and her book have gotten rave reviews from some of the biggest names in publishing and outlaw biker organizations. Her sometimes amusing, often heart-wrenching, and constantly shocking stories are sure to stun and entertain anyone who dares to read it.

The book is available for immediate purchase by clicking here.

Tenth DTF makes arrests

Erratic driving with a child in the vehicle ended in the arrest of two Hot Springs men on drug manufacturing charges Tuesday.

Tenth Drug Task Force Lt. Jason Akers said a traffic stop was made in Drew County “after a lengthy surveillance on the vehicle and its occupants“; the surveillance, Akers said, was the result of the vehicle being seen weaving on the highway.

During the traffic stop, agents learned that an unspecified quantity of ephedrine-based cold pills were inside the vehicle. A subsequent search of the vehicle located four boxes of the ephedrine-based medicine, often used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Akers said the DTF has information the pills were being taken to a location other than Drew Couny to be used in the manufacturing of the illicit drug.

The driver of the vehicle, Charles Lee Hancock, 50, and a passenger, Tommy Smith, 26, were arrested, and each face charges of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia with the intent to manufacture. First appearances for the suspects have not been conducted. A third person was inside the van at the time of the incident, Akers said, but was not arrested. A small child was also inside the vehicle.

My flowers Spring 2009

I'm so proud of these lil boogers. The rain has tormented them....twice I've had to pick them up out of the yard after floods and replant. At least a dozen times more, they have completely flooded and drowned in the flower bed. I was certain they wouldn't bloom.
I snapped these a couple of days ago when the first blooms started appearing...I woke up this morning and have at least 50 gorgeous pink, purple, orange and white flowers, just overlapping each other, and I'm so happy! I could stare at them for hours....lilies are officially my MOST favorite flowers EVER!!
