Brother Love 10 — A Cut
Oh, a good catch for Birdie on seeing Ruth leave! Still, Tammy may be in trouble.
Saturday, July 6, 2019
Dan Antion got a kick out of finding “Jinx” in this antique rug. It reminded me of the recent July Fourth holiday.
Welcome to the crossroads.
To my friends to the north, I hope you had a lovely Canada Day. To those in the USA, I hope you enjoyed the Fourth of July and celebrated our precious freedom.
I appreciate you coming back after my little break last weekend.
Thanks to Dan Antion of No Facilities for letting me use more of his great photos.
The things that drive today’s installment are: Magnolia Leaves from Priscilla Bettis, Earthly Bonds from G. P. Cox, and Spaghetti from Jan Twissel.

Hi there, shieks and shebas. Welcome to Jazz Age Wednesdays. Horsefeathers! Look at that date… June is more than half over, and I still haven’t gotten back to work on finalizing my third Roaring Twenties novel about Pip and Granny.
Magazine cover, circa 1920
Maybe it’s hard to have my head in two different eras at once (meaning the Brother Love serial is set in the late 1950s). Maybe it’s that I’ve had “issues” (I’ve blogged about some) in my new location. Maybe it’s a lot of work for one person to move across the country, and do all the work of settling into an older home. (At this rate it will take me two years.)
Anyhow, I’ll stop beating my gums and get to the point. While I try to get back to the Jazz Age and finalize A Ghost in the…

Welcome back to the crossroads.

This chapter has two things from Dan Antion, who shares his photographs to illustrate Brother Love. Read on to see how I used Bubblegum and Newspaper in this episode.
The third “thing” that is used to drive Chapter 8 is from Fraggle, aka C. J. Hyslop, who is a marvelous photographer. It’s easy to see what a terrific imagination she has at Fraggle’s Other Place. What was Fraggle’s thing? Camera, of course!
I have to give Dan credit for a line in this chapter. In our discussion about the two evangelists who inspired my Doug Armstrong character, Dan talked about something the preacher from his past said about not inviting people to dinner. Keep reading and you’ll see what I mean.

Crows by Dan Antion
Welcome back to the crossroads.
This chapter turned out to be for the birds — or rather for the magpie. If Brother Love was a television series, then this would be the quirky musical episode.
I was already working with music because of the “thing,” Elvis Presley, from Mary J. McCoy-Dressel. That’s when Jinx, the magpie, got in on the act. Then John W. Howell commented about the Buddy Holly song, That’ll Be the Day. Of course that became another “thing.” At that point, I just went completely off the rails. Yes, there’s more punishment — I even narrated the ending with a new sound-bite… That’s supposed to be my scary voice, but whatever.
John specified the Buddy Holly version of That’ll Be the Day. Mr. Holly wrote the song during the general time-frame I’ve given…
