Kiwi cockroaches

This is an extract from the Wanganui chronicle,  New Zealand. The article written by laurel.stowell@wanganuichronicle.co.nz
Reports on the increased numbers of creepy crawlies due to the hot weather...  Less likely here in England (snow, cold etc)

One of the reasons why I fear and hate cockroaches that pushed me into writing 'Phobic Wars "

Wanganui East and Springvale houses are especially likely to have Gisborne cockroaches, which like to live in cracks and crannies and come indoors in winter. They sometimes arrive in junk mail, because it is distributed from a property with a lot of the cockroaches nearby.

People don't like Gisborne cockroaches because they look scary - but they don't spread disease like American cockroaches.

Also on the undesirable list are bedbugs, blood-sucking parasites that move to new places on people, in clothing and in luggage.

SUPER BOWL XLIX: Cockroaches force polar bear prediction

One of the more popular attractions at the North Carolina Zoo has made her prediction for Super Bowl XLIX.

Anana, a 15-year-old polar bear, was given a choice between a paper mache football with the New England Patriots and another sporting the Seattle Seahawks logo.

The footballs were filled with Anana's favorite snack -- cockroaches.

After a few moments of deciding, the polar bear chose the Seahawks.

With tongue in cheek, the zoo said it had no knowledge if the Patriots' football had fewer cockroaches in it or not.

Maybe Anana should have chosen Phobic Wars...  Packed with cockroaches...

4 Stars for the Dentists

🌟🌟🌟🌟 review on Amazon
Mental Dental (Murder by Proxy)

If you hate going to the dentist......
If,like me, you really hate going to the dentist--this mystery of serial killing dentists is just for you--the "accidental" deaths are so over the top that they are really funny.
My only problem with the book is that these amazing dental deaths are never explained--I kept wondering how these murders were achieved.
Story is over the top--but highly entertaining.

Great reading really... Try

Celebrity Endorsement

Dies a retweet from a famous personality constitute Endorsement of a product?
I have had several retweeted entries on my blog and on twitter.

The have included @glenn_hughes,  @TVSanjeev among others.

It's helpful and flattering but is it Endorsement?

Your opinions would be valued.

Millionaires row

Hoping for a big win on the lottery draws tonight in the UK?
Lottery hopes dashed again?
Is there a dark side to being a millionaire?

My inaugural book 'Legally Lucky' addressed this head on.
It is a fictional creation based on many interactions with ordinary people who share the dream, hope and aspirations of a massive change to their bank balance.  A chance to never want for anything and the opportunity to have everything.  This is in the hope that money would be the key to external happiness.

The story twists and turns,  court room scenes, full of highs and lows,  racism and deceit. In the end it is family and friends that are the true treasure.

A great story with a moral message.

You will never regret or forget reading 'Legally Lucky'.
