April showers bring May flowers and we’ll be talking about some beautiful blooms that don’t require a green thumb.

May 2017 was Mystery Month in This Awful Awesome Life and because there are so many mystery lovers out there, we’re going to declare this May Mystery Month as well.

Orlando Bartro will be exploring one of our greatest mystery writers, but even I don’t know who he’ll select. Linda Cahill will be back to take the mystery out of “What’s for Dinner?”

What will our writing team come up with to celebrate one of the most popular writing genres? You’ll have to wait for our next issue to find out.

See you soon!
