I moved to Kansas. The timing could have been better, but
there was no way to know in January that in two short months, my husband and I
would be locked down under mandatory stay-at-home orders in a new home
hundreds of miles away from everyone we knew.
We moved to Kansas because my husband was transferred for
work. I had been looking forward to a new adventure in a new state and, while I
was reluctant to leave my job and friends in Georgia, we had enjoyed our time
down south and expected to have a lots of fun exploring Kansas. Then covid-19
happened. Now I not only have no job and no friends, but I’m not supposed to
leave the house to find any. One would think that I’d have lots of time for
writing, but it’s been hard concentrating. I've heard that a lot of people are having the same problem during this pandemic crisis.
Okay, I’ll stop whining now. Here are some advantages of
Kansas:
-
The population density is low and the state’s
number of covid virus cases is equally low.
-
My friends back in Georgia and up in Illinois
are all willing to do video chats with me now since they’re all stuck in their
houses, too.
-
There have been Bigfoot sightings in Kansas,
which means one of my future Bigfoot books can be located here.
-
There are also elk here, which means Piper can
continue to ride elk to scrub the bodies of dead Bigfoot in my future books. If
you don’t know what I’m talking about, read Bigfoot CSI to catch up.
-
The weather here is colder and windier than it
was in Georgia, but it’s not as bad as Chicago.
-
The people here are SO nice!
-
You can see forever across these wide-open
plains.
There are lots
of new sights to explore, like Dodge City and the Flint Hills. We’ve already
checked out Mushroom Rock, which was awesome! Can you tell why it’s called
Mushroom Rock?
Well,
back to work. Book 2 in the Bigfoot Flashfire Series won’t edit itself. Stay
safe out there! Stop touching your face.
