Good guess, Mitchell. I'd say nearly all of my fiction stems from a found photo. This one began with the black and white photo of an old car parked by the curb in the dark. ( Part 1) At the time, I only knew that Marla had to get away and it was a little bleak. THEN unpredictably, Haylene drove into the scene in her 1979 Camaro and all hell broke loose - life in vivid color-rama! The women bonded and a partnership was formed. I have no idea where they will take us next, but I am having fun finding out. ( Great name switch, by the way! That would work, too!) Thank you for reading my tales, Mitchell.

Marla and Haylene! What a pair. I think they will learn a lot from each other, don't you? I just hope they stay out of jail.

June 17 / You were right. They did okay up until Part 5...

It's fun to take a ride in the yellow Camaro again! I'll bet it would be a lot of fun to hang out with ol' Haylene.

I would love to write another chapter for this story, but damned if I know what those two get up to. I am guessing it might have something to do with a good-looking alligator wrestler they meet in Boca Raton... But, hell, Jim, , YOU are the Floridian. YOU should write a chapter!!

Think about it! I'll do chapter two and maybe you do chapter three. Might be fun.

That would be fun! I need a couple more days to finish something I've been working on, then I'll email you to discuss it. Thanks Sharron.

Loved this story. Marla's life has just improved.

I 'd like to be in that back seat, I will tell you! I think Marla will be happy ANYWHERE as long as her dad is no where in the picture.

Oh Aretha! And these two ladies are worth following all over FL to NOLA! Great start to a saga, Sharron.

Aww. Thanks so much, Sue, for poking around in the Archive. I think there are six or seven adventures with Haylene and Marla in there. Alway good if you need a laugh.
