Sunday Sundae

I’m not a big sweet eater, but I sometimes like to dive into a big, chocolate covered, sprinkles on top,  whip-cream drenched Sundae. I do also like blueberry pie. Hmmm, warm apple pie is great too. Cheesecake is definitely a winner. Okay, so maybe I do like sweet things. 
Anyhow, I began to wonder why we call it a Sundae. Found out the in the 1800’s the religious folks decided that an ice-cream soda was decadent and should not be served on Sundays. An ice-cream soda is chocolate syrup, ice-cream, and club soda. The local ice-cream shop decided it would be less decadent if they removed the soda and just serve ice-cream and chocolate syrup. To make it more holy, they called the concoction a “Sundae” in honor of the day it was served, “Sunday”. 
Seems to me the only thing NOT decadent in an ice-cream soda is the soda, but somehow they got away with it.
 Whew, that was a lot of writing. Think I better go get something sweet to eat. Just Say’n.

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
