I discovered this raptor in the Fingerlakes region by the side of the road. He must have been hungry, he didn't try to flee, and was quite unimpressed by passing cars. I stopped for the filming, but he got nervous when I opened the door, so I had to twist myself to get some decent video footage. I assure you, it's not AI. I'm not an expert, but would consider this a Red tailed hawk. It's cut short, we kept being interrupted by cars.#redtailhawk #raptor #feeding #rodent #ajalexander

End of March 2026, Upstate NY, and it's snowing. And here I am, thinking, it's spring. Nature keeps surprising us. Happy Soon-April! #almostspring #springsnow #ajalexander #weather #nature

The Unexpectedly Betraying Heart IV

Lucien took care of his business and realized he missed spending time with Melody and Scarlet, too. The worst thing was that he couldn't let anyone know what his feelings were doing. Any emotion would have been seen as weakness, and he couldn't permit that. He was enormously busy for nearly half a year, with everything he had to do, with his different businesses, the leadership problems, the internal arguments, and, of course, he had…

Soul Taker Secrets – Springtime In The Great Hall Kitchen

In six books and numerous blog posts, we read that with the integration of the Archangel's consorts, small but subtle changes have been made in and around the Great Hall, which is the 'Council of Twelve's main meeting spot. Instead of the century-old wooden tables and rustic chairs, seating couches, soft sofas, coffee tables, a fireplace, and side rooms for picnic tables, emergency beds, and paravents have been…

The Charming “Author-Visit-Invitation-Scam”

Picture courtesy of 'Unsplash.com' Sometime last week, I got an email from the Gloversville Bookcrossing, asking me to be their 'Featured Author' this month. After I replied, I got another long, extensive email about the date and the 'media kit' they need, including everything from a quote to a trailer (and if I don't have one, they can create one for me).

Oscars 2026 – A Fashion Post

Welcome to my annual Oscars-Fashion Critics a la AJ. I hurried up to provide you with my fashion critique as early as possible. I will keep the basic frame as last year, but might add a couple of categories. I'd like to start with a few dresses I consider to be listed 'somewhere in the middle' of the list. They're not bad, but they're not great either.

The Unexpectedly Betraying Heart III

After Melody was discharged from the hospital, Lucien took some time off and took them both to Paris. He felt bad that it had taken so long for him to get back to them, and the days in Paris seemed like a dream for all of them. Melody got stronger by the day, and Lucien discovered he enjoyed being with the little girl so much that he carried her all over the place, laughed with her, spoiled her with presents, and at one point, found…
