A good friend of mine Andy Lind has an awesome blog where he writes short stories. Many of them are about romance which for people that know me, romance isn't necessarily my forte. Even though it is about romance *GAG* his writing is very compelling. I still prefer his mysteries though. One of my favorites would have to be "Divorce Dungeon - A Short Story Mystery". I think it was the title that grabbed my attention the most but I really like the PI and his don't care attitude. Its almost as though he doesn't like to work or be bothered, but if a case intrigues him enough then he might try to solve it. He doesn't seem to have a soft spot for the helpless, but wants a case to be interesting or challenging. Then when he solves it, its almost as though he is disappointed and goes back to his don't care/don't disturb me attitude. Here is the link To Andy's blog
The Swell Owl. You can find "Divorce Dungeon in his earlier posts.
So today since I spoke about my Friend I thought I would post his favorite art piece instead of one of my inspirations. Then post my favorite pieces from the artist who painted it. Its easy to see why "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper would be his favorite. Its as if this painting comes to life in some of his short stories. Including the PI from the"Divorce Dungeon".

I too really like "Nighthawks" and had to do an art project with it back in high school. We had to change this famous piece by putting our own spin on it.
