Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to wish you a Happy Lunar Year, Happy 2022, and Happy Year of the Tiger! Fun fact: I was born in the year of the tiger and 2022 is the year of the tiger! Granted, every year is special for us all but for tigers especially, 2022 will grant us serenity, courage, bravery, changes in our love lives, and much more prosperity! 

Have a great day, night, afternoon, or evening, DETECTIVES! Stay tuned for next week’s post and until then, keep on sleuthing, DETECTIVES!

Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to announce that I have come up with an amazing new concoction for Valentine’s Day 2022 and alcohol-free, for all us single human beings! No judgment here, people, I promise. I have no pictures yet because I haven’t made it, to be honest, but I hope that this passed-down family recipe (hopefully will be soon enough) that it’s as delicious for you as I anticipate it will be for me! I bet you won’t even miss the liquor! We all deserve to treat ourselves on the national day of love!

Detective Writer Custom V-Day Drink

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

2 servings of berries (of choice: can be cherries, strawberries, blueberries, etc).

1 dash of agave (can be organic or not, up to you)

A pinch of orange juice

2-3 pieces of basil to serve as garnish

4-5 pieces of ice to chill

Shake well, place the ice on top, and cut up your basil and you can even add a lemon or orange slice for even more deco if you wish to be fancy-schmancy with it.

Hey there, DETECTIVES! Happy Holidays! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you that I hope you enjoy and have had tons of fun this Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and much more! All the while, please enjoy this present from me: a short murder mystery riddle! Solve it if you dare…

It’s a dark chilly night.

I’m walking outside, the streets are filled with confetti, streamers

Full of red, blue, orange, yellow, pink, green, and more of the rainbow.

It’s just after midnight, the year has begun anew.

All of a sudden, I walk into a cafe, the aroma filled with freshly made coffee.

I notice everyone is wearing heavy purple coats. 

Suddenly, a man dressed head to toe in black, pulls out a gun

He shoots all around. 

But everyone except me had on a heavy purple coat.

Who was his target?

Why did he shoot in the cafe?

Can you solve this case?

Stay tuned for next week’s post, DETECTIVES! Until then, keep on sleuthing, DETECTIVES!
