I’m Proud To Announce…


Hello to all of you wonderful followers of my blog.

I have an important announcement.

I’m writing to let you know there is another side to me that you haven’t seen so far. Well, you might have seen it in an obtuse way.

In between creating the stuff that makes up Your Weekly Horror-Scope, I have been spending a lot of my time writing full length mystery novels which are full of plot twists, suspense, interesting characters, and of course a touch of humor.

I have published two books in my “Johnny Sundance Mystery Series”. The first is called, “I Confess To Murder”. It’s now permanently FREE and available at: ronyaroshbooks.com. You can also find it on Amazon, iBook’s, NOOK, Kobo and in other e-book stores. There is a link inside the book offering a FREE informative and humorous publication associated with the series. I just know you’ll love it.

I’ve included my website address above for those of you who might be interested in seeing it and getting a glimpse of the books, some background on me, and a view of my ugly mug.

My second novel is titled, “Where’s Jenny?” It is available on Amazon, iBook’s, NOOK, Kobo and in other e-book stores.

The two current covers are displayed below.

I have two additional books in the editing phase. They should be out in the next few months. I am calling one of them, “Suicide or Murder?” The other is titled, “Murder-Wince-Repeat”.

The star of these books is my character, Private Eye Johnny Sundance who is a Seminole Indian as well as a former FBI Agent and former Chief of Detectives in the fictional town of Eden Palms, Florida.

I hope you will all stop by and take a look at what I’ve been up to. I thank you all for being so supportive of Humorous Interludes over these years. I really appreciate that.

All the best to you.

Ron

P.S.  If you do decide to read any or all of my books, please leave a review. They are the lifeblood of publishing these days, and they are very hard to come by.

Your HORROR – Scope for the week of: Nov 1st, 2015


astrology

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello again, my favorite stargazers, and old geezers.

Halloween has been laid to rest. A new month is upon us.

The holiday season is rapidly making itself known.

Christmas decorations abound.

But, I’m sure that’s not on your minds today.

You’re all anxious to find out what Your HORRO-Scope will reveal this week.

Well, here goes.

This week’s compilation includes Darth Vader, a strainer, and of course, a platypus.

Enjoy…

Aries… Venus is cross sectional at the moment. That’s not a very good sign. In the far future, you will spend many months and lots of money researching and writing a book called, “Picking The Perfect Pickerel”. Only a few fishermen, and Dennis Miller will buy a copy.

Taurus… Mercury is in di-hedral position now, and that’s never good for a Taurus. Someday you will refer to all your meals as, “Yummyliscious”. People will get tired of it, and abandon you. You will be lonely and desperate.

Gemini… The Earth is semi-conductive at the moment. That will bring you trouble. In the far future, you will spend many months, and lots of money, researching and writing a book about Darth Vader or Ralph Nader. In either case it will be a depressing experience.

Cancer… The Moon is in its seventh house now, cleaning up after a wicked Halloween party. The place is a mess. That means trouble for you. In the far future, you will spend many months and lots of money researching and writing a book called, “Using A Strainer Is A No Brainer”. Only a few short order cooks will buy a copy. You will become depressed over it.

Leo… The Sun is intra-tentional at the moment and that’s never good. One day, you will throw buckets of water at the sky when you try to douse St. Elmo’s fire. You will end up in a Psych Ward for observation.

Virgo… Jupiter is in low-quadrinal now against Virgo. That foretells problems for you. In the far future, you will spend many months and lots of money researching and writing a book called, “How To Con A Conversationalist”. Only a few public speakers, and Dennis Miller will buy a copy. You will suffer a bout of depression as a result.

Libra… Uranus is in high-dissemination at this time. That’s always bad for a Libra. One day, your enemies will try to crystalize you. It won’t be a pleasant experience. You will become paranoid as a result.

Scorpio… Saturn is in juxta-tension at this moment. That portends problems for Scorpios. One day in the future, you will wrestle with a rustler. You will lose and get hog-tied. Oh, and some rope burns as well.

Sagittarius… Pluto is in high, dexahedral now. That spells trouble for you. One day in the future, you will devise a writing a class called, “How To Plot Like A Platypus”. Only a few novelists, including Stephen King, will attend. King will shun you afterwards, but use your ideas for a new blockbuster novel. You won’t get a penny out of that. You will become depressed and annoyed over it.

Capricorn… Mars is in tri-luxural position at this time. That’s never a good sign. One day, you will be placed under observation after you continually try to stuff cheese into a Mickey Mouse watch at a Disney Store. It won’t be a happy experience.

Aquarius… The Earth is post-uranal against Aquarius at this time. That’s never good. One evening in the far future, you will become looney during a lunar eclipse. You’ll stuff yourself with moon pies, cluck like a chicken, and waddle like a duck. It won’t end well for you.

Pisces… Uranus is in tri-quadrinal position now against Pisces. That portends problems for you. In the distant future, your enemies will try to fricassee you. It will be painful. Sorry.

And…remember what Weird Al says about astrology in his song, “Your Horoscope For Today”:

“Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true.”

The Fortune Cookie For: Jan 21st, 2015


cookie

Thanks for stopping by Humorous Interludes.

From time to time I will share the “fortune” I find in a fortune cookie I just opened.

I received a large box of them after winning a life changing “contest” I described in this blog on November 4, 2014.

If you are a new reader of, The Fortune Cookie, you should read the fortune cookie story “contest” I just mentioned above. It might make more sense.

Here’s the fortune cookie “thought” for today:

“Poetic license never expires.”

I hope you found it enlightening, or thought provoking, or weird, or whimsical, or funny, or just plain satisfying like a good cup of coffee, tea, or a bottle of fine wine.

As Paul Harvey used to say, “Good day”.

Your HORROR – Scope for the week of: July 6th, 2014


astrology

Hello friends of the future.

Once again we are serving you a plethora of portents.

The charts indicate something unusual and spectacular.

The planets are aligned just right.

We haven’t seen these kind of readings in years.

Hold on to your hats.

Looks like all of you will become famous authors.

So, get your writing instruments ready to go.

We hope you won’t forget us at Horror-Scope Central once you are in the money and living the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

Enjoy…

Aries… Venus is trine with Aries now, but will soon be on its cusp. Apparently, you will be harboring many, many felines. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “Cooking With Hairballs”.

Taurus… Jupiter is aligning with mercury at the moment. There’s a lot of work to do ahead. In the future, you might become rich and famous when you write and produce a horror film called, “The Creeping Underwear”.

Gemini… Saturn is rising now and nearing the cusp of Gemini. We’d like to see the results of this. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “The History of the Future”.

Cancer… Neptune is in retrograde now and doesn’t like it. Get plenty of printer ink. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “How To Recycle Yourself For Fun And Profit”.

Leo… Mars is descending while in retrograde status. Wow, this will be a smelly situation. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “Creative Carcass Carving For Cash”.

Virgo… The Moon is trine with Virgo now. Let there be light. In years to come you will write a bestseller called, “Cooking With Candelabras”.

Libra… The Sun is in opposition to Libra at the moment. Ouch. We can feel your pain. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “Belly Flopping For Fun And Profit”.

Scorpio… Pluto is square with Scorpio now and is delighted. This heavenly idea could make you a millionaire. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “How To Choose The Right Divining Rod”.

Sagittarius… Uranus is rising now and is getting nauseous. We’d like to get a copy of this masterpiece. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “How To Put Sizzle In Your Sidekick Or Dennis Miller”.

Capricorn… This could get depressing. Well to be honest, it will get depressing. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “Self Loathing For Fun And Profit”.

Aquarius… The Sun is square with Aquarius now. Get you sea legs in shape. In the future, you will write a bestseller called, “How To Captain A Ship Of Fools”.

Pisces… Mercury is in its fifth house washing windows. In the not too distant future you will become involved in heavy equipment, prompting you to write a bestseller called, “How To Take The Drudgery Out Of Dredging”.

And, remember what Weird Al says about astrology in his song, “Your Horoscope For Today”:

“Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true.”

Watch Out…”Spammed” Books Are Here


Not only do we have to watch out for spam in our email, book spammers are selling rip-offs of best-sellers on Amazon to innocent book buyers. In a way it’s weird because many of the stolen books were originally published using Amazon’s self-publishing tool, Create Space.

My humble take on this:

There is a bunch of bad spammers,

They are usually mailbox jammers;

But these guys steal books,

They’re out and out crooks,

Let’s hope they all end up in slammers.

Happy Valentine’s Day


Did you know this day was originally called Saint Valentine’s Day? Three people are associated with St. Valentine’s Day. Two of them were martyred in the third century. No one seems to know when the third was put to death. The Catholic Church later made the three of them saints and they are honored on this day.

My research revealed the custom of giving others Valentine’s cards and gifts was started in the Middle Ages. People noticed in mid February, the birds began to find their mates and pair up as birds do. You may get your field glasses and verify this if you like, but please restrict your observations to the birds. I don’t want anyone arrested for voyeurism.

In Chaucer’s (remember him from school? ) Parliament of Foules we find the quote, “For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.” I’m sure you English majors out there use that quote every chance you get.

So the feast day of three martyrs evolved into a day dedicated to lovers. It became a day for writing love letters and sending lovers’ tokens (I didn’t know they had subways back then).Those who gave such gifts to one another usually addressed them as their Valentine.

Since then, this day has become a highly commercialized occasion providing us the opportunity to choose gifts, flowers, cards, balloons, and other items to present to our Valentine. How sweet.
