Those Extra Seconds
Kate White. Incredibly glam on the outside, incredibly hardworking and authentically talented on the inside, Kate's a real role model for all of us.
Her new thriller The Fiancee is out this week--and whoa, it is a page turner. It's hip and knowing and full of relationships and gaslighting and secrets. And a murder. Or maybe two.
And Kate is also one of the most mindful people I know...though her life is whirlwind, she always has her priorities straight and her focus clear. I always wondered how she did that so beautifully.
Today dear Reds and Readers, she reveals one of her secrets. Hmm. Would this work for you?
Those Extra Seconds
By Kate White
What a crazy time, right? The pandemic was so hard, but coming out of it seems hard, too--though in a whole different way. At moments I'm joyful, relieved, raring to go, and thrilled I can celebrate the release of my new suspense novel, The Fiancée, in person with friends, and even head in August to the Bouchercon Mystery Conference in New Orleans.
And yet then, only a short time later, I'll feel oddly unsettled, worried that I jumped into something too fast and not sure at all what I should be doing.
Have you been riding a similar roller coaster these days?
As odd as it sounds, I've been aided during this time by a great piece of wisdom I learned over a decade ago from a West Coast police officer I interviewed for my work—and perhaps you'll find her wisdom helpful, too.
This woman specialized in crisis intervention, and her job involved handling many harrowing situations, such as dealing with people standing on ledges and threatening to jump to their deaths. I asked her back then to share some of the strategies she found most effective in her job.
What she told me was fascinating, and one tactic in particular has always stayed with me.
In any kind of crisis situation, she said, we often have a bit more time than we realize to decide on the right course of action--not a lot of time, but at least a few more seconds. In the stress of the moment, however, our urge to act quickly sometimes discourages us from taking those extra seconds and as a result we end making a poor choice.
Over time, this police officer trained herself to always take those extra seconds and use them to her advantage. She'd step back and ask herself if her first instinct was the right one or whether there might be a smarter way to handle the situation.
I don't generally incorporate a lot from my crime writing into my personal life (I swear I've never done anything with all the info I've gathered about how to poison someone and not get caught!), but this particular lesson is really helping me as I venture out into the world again. I'm hardly in crisis, but it's a tricky and uncertain time, so it's been beneficial to step back, wait a bit, and ask some questions before jumping into anything. Questions such as, "Is this really going to be worthwhile?" "Is there a better choice for me right now? "Will following this course of action be a way of expressing some of the good things I learned during the many months in hibernation?"
Taking those extra seconds has helped me be clearer about what I want to say yes to in the next part of my life--and what I finally want to let go of (kind of a Covid Cleanse!)
What do you think? Could the strategy be beneficial for you, too?
HANK: Great question! What do you think, you all? Even...those three seconds before you hit "send" on an email? Or say something you might regret? Have you had a moment where you were happy you waited?
A riveting standalone thriller, set on a bucolic estate, about a captivating young woman who joins a family and threatens to upend their picture-perfect lives.
Summer's looking forward to a break from hustling for acting work in Manhattan when she, her husband Gabe, and Gabe's nine-year-old son come to rural Pennsylvania for the annual family get-together at her in-laws' sprawling estate. The reunion sounds like the perfect escape, until Gabe's younger brother Nick shows up with his new flame Hannah, who's an actress as well.
Summer immediately recognizes Hannah from a showcase they once did together, but, strangely, Hannah claims not to know her—and that's not the only thing that seems off. As Hannah charms the other family members, and Nick announces that he's proposed to her, Summer doesn't have much choice but to grit her teeth and bear it.
Not long after guests arrive, the reunion is rocked by tragedy–a family member is found dead.
Doctors attribute the loss to natural causes, but a grieving Summer soon becomes convinced there's been foul play and that the too-good-to-be-true Hannah is involved. Though Summer tries to make Gabe and the others see the light, they keep ignoring her suspicions.
How far will Summer go to expose the truth? As she investigates just what Nick's fiancée might have done to keep her perfect image intact, she begins to fear that the first death may only be the beginning…
Kate White is the New York Times bestselling author of fifteen novels of suspense: seven standalone psychological thrillers, including Have You Seen Me? (an Amazon Editors' mystery and thriller pick for 2020), as well as eight Bailey Weggins mysteries.
Her next suspense novel, The Fiancée, was published on June 29, 2021.
For fourteen years Kate served as the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, and though she loved the job (and all the freebies to be found in the Cosmo beauty closet), she decided to leave eight years ago to concentrate full-time on being a suspense author.
Her first mystery, Even If It Kills Her, was a Kelly Ripa Book Club pick and #1 bestseller on Amazon. She has been published in countries around the world. Her most recent Bailey Weggins mystery, Such a Perfect Wife, was nominated for an International Thriller Writers Award.
Kate is a frequent speaker at libraries and conferences and loves to share her journey from magazine editor to suspense novelist in a talk called "On Becoming an Author: Forging a New Creative Path and Finding Winning Ideas All Around You."
She is also the editor of the Mystery Writers of America Cookbook, a collection of recipes from the field's top-selling authors. In addition to writing mysteries and thrillers, Kate is the author of several bestselling career books, including The Gutsy Girl Handbook: Your Manifesto for Success, as well as I Shouldn't Be Telling You This: How to Ask for the Money, Snag the Promotion, and Create the Career You Deserve, and Why Good Girls Don't Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do.
She divides her time now between New York City and Las Flores, Uruguay.

Your new book sounds quite intriguing, Kate . . . I'm definitely looking forward to reading it and finding out what's making Hannah behave so mysteriously.ReplyDelete
I feel as if I get myself in a fix [or come to regret] if I don't think before I act or speak or write or . . . . Taking a few seconds to consider is definitely a smart idea.Replies
Take a deep breath and then think. Good advice I need to remember in my life.ReplyDelete
And your new book sounds fantastic. Congrats!Replies
thanks so much Mary!Delete
What great advice from that officer. I have a Quaker characters who frequently takes those few seconds. Do I? Possibly not, but it's a good idea.ReplyDelete
The new book sounds fascinating!Replies
Thanks Edith, I hope you will give it a tryDelete
I need to have this advice written on sticky notes all over my house and car and...well...LIFE. Is that possible? So many times I wish I had waited those few seconds. And when I have, I've never regretted it.ReplyDelete
And the new book sounds fabulous!Replies
ha, yes, I'm going to put it on a post-it too.!!Delete
Welcome Kate--the new book sounds like perfect summer reading! And I love the advice and use it, asking myself 'do you need to do that right now?' I'm wondering whether you miss writing a series??ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you, Lucy. And yes, I do miss writing a series. But publishers seem to want stand alones now. Would love your thoughts on thisDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Oh yes, I have definitely had moments where I am glad that I waited on sending an email out. Nothing I care to go into or anything but definitely glad I didn't send out the message.ReplyDelete
Those kinds of moments are usually few and far between as I don't tend to send out anything I don't mean to and I don't usually write messages in the moments of rage that might inspire one.
Given that I tend to have a volcanic temper when I truly get angry, I've made it a practice to try and stay as even keeled as possible for more than a few years now. Not that I don't get stressed but I try not to let as much stuff get through to damage my calm. It is one of the reasons I tend not to get involved in many things anymore. Joining with others invariably leads to schisms if I don't agree with every single point of whatever a group is currently complaining about.
I'd rather just go on about my day, staying out of others way and trying not to to screw over others along the way.Replies
Literally just wrote "Is this worthwhile? Is there a better choice? Is this me?" on a Post-It and stuck it up above my laptop. Thanks for the great advice (I wish we could thank that police officer, too) -- now I just have to live it ;)ReplyDelete
Looking forward to your new book!Replies
What a great idea! Love that.Delete
One of the things I've learned, especially when sending an email is to let is sit a day or two. You won't regret it.ReplyDelete
Also walking away and then coming back to it, saves as well.Replies
It's so funny what a difference that can make. What we do in the heat of annoyance or frustration or disagreement – – it's quite incredible how the urgency diminishes so quickly.Delete
What fabulous advice! Yes, those few seconds can often make the difference between regret and contentment. The Fiancée sounds fabulous. Looking forward to curling up with it on a summer day.ReplyDeleteReplies
Congratulations on your new release! On my summer TBR pile.ReplyDelete
I had a moment when I hit pause: an April snow storm weighted down a massive red bud tree limb in full bloom, the limb partially split from the main trunk. But it's still alive. After intense discussion, I agreed to keep the limb if it could be lifted off the fence. My husband achieved temporary success propping it on a large flower pot. A friend had a similar situation and suggested a large chain. I anticipate a tree chaining event this weekend. Achievable or a failed MacGyver?Replies
One of our trees has a chain made of plastic holding a limb up. Maybe that would work?Delete
Tree chains are a thing! Thanks for the tip. I had wondered about using heavy gauge metal chain. What you have sounds like a super zip tie, which makes perfect sense. Can't wait to use it in a future plot.Delete
Neighbors have used kite string on their smaller trees. Lindenwood College has put wooden props under their Crooked Tree . . . looking for a photo, I see they've replace the wood with metal, and the tree still lives.Delete
You are hilarious Margaret!Delete
Congratulations on your new release!ReplyDelete
Definitely wait three seconds before hitting SEND, and do not put the name in the TO field until you ARE ready to send. That tip has helped me avoid disastrous consequences a few times. Phew!Replies
Oh! I do that too… How interesting! Isn't that funny what a difference it makes ? It forces you to think, doesn't it!Delete
Kate, welcome to JRW and congratulations on the release of your new book. I heard the first chapter of The Fiancee on FCF and was immediately hooked. For anyone who wants to hear it, I'm sure Hank can post the link.ReplyDelete
It's funny how one piece of sound advice can be life changing. The advice that changed my life also came in a short, sweet statement 41 years ago. I like yours and surely I was ready for a second life changing pearl.Replies
Congratulations for The Fiancée, Kate ! I'm looking forward to read it.ReplyDelete
After wounding someone with words in my teens, I learned to take those few seconds before saying too much. I also take them before accepting something or buying something. A very useful advice.Replies
Oh my gosh, that is so sad. I am so sorry you had to go through that… and yes, the pause before buying something! I can never remember my PayPal password, and that has saved me a lot of money :-)Delete
YES! Most definitely. "Is this really going to be worthwhile?" "Is there a better choice for me right now? " I should tattoo something on my forehead as a reminder to TAKE A BEAT. I make snap decisions and often need to pause a few beats. Or more. LOVELY to see yu, Kate - wishing you huge mega-success with THE FIANCEE - going to download it this very second.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hallie, using a couple seconds to think about a tattoo on your forehead seems a good idea, maybe.Delete
Ha ha ha!!!! No kidding, Karen.Delete
TRUE, Karen!!Delete
Hallie, I would sooooo love to be riding on a train next to you right now and gabbing up a storm. I didn't wait ten seconds before saying that!Delete
When things go haywire - computer things usually - I tend to freak out. When what I should do is take a deep breath and THINK. Not all that easy for me. Recently it was my refrigerator and this time I kept saying to myself "I will not panic." I considered the worst case scenario and the several options I had - all fairly doable. Rather than running around like a chicken with its head cut off - have you ever seen that? - it really does help to back up a bit and take a little time to consider things (before going out and buying a brand new refrigerator.)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, the panic element is truly destructive. I try to think--what is the very hideous worst that could happen? Well, okay, I could deal with that. And then step by step.Delete
I have to share one little story. Once years ago, my daughter, age 5, was bitten by accident by our dog. What followed: ER, plastic surgeon, stitches, so much turmoil. Later that night I sat on her bed and told her how proud I was of her and asked if I could have done anything to make it easier. She sweetly said, "No, mommy, you were great, but maybe next time just don't yell, "SHE'S GONNA NEED STITCHES."Delete
What great advice, and I can see a few times in my life where a single second mattered greatly, for good or bad.ReplyDelete
Kate, The Fiancee sounds like a great read. Looking forward to it.Replies
thank you Karen. I'm going to try to take my own advice this summer!Delete
Kate, what a pleasure to see you here on Jungle Reds. I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but this is huge for me because I had been a big fan of the Bailey Weggins series and had somehow had it in my mind that it ended back in 2012. What a delight it was for me this morning to realize there are two new-to-me books in this series! And of course, The Fiancee sounds thrilling, too.ReplyDelete
I may lean a bit into overthinker territory, so I rarely fire off the email or jump to the first action that comes to mind. But I have been trying to help my hotheaded young adult son learn this skill!Replies
That would be a good gift to him, Susan!Delete
Oh, Susan, thank you my dear, but the new book is not a Bailey Weggins. So sorry. but two caveats. There have been several Bailey books since 2012, including Such a Pretty Wife and Even If It Kills Her, and though The Fiancée is a stand alone, I think the main character, Summer, has some of that Bailey spunk. I think you would like.Delete
Sorry I wasn't clear, Kate -- I knew The Fiancee was a standalone. But when you mentioned the Bailey series in relatively present terms I went out to your website, and that's where I found that there were two new ones I hadn't read. So much to look forward to!Delete
thanks for clarifying Susan. I would soooo love to do another Bailey. Hard to get her out of my headDelete
I was recently discussing with my niece those moments of self-correction mid-sentence, changing course to be more positive, an important teacher skill, as we want to build up and encourage, even in less wonderful situations. Now I'm thinking of instances of shocked silence as a gift of sorts, silence can speak in the interval of deciding if there's anything constructive to say . . . and sometimes there isn't.ReplyDeleteReplies
Taking small steps back into the world. Lunch with a friend at a very uncrowded restaurant yesterday was a delight.ReplyDeleteReplies
Congrats on your latest, Kate! I can't wait to read The Fiancee! It's funny you should post this blog because as my sons are navigating the big life choices (college majors), the Hub and I have been advising them to "take a beat" and consider things before going all in on the idea of the day :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh Jenn, that's another great way to put it. Take that beat. Hard to convince college kids to do that!!Delete
Congratulations on the book, Kate! It sounds like the perfect summer read. And I love the advice. Making sticky note now!ReplyDeleteReplies
thanks Deborah!!!Delete
I've managed to learn over the years to take my time before deciding whether to take the plunge. This applies mainly to shopping. And when I had the opportunity to commit to buying a house after the owner reduced the price I was able to walk away without regrets. I still think about the changes I would have made, but some things cannot be fixed. Fond daydreaming but no regrets. I'm afraid that some of this stepping back to think turns into making no decision at all. Inaction is not always a decision but a delaying tactic. Your book sounds fabulous, Kate! My husband and I were just talking about gaslighting the other day. I wish I could remember what show we were watching that brought it on!ReplyDeleteReplies
Kate, welcome to Jungle Reds and congratulations on your new standalone novel! I remember meeting you at Malice Domestic in 2016.ReplyDelete
Yes, I have reviewed what I write before sending the email. I learned a valuable lesson from my summer internship years ago when we got a group email. Unfortunately, I thought I was responding to the sender from another office down the hall and ALL OF THE OFFICES got my email. Everyone said "I got your email". Luckily, I did not say anything incriminating. Now I can laugh about it.
I love the suggestion to take a few seconds, and I HAVE done that and it HAS saved me. I learned it when traveling in the pre-cellphone days, when you had to collect information, departure times, maps, etc. and couldn't look things up on your handy pocket computer. There were several times when taking a beat, checking, and then double checking kept me from getting on the wrong train or from continuing in the wrong direction. (Which make a corollary: trust your instincts. If this doesn't feel like the way to the Uffizi, it may not be.)ReplyDeleteReplies

Little Lotte (1994)
by Carrie Hernandez
from Angel of Music: Tales of the Phantom of the Opera, 2005
I love fairy tales, as anyone who spends any time around me can tell you, and this is a sweet and full-fleshed one, wearing the clothes of Christianity over its bones like something out of a Brothers Grimm collection but with less random mutilation.
After a rash of dealing with creators setting the time period all willy-nilly everywhere they pleased, it was a real breath of fresh air to see that Hernandez had set Christine's age at eight years old in 1869, making her about twenty or twenty-one in Leroux's novel. Hernandez's writing style is a little bit dry here, but it's very reminiscent of Leroux's reporting-style writing. The fairy tale conceit could have used a little more flowery style, maybe, but it works well as it is.
This little prologue illustrates the childhood meeting of Christine and Raoul, from the moment that he rescues her scarf from the sea and becomes a temporary part of their little family. Interestingly, while I normally see the scarf portrayed as red (possibly to make it more visible in stage productions, or just because it's a portentous color), Christine chooses a white scarf here to represent the angel she's so fond of hearing stories about. Raoul's plunge into the sea is adorable and terribly disconcerting for his chaperone, and his arrogance is just childish enough to be endearing instead of grating, especially when Christine's good nature smooths it out of him in fairly short order.
Raoul is referred to here as both the "Viscount Raoul" and as "Monsieur le Vicompte". Alas, the general confusion over whether to use Raoul's native French title or an English equivalent never seems to go out of fashion in Phantom literature.
The Story of Little Lotte
The bulk of the short story is a tale-within-a-tale conceit with Papa Daaé spending some time telling Christine and Raoul a story about the Angel of Music while Raoul's clothes are being dried and his chaperone is being decorously embarrassed about the whole thing. There's quite a lot of direct or almost-direct quoting from Leroux's text going on, but Hernandez integrates it deftly into her own text in a way that is seamless and story-serving.
The fairy tale itself is charming, a rustic, almost animist sort of a story in keeping with Daaé's preference (mused upon in his internal monologue but not too often acted upon for Christine's sake) for the open road and the joys of the wilderness. The story itself, which concerns a little girl visited by the Angel of Music and directed to perform several tasks for it in order to prove herself worthy to receive the gift of true musical talent, is clearly written by a musician; not only are all the tasks musical in nature (and, again, usually concerned with the music of the wilds and nature rather than man-made sounds), but the story's action frequently includes elements of interpretation, percussion, spirituality, fugue, and counterpoint even when music is not expressly involved. It's all very well-done, and eminently appropriate to instill the sort of dreamy, devout naïveté that Christine is so well-known for in later life.
The story ends with Raoul being dressed by his chaperone and reluctantly herded back off, but the children have already formed a close friendship and it is made clear that they will continue to see one another for the remainder of the summer.
As a stand-alone story, it manages to hold its head high, but this little tale really shines when it's set as a prologue to Leroux's novel; the childhood romance between Raoul and Christine is set up beautifully and believably, and it lends perspective to Christine's devout beliefs later when the reader may need a little bit of help to swallow her unquestioning devotion. All in all, it's a lovely little piece.

Communication is an important factor in the rehabilitation, and educational programs for the hearing and sight impaired. The sight impaired can speak but cannot read and write in the same way as the sighted. The hearing impaired, because they cannot hear, finds it difficult to speak.
The problem of communication has been overcome to a certain extent with Braille for the sight impaired and Sign language for the hearing impaired.
The services of the Audiology Centre situated at the School for the Deaf are made available to the hearing impaired. This service is made use of by ENT surgeons for diagnostic purposes. Patients are referred daily to the clinic on weekdays by ENT surgeons, General practitioners, Medical Clinics etc. A very reasonable fee is charged from the patients.
Braille, a tactile language in which people read with their fingers, uses a combination of six raised dots to represent the alphabet, numerals and other signs. This system has been adapted for both Sinhala and Tamil, the two vernacular languages. All the visually impaired students use Braille for written communication.
Sign language is the natural language used by the hearing impaired to communicate. Sign Language consists of a variety of signals given by either one or both hands and/or body movements to express words, ideas and feelings. Although there are regional variations, sign language can be understood by the hearing impaired all over the world.
Sign language has it's limitations; it cannot be used to communicate with the general public or to understand text based information. For this reason the hearing impaired are taught to read and write one of the National Languages, Sinhala or Tamil, even though they cannot speak it coherently.

Patience pays off at Turfway for Creed, Western Prospector
The sharp form and early speed of Western Prospector contributed to him being made the second favorite in Saturday's $50,000 Holiday Cheer Stakes at Turfway Park. But it was the patience of his rider, Ben Creed, that likely resulted in Western Prospector winning the race.
Although most of Western Prospector's better races had come on the lead, Creed wisely sat chilly on Western Prospector in the early stages of the six-furlong Holiday Cheer, allowing longshot Silver Summation to go to the front and avoiding a speed duel.
Sitting about 1 1/2 lengths off the leader, Creed rode Western Prospector with confidence, even after the horse briefly fell back into fourth and was carried wide by Silver Summation on the turn.
Once in the stretch, soon after making the lead with a half-mile in 46.38 seconds, Western Prospector displayed his superiority. He pulled clear under mild urging, registering a 1 1/4-length win over River Bear, who had rallied to contend from just off the pace. The 3-2 favorite Tend, wide throughout, rallied belatedly for third, a head behind the runner-up.
Western Prospector, a 5-year-old son of West Acre owned by Chalee Inc. and trained by Randy Matthews, recorded his first stakes victory in the Holiday Cheer. He raced six furlongs on Polytrack in 1:10.58 and paid $7.80.

After a steady, five-year decline, the Canadian vending industry is expected to spend the next half-decade bouncing back. A report published by the GlobeAdvisor.com predicts an annual revenue growth of nearly 2 percent through 2018, with the industry enjoying options that go far beyond the standard soda and snacks found in traditional vending machines. That makes Canada a prime location for investing in the business, especially for those with an eye for innovation and industry trends.
The 1.9 annual revenue growth expected through 2018 will easily offset the annual 1.5 percent decline the industry saw from 2008 to 2013. Additional figures from market researcher IBIS World have the Canadian vending industry slated to bring in an estimated annual $715.8 million by 2018.
The growth will be fueled by vending machines that match consumer trends as well as their expectations. And people expect a lot from the modern vending machine. Consumers today are looking for vending to have a greater variety of choice said Mike Masse, president of food services at Compass Group Canada.
Additional trends the industry can embrace include healthier product choices and a variety of ways to pay. A number of Canadian machines already in operation not only offer healthier products, but they also display nutritional information and take payments via credit cards or cell phones.
With the Canadian vending industry poised to explode, keen investors can reap the benefits. The keenest will opt for machines that offer a variety of healthy product options along with a variety of payment methods. A number of vending machines on the market can provide those options, and more, with features that include refrigerated and frozen sections in a single machine, vast product capacities and high-end technology to meet the demands of the modern consumer.

MemoriesIn the evenings he shows me
What be parlayed the hopes of
The young man into: Niagara pillows,
Shells from Waikiki, cocoanut faces
from Miami Beach, a pennant from Six Flags
And slides,
That slide me from my personal
Boredom into the national one.
The salable remnants of Georgian Colonial
Days, of Williamsburg, Greenfield Village,
Valley Forge, when people were as neat as
Bricks and knew their place.
Among his memories of a nation's memories,
All captured now on Kodachrome or in the
Gloss of National Geographics, be sighs,
And I can almost understand the life-span
Markers he uses in place of the bloodless
Chronology that years and hours make,
As imagination drains away and
Memories crowd in to fill the void.
