BLOG: Date of the Day

Posted on October 17, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. Here we are at the coffee shop. I missed yesterday, which makes two days this week. The ladies have noticed. I could tell they saw me walking down the promenade with one of my many gentleman callers yesterday. They’re all like, “This girl has so many boyfriendssss, kaaaaa…”...Read More

Tuesday afternoon. Way late in the afternoon. Almost 4:30pm. Off my routine today, if you can’t tell. The reason? I woke up at 7am specifically to call The Publisher. I don’t know why. I just had a feeling from the Universe that I should call him and update him on...Read More

BLOG: Rainy Monday

Monday morning. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day to All My Relations! Here at the coffee stand. There were bananas on the table I like, so they moved them for me to sit down. The people are so nice here. They love that I come here to write every day. I’m happy...Read More

Sunday afternoon. Currently sitting alone at the American Bar having a Bloody Mary and grilled cheese to recover from yesterday. How did it go with the ex-military contractor guys? Oh, about how you’d expect. Something like napalm... Our Bachelor of the Day is a loud, obnoxious American with a family...Read More

Friday morning. Sitting at the coffee stand writing, as I am doing every day. Today I have been going through my binder of notes from my various post-pandemic projects. It includes the blog plan and multiple book and script plans. One of these is Strange Little Town, which is the...Read More

Wednesday morning. Here at the coffee stand, as per usual. Writing the morning away. All of the regulars at this stand know me know. There is one lady who always sits alone looking very sad and weary. She smiled brightly at me when I came in and said hello to...Read More

Saturday night. Here we are, back at the scene of the crime. Part of me is hoping Antony never shows back up here ever again, and the other half of me just wants to throw a drink in his face. I am trying not to think about it. I spent...Read More

BLOG: He’s a Scoundrel and a Rake

Posted on October 3, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. Sitting at the coffee stand, as per usual. Watching the traffic pass by. My brain made the effort to help me forget Antony by bringing up the memory of Andrew while I slept. It was very unpleasant. Neither of us were happy to see each other. I was...Read More

BLOG: Lost in the Labyrinth

Friday night. Sitting in a random Thai cafe alone waiting for dinner. Finally willed myself to get up and go out after feeling semi-depressed today. At least the food in Thailand is always worth it, even if the male company leaves much to be desired. Ugh, I can’t believe that...Read More

Friday afternoon. Did not sleep very well last night, so I slept in late this morning. Now I am at the coffee stand, watching the intersection like I do every day. This is my life now. I live here in Bangkok, Thailand. Crazy how the world works. This really is...Read More
