When an odd conversation in the family circle, which centred around a rather grisly subject, found me on my phone looking up facts, my brother-in-law mentioned that should my search history ever get looked at by the police it would look pretty suspicious.
To which I replied, “It would anyway.”
What author hasn’t thought this? That were their search history ever to be looked at by law enforcement (or even just someone fairly normal) that the impression might be given that they’re a danger to society?
So, I decided to come clean. I’m going to run a weekly segment where I post a list of everything I searched for that week. I’ll leave off the boring ones, like “amazon full site” but I’ll show you all the others, just for a laugh.
Just don’t call the police on me.
This week’s list of highly suspicious searches:
The Sinner, Classic zombie movies, Why do some zombies move fast and others don’t? Evil Dead movies, Can you make omelette in a microwave?

Line of Duty was a great show. Binged it recently.
My writer group used to laugh about that. I asked once if it was really possible to throw an ax to kill someone? (For a American Revolutionary era book)
