I started with a true incident: the basement at the townhouse I first lived in in Okemos always smelled like weed. I suspected the neighbors of hotboxing. My laundry left to dry down there ended up smelling like skunk. The odor wafted up to my second-floor room. It was the kind of smell that was pervasive.

The lease contract stipulated no smoking allowed.

Anyway, that’s where the idea started and then went from there. Remnants of the pandemic remain in my psyche and that also makes an appearance—just a mention, because the family of the main grandmother character is all discombobulated and off balance. They need to get centered and grandma comes to help.

In more ways than one.. Excitement and humor ensues. Check it out! Rock and a Hard Place
