The Scribble Pad

Random, self-promoting thoughts by author Roslyn Carrington, aka Simona Taylor

Name:
Location: Trinidad & Tobago

I write literary novels under my real name, Roslyn Carrington, and wayyy too hot Arabesque romance novels under the pen name Simona Taylor. I live in Trinidad with my partner, Rawle, and our toddlers, Riley and Megan. Ah, the pleasures and pressures of being parents to those two! There’s also my full-time Public Relations job, the aquarium full of albino sharks, the dog, the garden, the obsession with cooking (the more fattening the dish, the better), the addiction to the comic art by the likes of Keith Knight and Aaron McGruder, and the chocolate compulsion. I fill whatever time I have left dreaming about romance and writing.

Bad day for babies

Today somebody gave birth to a baby boy and threw it in the trash can on the sidewalk of a major street near where I live. A vagrant fished it out (I guess he decided it wasn't good to eat) and put it on the pavement. People walked up and down, shook their heads, and tut-tutted about who could have done something like that to a poor innocent baby. Nobody picked it up. Didn't want to get involved, I guess.

Somebody finally called the ambulance. Instead of rushing him to hospital, they called the police and hung around until the cops came. By this time, he was already dead.

Somewhere along his nightmarish few hours of life on planet Earth, somebody managed to bash his face in.

And you wonder why I can't sleep.
