Oh, my what a weekend! I was part of the Spring Scavenger Hunt and my head is spinning. It was so much fun, but I was kept hopping. 🙂 I hope you all had a chance to read the blogs at the 30 stations. Lots of information about your favorite authors. Oh! And I mailed the manuscript to my editor …

A Crazy Court Case
This week my deadline is coming at warp speed. If I keep myself behind the computer, I just might make it! So my post will be short and only include the Mystery answer for last week and this week’s question. 🙂 Here’s last week’s Mystery: It’s 1920 in Camden, New Jersey. Each week a sixty-year-old runner for the Broadway Trust Bank in …
Reader Friday – The Great Divorce
Can you believe I hadn’t read The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis until recently? It was given to me by my good friend and fellow writer, Delores Topliff, for my birthday back in January. Since I was deep into getting Justice Delivered finished (and by this time next week it will sit on my editor’s desk!), I only had time to read in …
Cornfield Sherlock Holmes
We had a little mystery in my neck of the woods this morning as I write this blog. There’s this big yellow ball in the sky. Not sure what it is…someone said it could be the sun, but I’m not sure–it’s been so long since I’ve seen it, I can’t remember what it looks like. 😉 During this rainy season, …
Reader Friday – Stars in the Grass
I’m still working hard to get Justice Delivered in on time! But there is light at the end of the tunnel! I’m 139 pages from going through it and editing the first draft! I think I’ll make it. 🙂 My reading has slowed down since I often work until ten at night, but this past week, I read Stars in the Grass by Ann …
Cigarette Butts and Blood Type
Sunday afternoon I finished the first draft of Justice Delivered. Now, I have 17 days (counting March 1 when the manuscript is due) to edit. Whew. All the time I’m writing a first draft, I keep telling myself: “You can’t edit what you haven’t written.” These next few days will tell if rewriting is easier than writing. 🙂 Now for last week’s …
Reader Friday: The Promise of Breeze Hill
Did you know it was hard to find time to read when you’re finishing a manuscript? I’m a little past 80,000 words and about to type The End… well, not really. I’ve finished the first draft and it’s mostly good words, but now I have 19 days to polish and add another 10,000 words. 🙂 Today I want to tell you …
Luck or Justice? Mystery Question
According to Punxsutawney Phil, we’re in for 6 more weeks of winter. And my question is…just how hard would it have been for someone to hold an umbrella over Phil so he didn’t see his shadow??? And now onto more pressing business…I am at 76,000 words, closing in on the first draft! Yayay!! Now for last week’s Mystery Question: Which blotter …
Reader Friday – Sniper!
This week I read Linda J. White’s book, SNIPER, and I had to make myself put it down so I could get some sleep. Just imagine a sniper in your community killing people randomly. Linda’s husband, Larry, was a video producer/director at the FBI Academy for over 27 years, and he took Linda to the office so she could get a feel for …
