Oh, my! Susan May Warren has done it again. I started reading The Way of the Brave at three in the afternoon and almost decided not to make dinner. Alas, I had people to feed, but rest assured, once the dishes were washed, I was back with my nose stuck in the book! Here’s the back cover copy and then I’ll …
More Crazy Crimes
Here it is the middle of January, and I’ve had my first glimpse of Spring!!! Yay! And I’m still working on the second Natchez Trace Park Ranger book. When I send it in, I’ll share the opening! Now onto last week’s Mystery Question: Below you’ll find four dumb insurance scams. Three actually happened and I made up one. Can you …
Reader Friday ~ Rosanna’s Gift
For my second book review of the year, I’d like to talk about a book that lifted my spirits and I enjoyed to the end! Rosanna’s Gift by Susan Lantz Simpson is set in the Amish community in Southern Maryland, and it’s such an uplifting romance story but even more, it’s the story of a young woman’s desire to give …
Mystery Question for January 14th
Hi everyone! Well, it looks like I have a lot more work to do than I expected on my next book. So….I’ve essentially started over with revisions and racing to beat the clock. 🙂 So, if I don’t answer comments right away, you’ll know why, but I will set aside time to answer all comments at least once a day! …
What I’m Reading Friday ~ Mackinac Island
Oh, my goodness! I loved this story set on Mackinac Island in Michigan. I’ve never been there but this book made me want to visit the island in the summer. Cara Putman did such a good job putting me there that I almost feel like I’ve already visited it. Putman also created two flawed characters who appealed to me. But …
Happy 2020
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that 2020 will be Grreattt! as Tony the Tiger used to say. I never thought I would hear myself say that I like routine, but it’s nice to be back in a routine! With the holidays coming in the middle of the week, Wednesday seemed like Monday, which made …
Last Week’s Answer and Winner~
This will be my last blog post for 2019…I’ll be getting ready for Christmas and working on Crosshairs, the second book in the Natchez Trace park ranger series. Although there is a chance the book will be renamed Obsession. We’ll see. I’d like to take a minute to thank you for reading my blog each week. I love the comments you make …
Reader Friday ~ Acts of Malice
I have discovered a new author…well, that’s not quite true. Let me rephrase that. While I’ve never met her, I’ve known Nike N. Chillemi virtually through the author loops at ACFW for a few years now. And hers is one of the few blogs I read for pleasure. I read a lot of blogs about the craft of writing, but …
Fun Facts Week 3
I love this time of year and often think back to my childhood. Christmas was a magical time, even though we didn’t have much money. In late October the Sears Roebuck Toy Catalogue would arrive in the mail and I would spend time going through it, looking for cap pistols, not dolls even though this photo of my sister and …
Reader Friday ~ Christmas Witness Pursuit
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was quiet, with a few friends in. This time last year, I was in Israel, and I hope one day to return! December is here, and I thought I’d try to do a few Christmas reviews…maybe. 🙂 Lisa Harris mailed me a copy of her latest Love Inspired Suspense and it is …
