What are you reading this week? After I typed that, I realized I should challenge everyone to read at least one book each week! Lately, that’s what I’ve been able to do. Last week I read Mississippi’s own Stephenia H. McGee’s In His Eyes. Stephenia lives just outside Jackson, Mississippi and her book is set a few miles north in Greenville, during Reconstruction …

What’s Your Fave Genre?
I drove to Chattanooga this past weekend and while a lot of people don’t like traveling alone, I actually enjoy it. It gives me time to think, pray for those on my lists, and just let my mind wander. And it wandered to the different types of books I’ve been reading. I’m basically a mystery/suspense/romantic suspense reader, but lately, I’ve …
What Are You Reading Friday?
It’s What are you reading Friday and this week I’m reviewing a book I finished earlier this month: Murder Mezzo Forte by Donn Taylor. Here’s the back cover blurb: He is a reclusive history professor with musical hallucinations, she a headstrong professor of religion. Earlier, they solved a campus murder, but now police say they formed two-thirds of an illicit …

Excuses, Excuses
I’ve always said everyone should own rental property in their lifetime. “Why?” might you ask. For one thing, you’ll have stories to write a blog about, and another, you wouldn’t believe the excuses people come up with when they don’t have the rent. More on the last one later, but first a story. One of the houses we once rented out was …
What Are You Reading?
This is the first of my book review blogs and I wanted to start out with a Southern mystery. Mary Ellis is well-known for her Amish fiction and historical romance. You can learn more about her at her website. I loved the setting of Savannah, Georgia, and Tybee Island, places I’ve always wanted to visit. The fact that everyone there has secrets …
Research in a Cemetery
This past weekend I went to a cemetery. Not just any old cemetery, but one in the heart of downtown Memphis. Elmwood Cemetery, eighty acres of beautiful old trees, and isn’t that a beautiful old white oak? It’s the oldest active cemetery in Memphis and was the burial place of over 1400 people who died in the Yellow Fever epidemic in …
E-book or Print?
Did you know the Kindle turns ten years old this year? After I read this, I tried to remember when I got my first Kindle and realize I don’t have to wonder–I can check my Amazon account. As an aside, is Amazon smart or what? Pre-Kindle I didn’t have an Amazon account, but I opened one as soon as I …
