And now for this week’s Mystery Question: It’s an evening in 1933 and two couples are playing bridge when two gunmen burst into the home and take the two men captive. Although warned …

Reader Friday – Winter’s Kiss
I have a confession to make. Earlier this month I was reading a fiction book that had been recommended as a good example of writing. It was an excellent example of writing, but it was also very dark and somewhat graphic with the violence. I could not finish it. After years of reading Christian Fiction, I discovered I couldn’t put such a dark …
The Squirrel
Last week I promised a story about the squirrel in the photo. One day, my husband and I were sitting out in the garage with the doors up, and a cat that had taken residence at our house became very interested in something in the corner. When we investigated we found this: It was a little boy squirrel, and evidently, something had …

Crimes from the Past
I finished my edits for Justice Betrayed at 11 p.m. Sunday. They were due Monday. 🙂 I wish I could show you the cover, but my publisher says to wait…I think this is my favorite book. Of course, I say that about every book I write after it’s finished. Set in Memphis, this is my Elvis book, and a sociopath is …
