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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
More Crazy Blotter Reports
Hi everyone! Can you believe this is the last Tuesday in January?? It seems like only yesterday it was New Years Day! I now have thirty days to write 26,718 words…so…breaking that down to writing 6 days a week, I have to write 1068words each day… EXCEPT I need to have those 26,718 words written by February 10th so I …
Greed Will Get You Every Time
I’m always amazed when one of my books ends up somewhere I don’t suspect it will. My sister texted me the photo at the left–her husband takes all kinds of sale magazines and was quite surprised to open one and find my book just below Kate Smith’s CD. I’m in good company! After a week of snow and ice and near-zero temperatures, …
The Perfect Alibi?
Last week was an interesting one here in North Mississippi. On Wednesday and Thursday, the temp rose to 70 degrees. And Friday we received a couple of inches of snow that is still hanging around. I’ve always said, if you don’t like the weather around here, give it twenty-four hours and it’ll change. 🙂 Now for last week’s Mystery Question: The …
Who Did It?
Working hard to finish the first draft of my fourth Cold Case Novel so I can go to see the Greats who have been born in the last two months! The twins, Ryder and Callie, were born on Monday after Thanksgiving and Aliyah was born last Friday! I made Aliyah’s blanket and almost have Ryder’s finished. Then I’ll make Callie one! …
And the winner is…
Things have gotten so crazy at my house, this will be my last original post for 2017…but I’m planning on rerunning one of my favorite blogs next week. Now for last week’s Mystery Question, answer, and winner! Blotter Reports. Three statements are actual blotter reports and one I made up. A Maine police department is warning residents to steer clear of black market …
