Here it is almost April 1st! Deadline approaches. Guess what? I’m still working on the book that’s due! So I’ll get right to last week’s crime: Three of the following crimes are true. I made up one. Which did I make up? Leave your guess in the comments. An unidentified man, using a shotgun like a club to break a …

Can You Believe It?
Can you believe it’s the first of March??? I can’t. I’m still working on the first book in the Natchez Park Rangers series. With the first draft finished, I’m letting it percolate a bit while I work on 1. My taxes (Can you believe I waited until last week to put five months of checks into my computer???) and 2. …
The Bahamas and Other Things
The Bahamas were fabulous. The photo is of the moon setting in Nassau the first morning out. It looks like the sun, doesn’t it? The next night it was huge as it rose on the horizon and even reddish in color. My iPhone didn’t capture the red that well, but it’s still pretty! As I write this I’ve just returned …
Getting To Know You…
Hi everyone! When you read this I’ll probably be looking for a botanical garden in Nassau. 🙂 But it’s not exactly a vacation…I’m meeting with editors from Hallmark, Harlequin, and Netflix…we’ll see what God has in store… Now for last week’s Mystery Question: Below are four blotter reports.

Quince is also blooming as is a cherry tree in the area. Spring cannot be far behind! Now for last week’s Mystery Question: For …
Happy February!
Hello everyone! I’m baaaaccck…sort of. Before you ask, no the book isn’t finished, but my editor gave me a reprieve and an extension! One day I’ll do a blog post on what you do when your story won’t talk to you. 🙂 I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and you’ve thawed out from last week’s Polar Vortex! …
Happy Thanksgiving Week!
These are probably two of the prettiest trees in my neighborhood! I love the fall colors! Last week was lots of fun for me. I loved hearing from everyone and all the winners’ books are in the mail. And now I have a couple of announcements. I’m taking a few weeks off from the blog because….I’m going to Israel after Thanksgiving! …
Just How Dumb Are Criminals?
Trees are finally turning here in Corinth! This is near my church and one of the prettiest Maple trees in town. I hope you all enjoyed my little exercise last week. When I watched the explanation of the video, I could not believe that I missed, not only the gorilla but the player leaving and the curtain changing colors. I …
How Observant Are You?
This week I’m doing something a little different, but first the answer to last week’s Mystery Question: A man was wanted as a serial killer. He was arrested but after parents of a teenage victim refused to allow her to testify, he was sentenced to only seventeen months for assault. Three of the following statements are true, and one is …
