Did you know it was hard to find time to read when you’re finishing a manuscript? I’m a little past 80,000 words and about to type The End… well, not really. I’ve finished the first draft and it’s mostly good words, but now I have 19 days to polish and add another 10,000 words. 🙂 Today I want to tell you …
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 …
Reader Friday – Sniper!
This week I read Linda J. White’s book, SNIPER, and I had to make myself put it down so I could get some sleep. Just imagine a sniper in your community killing people randomly. Linda’s husband, Larry, was a video producer/director at the FBI Academy for over 27 years, and he took Linda to the office so she could get a feel for …

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, …
Reader Friday–Surgeon’s Choice
This was my week in North Mississippi! Two snows in less than a week. That has to be a record! And to top it off, my central heat stopped working Friday evening…but living in a small town has advantages. The next morning, a repairman was there by ten o’clock and had me going! Thankfully, it was only water that had frozen …
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 …

Welcome back to the first Reader Friday of 2018! This past week I’ve read two books and The Promise by Susan Lantz Simpson is one of them and the one I’m talking about today.

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! …
