Weekly Reading Round-Up
It’s been rather a blurry few weeks of boxes and book events, but I managed to sneak in a few books along the way. I was in the Adirondacks for a few days, which meant, naturally, that I had to re-read Julia Spencer- Fleming’s Adirondack-set Clare Fergusson and Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries. Dealing with boxes…

Read MoreCalling All Librarians….
Over the course of my move, I discovered a few things. Whatever you immediately need will be at the bottom of a pile of large boxes of books. Something will fall prey to the relocation gremlins and never be seen again. And ten years of books times multiple editions times audio times foreign translations creates…
Read MoreRT Book Reviews' Seal of Excellence for MOONFLOWER
While I was off-line last week, this happened! The Lure of the Moonflower won RT Book Reviews’ Seal of Excellence! As they put it over there: “Each month the RT editors select one book that is not only compelling, but pushes the boundaries of genre fiction. This book stands out from all the others reviewed…
Read MorePaying It Forward
Times are tough. Books are expensive. And it seems silly to let books sit in a box in a closet when they could be read and enjoyed. Hence the Paying it Forward Give Away. My original plan for the Paying it Forward Give Away was to offer up a few copies of the new books…
Read MoreMoving, Moving, Moving
Apologies for the radio silence recently! I’m in the midst of moving and I’m pretty sure I’ve left my brain in a box. I tend to gauge homes by how many books I’ve written in them. By the calendar, I’ve been in this one three years. By my writing meter, it’s been six books, one…
Read MorePink on NPR!
So many thanks to the folks at NPR (but especially reviewer extraordinaire, Bobbi Dumas) for this lovely farewell to the Pink Carnation series. If you had told me, ten years ago, that the Pink books would be getting this kind of send-off on National Public Radio, I would have snorted coffee up my nose. Of…
