A few years ago, I strayed away from my historical novels and wrote a few cozy mysteries set in the fictional town of Hidden Springs, Kentucky where, as the picture above says, things are sweet and sentimental as well as a little sinister. After the first one, Murder at the Courthouse, was published, I did a magazine interview about …
No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye. ~Elizabeth Bowen My new book, In the Shadow of the River, came out on May 9th. Some of you even got the book before that date as a few flew out to readers early. Always fun to have a new story out on the shelves to sell and in the hands of people …
Several years ago I did an online Q & A about Animals and Authors. That was before my previous dog, Oscar, died of bone cancer way before I was ready to say goodbye. I hope you like this journey back in time to when Oscar was my best dog and always ready to support my writing efforts. 🙂 Quid Pro …
There are some places you can’t visit anymore, poetry and writings take you there. ~Vaishal sheth I guess I got too sneaky on my last random line. Nobody knew or guessed which book I grabbed it at random. Well, sort of random. I do look for a line that speaks a little of the story. I guess this one didn’t …
I’ve written a lot of books and seen many of them published and sent out into the world of readers. Each new story has a way of sort of pushing the last story a little to the side and the story ten books ago toward the second shelf of memory. I did a Zoom meeting with a fun book club …

This is the last mystery picture for this game, but you can be sure that for weeks now, every picture I take or see, I’ll be assessing it as to whether …
You’ve still got time to enter my giveaway chance to win one of my books. I said the way to enter in my last post was to name one of my books that had a dog or cat character or the name of the dog or cat. Thanks to those of you who have entered. I’ve been a little surprised …
One of the most fun things about being a writer is getting notes, messages and letters from readers. When I had my first book published a long time ago, any message I got from a reader came by mail since that was before internet days. So a reader had to take pen to paper, add a stamp and send the …
“As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.” (Carl Van Vechten) My dog, Oscar might take offense at that quote. Oscar’s a great writing companion, but cats …
