    Readers are great! Authors wouldn't exist without them. One of my mothers (I've had a few) is a retired librarian. She's in Oregon now, but we still visit each other.
    You sound like a great reader. If I am lucky, you will read my second novel, that my editors told me is really a funny (wisecracking) PI mystery. The trouble is that it is not due out from the publisher for at least a year. On the other hand, my debut novel is on the street, and several reviewers have remarked on the humor in a positive way.

    Right now I'm working on a paranormal romance but am fascinated by mysteries and crime stories both fiction and nonfiction. Have you ever read Joseph Waumbaugh's stuff? I think he's terrific.

    Hi, Rebecca - I think we are twins. :) You've got the London scene at the top of the page (I would live there if I could), we like the same books and authors, British, procedurals, with humor. I'm not a librarian but I wish I was. Georgette Heyer, I haven't read in many years. Is there a particular one you like? Right on with O Jerusalem. That's my fave of King's books also. So nice to meet you!

    Hi Rebecca, thanks for the kind words on Bridge of Sighs. I like your perspective on book clubs--they bring you in touch with books you otherwise wouldn't have run into, because, let's face it, how is anyone supposed to navigate a bookstore? Just too many spines to sort through.

    He's a Bull Terrier named Yappy. Unfortunately because of allergies we had to find the little guy a new home, but he had the sweetest temperment of any dog I've ever run across.

    Ahhh....Nancy Drew. Can't WAIT to see that movie. I read all the books, but then again, I was a big Trixie Belden fan, too.

    The Trixie Belden books came out in the, uh, late 70s, I believe. That mystery series rocked for the tweens, as they're called now. I have a complete set, which according to ebay, is worth quite a bit of money. But, I wouldn't part with them for anything. My teenager read the series years ago, and I know my other two daughters will read them when they get a little older. It's so wonderful to pass down the love of the written word for the next generation.
