About Me:
I'm a retired travel agent who still loves to travel. My finished novel is the first in The Travel Agent Mysteries. I'm the Docket Editor for the National Sisters In Crime newsletter, In SinC. My book, Downsized To Death, is presently looking for an agent and/or publisher, and is a traditional mystery with a reluctant amateur sleuth trying to save her office and job by finding a missing employee the police think may have murdered their state supervisor. Every thing she learns flows into the murder investigation and puts her at odds with the detective on the case. This is not a travelogue or destination mystery, it is not about a tour escort. It is about the business of a travel agent..

    Hi Pat, I went on a cruise myself this year, around the Mediterranean. It was fantastic. Very hot! I was on my way to the Harrogate Crime festival, which was the highlight of my holiday.

    My cruise was a Costa Mediterranea in July. Loved it, my third cruise and the best one so far.

    Hi Pat, The Travel Agent series sounds good to me. I'm also a big fan of Colin Cotterill's - and a good friend as well so I'm glad to see you list him (he's on Crimespace as well.) I also write books set in Asia. I was a journalist in Asia for 11 years. My latest is mostly set in Cambodia and I'm having an event for it at Murder By the Book in Portland, next Tuesday - Nov. 13 - at 6pm, complete with a slide show about Cambodia and some great 1960s-'70s Cambodian pop music.

    Pat- I'm don't have a pub date yet from St. Martin's, but can't wait to spread the word when I do. I just had a short story out in the SinC NY antholody MURDER NY STYLE, and we had a great launch party at Sisters in Crime.

    Patricia, I hope your holidays are warm up there in Oregon. I always see your name in my copy of InSinC. I'm the Speakers Bureau Director for SinC/LA. If you are ever in our neck of the woods, come by.

    Patricia - thanks for accepting my invite and for your kind words. My Jason Wade series is starting to get a following. I was in Seattle only last summer and will be back this July for the PNWA Summer Conference

    Gosh, nothing worse than having your computer crash and try to find all those little tidbits you simply added all over the place and never backed up.
    Hi all! Can't believe I found you again.
    Love and kisses and a few tears.

    Patricia - I have yet made it to a Malice. Would love to, but not this time. Maybe next year.
    All the best

    Should have commented earlier how much I enjoyed my first Malice this year. It was also the first time I'd ever seen one of those author go rounds. What a great way to promote. Also met many Sisters and especially Guppies. A great organization. A great con.

    Hi Pat, glad you like the photo.
    My knowledge of the US legal system stems mainly from Perry Mason and LA Law, but when I spent some time working for a US lawfirm over here I did find myself recognising a lot of things I’d read about in John Grisham’s The Firm...
