Murder on the Cape
I was trying to post this as an attachment but the system seems reluctant to accept it... therefore, I have retrieved the article and posted it below. It would seem that the story would make great "mostly based on fact" fictionalization or a true crime if and when they ever catch who did it...Download Murder On The Cape.doc

What a great background you have for writing crime novels!
Sonja is married and is in Lampasas, Texas. She is a Vet Tech and works for a private vet there. Her husband, Daniel, is a manager for a large cattle company. He is a tall, lanky cowboy. They have a nice place down there and are looking at moving out to the ranch later.
Charlie has been retired for 8 years and loves it. He still has the cows and calves, the garden and all the hay and alfalfa. He takes the boys to Canada every June for a week of fishing and is taking them to Argentena to hunt doves in October. We have done some big vacations and are going on an eastern cruise from Montreal to Boston in Sept to see the fall leaves!.
Jason is married to Amber now 7 years and have our first grandbaby, Samantha, who is 11 months old. She is a doll and we get to see her often. The kids live just north of Emporia. Amber is a business teacher at Emporia High and Jason is still with the US Fish and Wildlife---as a fire fighter. He is out of Hartford, KS Reserve and is in Austin, Nevada, right now, fighting fires there.
I am still at SVHC. ..still 7P to 7A Charge. All is the same but many changes coming. In June when Sonja was here, we went by the old houses and the shop. She was so excited to hear I found you. I need a personal email and phone, so I don't have to get on here to talk with you.
My cell: 620-437-6688
Call me and we can get this up to snuff.
SO GLAD I FOUND YOU. Need to listen this weekend and see you interviewed!!!!!!!!!
Later, Love, Nanc
What an adventure you are having!!! I would love to see Scotland some time in my future and I love the name of the place... terrific!
Will send pvt email later today... got to get ready for Research Methods course this morning and the intricacies of measures of dispersion...I fear it may not keep them from going glazed eyed
Thanks for the invite.

I was teaching in upper state New York and working on PhD (now, there is an adventure!)... Moreover, I am currently teaching at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in a great program. We have a fully online Masters Program, so I am teaching both undergrads and graduates now (thus the plot for the PhD.
I have my own little NING site if you are interested at http://researchincrime.ning.com/ if you are interested in looking at it... has some of the research and articles I have focused on over the last several years.
Now, to the questions...
a) Yes, I am still writing and have several "plots" on the burner but it has to wait for summer ... and mostly had to wait until I got the dissertation out of the way... (That is a long story...lol and project)
b) The next Lynne Fhaolain aka Cloud City book is the major project for this summer, so I would hope (there is that word) that I should have her ready for her next adventure by fall 2008
c) Tru North is alive and well but was also subject to my academic pursuits, poor thing, but she is still out there catching the bad guys in Kansas City Missouri and will be returning but not until probably December of next year... her new adventure is further along but Lynne's has been taking much of my free time (such as it is) this last summer
d) The last 4 years have been quite interesting... I had decided that I wanted to teach in higher education with a serious focus and use some of that real life stuff as a focus in a dissertation.... teaching grad school requires the PhD ...so, I shifted gears and thus, the women of mystery got a bit short-shifted... but, I am back on track (so to speak) and will see if there is a publisher out there who might be interested.... I would prefer not to self-pub ... but we shall have to see...
As for the menopausal thing...yes, I can appreciate that, I was a bit precocious in that regards... early early.... And of course, afterwards, my attitude returned to its normal "sweetness and light"...OK, it was never sweetness and light but I am a bit less likely to require air conditioning in high winter now
Good to hear from you... yes, I promise not to drop off the face of the earth again... actually, it was a bit more like traveling a large area...Oregon to NY state and then back again and now to Alaska...Frankly, when I ended up here, I was a little worried that maybe the spirit of Tru North had a sense of humor and that’s why I am this close to "true north" literally now...LOL
