Pictures and a thousand words

What can I say? I had this really nice picture of me raising a glass of 'the creature' in Edinburgh but somehow my 'helper' uploaded this one of me ready to tackle Balloch Country Park near Loch Lomond. For the record, I do have hair (brown), and the cap says "New Orleans" Maybe I'll get that whisky picture on somewhere else on this page :o) Until then, at least I've gotten rid of shadowy creature guy!

My name's up in lights...sort of...

I received some good news Thursday: I can now list two more publishing credits to my name.

Woohoo!

The University of South Alabama's award-winning, student-run fine arts review magazine, ORACLE, accepted and published two of my submitted works in their latest issue. It's only published during the spring and is a joint effort between the English and Fine Arts Departments.

My published works included a short fictional story, Big Red: A Love Story,…

At the Shelter

You can't imagine what it's been like. When we first started dating he was so complimentary. He seemed like the perfect man. Then gradually he changed. He started saying he didn't want to go out in public because he saw envy in other men's eyes. He thought other guys pretended to be his friend just so they could get to me and take me away from him.

Things got weirder and weirder. He became obsessed with the idea that I might leave him, and he insisted that he couldn't live without me.…

Better Late Than Never

The above truism seems to be my mantra these days. While I've always written, even did a column for the high school newspaper back in the day, I take rejection very seriously. Too seriously according to my fabulous and talented daughter. She maintains I would have been a great children's writer if only I had forged ahead despite those early" we're not looking for a story in this vein" form letters. Me? Not so sure. After all, there are only so many ways to tell the story of a bunny who…

SinC Chapters

I'd like to put the focus on chapters for a moment. You can belong to Sisters in Crime without joining a chapter--but if you don't belong to a chapter, you could be missing some of the most rewarding benefits and opportunities that SinC can offer.

For starters, chapters are one of the best ways to get to know your fellow Sisters in Crime--the people who love mysteries the way you do. The people who write the mysteries you read--or read the mysteries you write.

I have writer…

Sarah's Blog Today

Sarah Weinman's blog today is full of fascinating mystdery-related subjects. It deals with Marilyn Stasio, the mystery critic for the New York Times but contains among other matters this quote from an exchange between P.D.James and Lawrence Block about the morality of the mystery protagonist:

"L.B.: In the earliest American hard-boiled fiction, there were heroes who were virtually criminals themselves. Even Sam Spade was absolutely a cold-blooded…

Harvest Season

Posted by Sheila Connolly

In case I haven't mentioned it, I'm writing a mystery series that involves an apple orchard. Set in the rolling hills of western Massachusetts, the story begins when my protagonist decides to fix up a colonial house her family owns in order to sell it, and finds that it comes with an orchard. I would say an "old orchard," except that apples trees don't live for centuries. But she learns that there has been an orchard on that (fictional) spot since the…

Speaking of Earl

They were the best of friends, and what one didn’t think of the other did. I think they started planning while they were still in high school. Why else would one go away right after graduation and the other stay behind?

She hung around my store, lonely, like me. I really felt…

ALL IS VANITY?? wELL, NOT ALL..BUT A HELL OF A LOT...

From "Writers Beware," with alterations and additions by me :-)



Vanity Publishers in Sheep's Clothing

I often hear from writers who are confused because they've been offered a contract by a publisher that describes itself as "traditional" or "small press," but wants its authors to make some sort of financial commitment in order to be published. If a publisher wants money from you, STOP!!! Hit your mental remote… Continue

Crimespree 20

The next issue of Crimespree is at the printers now and has Charlaine
Harris featured as our cover story interviewed by the wonderful Kat
Richardson.

Just read the Ms Tree novel by Max Allan Collins coming from Hard Case
Crime in Dec. Great book! I love the comics he and Terry Beatty
did and this novel is a nice extention of that.

Hark! What's that falling on the roof?

I do believe it's raining, courtesy of what used to be tropical storm Erin. At the moment the temperature is comfortable. It's amazing how difficult it is to write when you feel like someone's slowly sauteing your brain in hot oil. Things are supposed to get back into the lower 90s by the end of the week, but maybe they won't get back up around 100. With all this rain, that extra humidity would make things utterly miserable.



The writing continues on the new novel. It's not the fastest… Continue
