The Latest

Black Friday was not a dark day for me. I greeted quite a crowd of shoppers at the Borders Express in Dulles Town Center Mall, along with two of my favorite authors, Candice Poarch and Rique Johnson. I saw no signs of an economic downturn for mystery fiction that day.

Alone at Last

I LOVE MY FAMILY and cherish every moment I get to spend with them. Dad and I spent a couple days at my daughter's place where the rest of the family joined us for a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner. We had stuffed turkey, spiral ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, fruit salad and three different kinds of pie. And don't forget the eggnog! Everything was so nice and we took some family pictures which I'll share with you later.

Dad decided to fly back to NC after Thanksgiving to… Continue
