If I were writing a cozy mystery, I would include the mystery of the missing blender. Returning home from a trip, I found that our blender was gone. Although my kids and various aunts/uncles were here during that time, no one could explain how it disappeared. A few weeks later, my sister-in-law said she had taken it because she thought it was hers???? (We both had old and dated blenders!) Oddly, she never thought to mention that she'd taken it although it sat right on the counter and was used almost every day. I didn't mind as I bought a much better blender before the mystery was solved. In the meantime, I had quizzed everyone and it became a fun question. "Who has the blender?" I wonder...could a blender be a blunt force object used in a "mixing" murder? Hmmm....

Everything! Not really but almost. I love the storytelling aspect of writing and I like creating a world and people that become real to me. When someone reads something I've written and likes it, that's a true gift.

I'm currently in the final stages of the second Cancini novel, Stay of Execution. This book is a little grittier than the first but still plays upon the psychological aspects of murder. I'm hopeful that fans of A Guilty Mind and new readers alike will both give it a thumb's up.

I haven't had any extended periods of writer's block (yet) but for short term dead periods, I like to take walks with the dogs. For some reason, it's one of the times when I just let my mind wander from story idea to story idea. Works for me!
