Serendipity
It was about 7:30 p.m. on the night of August 14 when I received a phone call from a board member of Pacific NW Writers Association. The caller gave me the joyous news (woohoo!) that I was one of three finalists in the Nancy Pearl Best Book of the Year contest for my novel, "When There Was No Moon." Any Seattleite knows Nancy Pearl. A Seattle institution, she's a librarian, a best-selling author,

“Chapter 1
I was sitting in Tina's Sunset Restaurant, watching the outriggers shuffle lazily through the clear waters of Sabang Bay, when Tomboy took a seat opposite me, ordered a San Miguel from Tina's daughter, and told me someone else had to die. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and up until that point I'd been in a good mood.
I told him I didn't want to kill people anymore, that it was a part of my past I didn't want to be reminded of, and he replied that he understood all that, but once again we needed the money. 'It's just the way the cookie crumbles.' he added, with the sort of bullshit 'I share your suffering' expression an undertaker might give to one of his customer's relatives. Tomboy Darke was my business partner and a man with a cliche for every occasion, including murder.”

And thanks for being mine. I have a great admiration for people who do the work you do!
Laurel, I'm off for a bit of "unplugged" R&R, except for my Kindle. Will check out your books on there.
Thanks for the friend invite! Interesting that you have a "nod" to the Central Valley in your book. Of course, all of my books are either centered there, or have a peripheral "nod."
Hey Irma, Thanks for your comments. I did know that there is a Boy in the Striped Pajamas, but I haven't seen it yet. Our dog's name is Milou.
Hello Ann and how are ya? Good to hear from you again. I just finished writing a review of Martha Cheves cookbook. Not sure if you saw the posting here on goodreads. Next, I'll get to reading/reviewing Devils Crescent. --Irma
Sharing with my goodreads friends that my novel, "Irretrievably Broken" was chosen one of top 20 novels by Cold Coffee magazine. Whoohooo!

Phyllis, thanks for being my friend. I'd also like to share my joy with you as I just received a 5-star review from Mona Moloney for my novel, "Irretrievably Broken."
Charles, nice to run into you again and thanks for welcome to goodreads. Hope your holidays were happy. My dad-in-law has been in and out of hospital recently, so we had to cancel a lot of our holiday celebrations. I'm still planning to write a review of your book. Did you read "Irretrievably Broken?" Would love your feedback. Happy New Year! Irma

Hi Irma. Did you read "Jacob's Courage?" If so, would you please consider writing a review on Amazon?
Thanks,
Chuck
P.S. Thanks for the image that you placed on my book's Amazon page.
Hi Irma. Welcome to Goodreads. It's good to see you here.Chuck
