My mother once confronted my husband and me, put her hands on her hips, and asked, “Can’t one of you hold onto a job?”

She was joking – sort of. Both of us were journalists, and we kept getting better jobs, which required moving. A lot. Moving frequently is, I have discovered, a good way to avoid having to clean out the closets, the garage, and the cabinets under the kitchen sink.

Through it all, I have been one thing above all else, a writer.

I started my first novel when I was in the third grade, the story of people living at the center of the earth. I liked the concept, but I really didn’t have a good plot point, and when I discovered what it’s really like at the center of the earth, the project sort of went up in flames, so to speak.

I can't stop. But I'm going to take a hiatus to read Jo Nesbo's latest Harry Hole mystery, "The Snowman," John Sanford's "Golden Prey," "Shattered," the inside look at what went wrong in the Clinton campaign, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson's new one, "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry."

There probably will be more, but I've also got to finish up the third in my Deuce Mora mystery series, "Burning Rage." Hope to have it ready to publish later this year or early next.

Thanks for asking.(less)

Awesome

Not the typical Longmire novel, but one of the best. Suspense. Angst. And an astonishing level of tension. It’s a story about a trip in an airplane in a snowstorm. I’m a pilot and just ate it up. But you don’t have to know how to fly, or even ...more
