Quotes by Deb Baker  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The difference between men and women is this--if you catch a woman butt-naked, she tries to cover the private parts with her hands. A man will sit there just like you found him even if he doesn't have much to be proud of.”
Deb Baker, Murder Passes the Buck

“It's amazing what the possiblity of romance can do to you. I'm self-conscious now in ways I never was before.”
Deb Baker, Murder Talks Turkey

“Nobody, but nobody, is going to get our guns, even if it means burying most of them in the ground and taking a final stand with our legs spread wide and our favorite firing power nestled in our arms.”
Deb Baker, Murder Talks Turkey

Michael Murphy Deb, thanks for connecting on Goodreads. Wishing you continued success with your writing. Hope you'll consider adding my new Prohibition-era mystery, The Yankee Club, to your to read list. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Deb Rosemary wrote: "Deb, my mother just finished Dolled Up For Murder and thoroughly enjoyed it!"

Great! Thank her for me. Hope she's recovering well.




Rosemary Deb, my mother just finished Dolled Up For Murder and thoroughly enjoyed it!


message 6: by Deb

Deb Give your mom my best wishes for a speedy recover. I've heard great things about Murder By the Book but haven't been that way yet. You're the best.


Rosemary Deb, when I'm in town (Houston) next Saturday, I plan to visit Murder by the Book and pick up some of your doll mysteries. My mother is staying with me (recuperating from a broken hip), and after I told her about learning of your series on Goodreads, she wants to read them. Good books are really helping her recover!


message 4: by Deb

Deb Rosemary, that's right, we did role play with our dolls and create stories. Such fun!


Rosemary Deb, thank you so much for befriending me. I'm excited to learn about your line of "doll" murder mysteries. Dolls and doll playing were a huge influence on my development as a writer (all that creating personalities for the dolls and making up stories for them to enact). When my daughters were little we read a book called The Dollhouse Murders--now we need to move on to your books!
