Chapter Endings
Each chapter should end with something unresolved, somethingthe reader wants to know. It may be as subtle as waiting for an importantletter, or it can be a real cliffhanger, with the hero treading water in ablack ocean as the cruise ship lights fade into the night, but to keep thereader turning the pages, his curiosity must be aroused and not satisfied.And then?The unresolved issue doesn’t

Enchanting! Makes me want to plant a garden and enhale the scents. Another lovely story that brings light and joy as you turn the pages. Again, warm, credible characters I'd love to have as neighbors. I hope there will soon be more from Ms Herrick. . ...more |

“At the prosecution table, Flagler gave me his Ivy League snicker. If I wanted, I could dangle him out the window by his ankles. But then, I was picking up penalties for late hits while he was singing tenor with the Whiffenpoofs. Okay, so I’m not Yale Law Review, but I’m proud of my diploma. University of Miami. Night division. Top half of the bottom third of my class.”

Hi Ellis,I'm not sure if you'll get my reccommendation or not for - I Went To Harvard For This ? - or not. It deals with cooking and although its' not a cozy mystery by a long shot,it is absolutely the funniest time-travel story I've ever read. The heroine goes back to the 50's after blowing up a tinfoil fast food dinner in her micro-wave. This accident occurs after losing her job for coming up with the slogan:"The Best Your Mother Ever Faked." for a new line of Swanson type dinners. If you were raised in the 50's or 60's you'll relate to every hysterical quip.
Hi Ellis,Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery author on Goodreads!
