Starting over. Where to begin?
For days now, my first thoughtin the morning has been that today is the day that I must pick up the droppedthreads of my blog. After all, I’ve been blogging since 2006. I checked just now,and my last blog post was June 08, just shy of a month ago. But where to begin?I think I’ll go wash my hair.
Truly, that’s been sort of myattitude. A Scarlett O’Hara-type tendency to put off what I’m not s

“Florence Dodson was murdered the same night that Claire Guthrie shot her husband. For me, the story began with Claire, and I put Mrs. Dodson on the back burner in my mind. That turned out to be a mistake.”

“Well, now, isn’t that fine! Course, I don’t know next to nothing about books, never could read much, and I ain’t heard of that one, but I know it’s important for a young person to get all the education they can. You go right on and read, Mattie, and I’ll help your ma.” He patted me on the head, and as I looked up, I saw Mama give him a long sideways look. I wasn’t sure what it meant, but I read a little hurt and disappointment in her face.”

Just released: Deception in Strange Places. A woman desperately seeking her biological mother, a televangelist determined to thwart that search, a hired hit man, and in the midst of it all, a reclusive diva who wears Chinese silk gowns and collects antique Chinese porcelain. No one is telling the whole truth, and Kelly doesn’t know who to trust. She has gotten herself involved in a dangerous emotional tangle this time, and Mike doesn’t tell her to back off this time, even when events take them from Fort Worth to San Antonio. http://www.amazon.com/Deception-Stran...
