Forces you to overcome your introvert nature. Get to chat with big-name authors, editors, and agents without appearing creepy and stalker-like. It's your job to talk to them!

Cons: As a representative of the organization, you need to act professionally. (That may be a challenge for some.)

Catherine is finished with In Sunshine or in Shadow: I had a hard time getting into the story. I'm not sure why - it was a bit slow-paced. Might have been my mood. But the story did pick up as I continued reading. I need to go back and read the series in order. I've read a couple of the early stories.

I really enjoyed this Antique Shop Mystery by Elizabeth Penney. Nicely written, with a pleasantly complicated mystery.
Grandma's Valentine Abduction by Catherine Dilts
"I found this book to be humorous and enjoyable. It's a lighthearted mystery staring senior citizens, a bumbling private investigator who's trying to repair his relationship with his young adult daughter, a mysterious ninja, a handsome young policeman" Read more of this review »
Grandma's Valentine Abduction by Catherine Dilts
"This book was a real treat. It was so funny that I laughed out loud in quite a few places.
It is a cross between a fairy tale and a cozy mystery where no one gets murdered.
It is really original with wonderful characters.
I look forward to reading anoth" Read more of this review »

Beth Hi Cathy,
Welcome to Goodreads! Check out my profile for the groups that I belong to. You may want to join some of the mystery-oriented ones. And, I hope you'll add To Hell in a Handbasket and Wicked Eddies to your books list. :)
