Lost in a Book
After the usual two years of work, I’ve finished the fifth complete draft of the next Mae Martin mystery, tentatively titled Wounded Healer. The mystery centers around a missing birder. The bird in the picture, the desert cardinal, plays a role in the story.

I could read this series just for the dialog and for the humor. The plot, while intricate, is like a trellis on which the characters, the dialog, and the humorous mini-scenes within major scenes can grow. The plot felt like a satire on solving a myst ...more |

| This second book in the series is as much of a page turner as the first and follows only a few months later. Dean Devereux is now nine months sober, and he's still making decisions that put that early sobriety in a precarious position. A new woman in ...more | |

“Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you're working. Tell them it's research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone.”

Oh the house of denial has thick walls
and very small windows
and whoever lives there, little by little,

and I did it in the dark—
I mean, without understanding.
I ran away.
I ran away again
