Mark Reutlinger:
Thanks, Mark. I'll put the two new books on my TBR list. Glad to know I'll see more of Mrs. Kaplan. Sorry they won't fit in my monthly column on Texas mysteries. I don't suppose you live in Texas?
Mark Reutlinger
No, I don't. But I purposely have never placed my Mrs. Kaplan stories in any particular city or state, so that a reader could imagine them taking place wherever seemed best. (Several have guessed New York or Florida.) So you are free (even encouraged) to set them in Texas! Ida might have a Jewish accent with a Texas drawl. :>)

I don't think Lone Star Literary Life will let me willy-nilly set them here, and yes, I thought Florida. Somewhere recently someone was asking about mysteries with a Jewish flavor, and I suggested yours. Here's the obligatory question mark without which they won't post this?

No question, just praise. I'm reading A Pain in the Tuchis and thoroughly enjoying it. A shiksa, I was married and/or with a Jewish man for 20 years. I always say he gave me four beautiful children and a love for kosher food. But he also gave me an affection for Jewish culture, and so many of the phrases and mannerisms and characteristics in your book strike a chord?
