I feel as if there ought to be yellow and black ribbons all over this page, but I know y'all have the imagination to make it so in your minds.

The thing is, this web site really is undergoing a major overhaul, but the learning curve is much steeper than we thought it was going to be, so it may be another week before you can look behind the board fence.

But please do come back and visit!

“Every time we start thinking we're the center of the universe, the universe turns around and says with a slightly distracted air, 'I'm sorry. What'd you say your name was again?”
Margaret Maron, Bootlegger's Daughter

“A woman’s body doesn’t quit just because her heart breaks.”
Margaret Maron

“Okay,” I say at last. “But you have to teach me how to do animals. I can’t keep myself from wilting when I’m a plant, so I’ve been afraid to try a living form.”
She laughs and shifts into the shape of a large golden retriever and almost licks me to death before I can make her stop.”
Margaret Maron, Crimes by Moonlight: Mysteries from the Dark Side
