About this author
A Petrarchan sonnet from my poetry collection
Fighting Kite

Wedlock
Papa said, "You know I would have to kill you,"
To Mama, who sat quietly, head bowed.
I was just a kid — five or six — and cried
deep gut-wrenching sobs. The moon, like a new
coin in the window, sliced in half by blue
knives of cloud. "You're too young to understand,
Vin," he smiled. "It would be my duty as a man."

The Beekeeper's Apprentice (Mary Russell, #1)

| Interesting to read this against the backdrop of the Robert Downey and Benedict Cumberbatch portrayals of Sherlock Holmes (movie and BBC, respectively). Laurie R. King's take on Sherlock in The Beekeeper's Apprentice is a fascinating turn: he's older...more | |

| I picked up Déjà Dead because (1) I'm in a hold line at the library for Patricia Cornwell's newest, (2) I'm waiting for James W. Hall's next, and (3) I like the TV show "Bones" that's based on the hero of this novel, Temperance Brennan. Well, I wasn...more | |
