Blue Avenger Cracks the Code (Blue Avenger #2)
by
Norma Howe
"What do an amorous Shih Tzu, a computer game, and the complete works of Shakespeare have in common?Maybe nothing. Or maybe everything. It's a mystery...some would say a code.

I was born in east San Jose, California, the daughter of a railroad man and an Italian immigrant. I have two brothers, one older and one younger. As a youngster I did well in school, but probably not as well as I could have. I got my first paying job at age ten, which was summertime work picking prunes and cutting apricots with my older brother in the orchards not far from our home. We were fortun...more
