25 Years Ago Today: Child Finder Trilogy Author Mike Angley
I'd like to welcome Mike Angley, the award-winning author of the mystery/thriller series, the Child Finder Trilogy, which features USAF Special Agent protagonist, Major Patrick S. O'Donnell. I first got to know Mike a few months ago when he interviewed me for his blog and I found his background quite impressive.

25 Years Ago Today: Cherished Tales of Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden
Twenty-five years ago, I was an introverted young girl approaching sixth grade. Suddenly, girls started "going out" with boys, bullies grew bigger, and gym class got rougher. Even though I had dedicated teachers and good friends, school often felt uncomfortable to me.

News Flash: Kris Langley Interview
Kris Langley, my obit writer/aspiring reporter heroine from Twenty-Five Years Ago Today, is making a special appearance today on suspense author Darcia Helle's blog. Kris has taken the time to answer some of Darcia's questions, and is serving as the interview subject rather than the interviewer for a nice change of pace.
Here is a sneak peek at Kris and Darcia's interview:
Kris, welcome and thanks for coming! You decided to make a sudden career switch and wound up as an editorial assistant...

25 Years Ago Today: An Introduction
Welcome to my new blog! I'm so excited to have this opportunity to reach fellow book lovers. One of the main features that I'll be focusing on is posting a regular 25 Years Ago Today column. Over the coming months, guest authors (and sometimes, their characters) will write articles based upon my question "What were you doing 25 years ago?" We will hear from novelists representing a wide range of genres. From time-to-time, I'll also pose the question to non-authors.
Why this particular...
