The game is afoot in Key West, Florida and there's a dead body in the Toucan Suite of the Paradise B&B. This is Rebecca Barrett's second book in this series written by multiple authors (The Mad Catters) who follow the antics of super-sleuth Trouble as he lands in first one crime scene then another.

The Naming Game

William Shakespeare famously asked…

“What is in a name…”

Quite a lot, actually, especially if you’re a writer. I had the most wonderful English professor, Father Doyle. Yes, it was a Jesuit College. He and my eleventh grade teacher, Mrs. Sullivan, instilled in me the love of language and a desire to write the stories that were always intruding on my thoughts.

Perhaps it’s, in part, due to the fa...

Carolyn Haines answered Rebecca Barrett's question: The Pluto Snitch series is fantastic. I love this time period and Raissa is a strong woman in a time of great challenges as well as great changes. How do you manage to separate these characters from the cast of the Sarah Booth Delaney series? That's a great question. When I start writing a book, I'm transformed to that location. The characters are so very real to me. I'm kind of like a scribe who follows along behind them, writing what they do and say. Of course I have to manage the pl... See Full Answer

“Résumé
Razors pain you,
Rivers are damp,
Acids stain you,
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful,
Nooses give,
Gas smells awful.
You might as well live.”
