New Year’s With Ellie

We tried very hard to stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve. Did make some mimosas around 9 p.m. so we could have a toast with Mom to mark the end of one of the most significant years in her life as well as ours. We chatted a while about just where the celebrations started in the Pacific Ocean and where it was currently over the Atlantic, and some related anecdotes, but staying up until the magic hour just wasn’t going to happen.

The next day, however, was more celebratory, as my granddaug...

I’m Still Here–an Update

This seemed as good a time as any to get things sorted out with my website and blogs. It’s been quite a year, from the day we suddenly decided to sell our bungalow and go together with my mom on a house big enough for us and with an apartment for her. It’s worked out great, and now enough time has passed for the requisite surge of adrenaline to subside and for me to go back to being me as a writer.

That means I’m working on the important second draft of the next Charlotte Anthony mystery, An...

Solving a Personal Mystery

Found my marbles?

This year so far hasn’t gone quite as planned. Does it ever? But the fifth Charlotte Anthony mystery novel is well underway, and while I can’t announce a publication date or anything, it’s still on track for release some time next spring. And I know the title: An Uninvited Quest.

My last post, about Acceptance, announced my intentions for this year–to be less reclusive, to work smarter, not harder, and to get out and do things, for both work and play. I made many plans, boug...

My New Word for 2017: Acceptance

A happier place to work.

Making New Year’s resolutions has never really worked for me, even when I manage to keep them.Then a few years ago I began coming up with a single word for the year, a word which would encompass everything that led to a particular goal or state of being. I don’t always choose “lofty” words, either. Last year’s word was Earn–earn more money, of course, but also in the sense of earning more readers. It was a successful year in both ways, as there was a solid uptick in b...

Now Available on Amazon: An Uncharted Corpse

Happy Winter Solstice! An Uncharted Corpse, the fourth book of the Charlotte Anthony mysteries, is now available on Amazon, in both print and Kindle editions. It’s a nice long book to curl up with on winter days and nights

Almost Time for the Next Charlotte Mystery!

Chugging the coffee.

The publication day for An Uncharted Corpse is less than a week away. No rest for the weary, either, as I am immersed in final proofreading of both the print and ebook editions. My eyes are tired, but I’m determined to catch as many errors and typos as I can.

Just this morning, I got an email from my beta reader Linda, who finished reading an Advance Review Copy of the book, and she caught a couple more clunkers, for which I’m everlastingly grateful. Now I’m being a pest...

How do you read and review a book that isn’t...

Cover Reveal: An Uncharted Corpse

Announcing the upcoming publication of the fourth Charlotte Anthony mystery, An Uncharted Corpse.

As in the previous novels, the action takes place in Elm Grove and features characters both new and familiar. Charlotte’s dau...
