“Pies are so much fun to make—and so simple! All it takes to make a tender, flaky crust is the right amount of vegetable shortening, cut into flour with a sprinkle of cold water, and just a pinch of salt. Cherries have the right sweet-to-tart taste—and are also a good source of poison! Just crush the pits or stems. There you’ll find prussic acid, also known as hydrogen cyanide: easy to sprinkle into both the filling and the crust. How sweet it is!”

A layer of dirt, then another of the slaked lime before a final half-foot of dirt. The bugs will help finish the job!”

I am liking the mommy assassin stories, gives a new twist on spy stories. I am currently reading the second book in the story. Nice to see a story that can make you laugh and tell a good mystery at the same time.

Dear Josie,I would like to thank you for being my friend here on GoodReads. I am really looking forward to reading your Christmassy novel & thank you once again for the giveaway.

Seriously, U complete me!!!!No, THANK YOU.
Thoughtful readers (such as yourself) are why I write.

I definitely agree that sometimes we are a Katie. I consider any author that can make me relate, love, hate, then love again to a character is talented enough for me to read all their books. I appreciate all your thoughtful words and how you explain Katie. She is so human truly, even if she is a character, and that is what made me read 70% of the book in one sitting.
:) Thanks again.
Marie wrote: "Thanks for adding me! You definitely write characters that make me want to read either our of anger, love, or just curiosity! I cannot wait to read the rest of your books."U doll U. Seriously, that means a lot to me. I could tell Katie really touch you (maddeningly so, LOL!) and that is how I wanted it! I didn't want her to be "predictable" in any way. She's a sharp lady -- and like all of us, sometimes does dumb things...
But waking up to our mistakes is life's journey, right?
When I turned in the book, I remember my agent saying "I hope you didn't give her the 'usual predictable' ending.' Well, I didn't...and I know that may have disappointed some readers...
But I wanted it to be real.
We all know a Katie.
Sometimes we ARE Katie.
And that's okay... as long as, eventually, we take our worst experiences and learn from them.
Marie, you can tell I appreciate your insights onto her character.... and your new friendship.
Great readers think alike,
:)
