The Perils of Writing a Book
By June Shaw
I wasn't sure whether to call this post "The Perils of Writing a Book" or -- "The Perils of Cleaning Your House."
Why? you might ask.
Because one morning a month ago I sat at my desk in front of my computer and realized I wanted information from a piece of paper I'd placed on the floor to the right of my chair the evening before. Thus, with a smile, I twisted to the right from my seated position to grab that paper and zing -- excrutiating pain shot from my back and traveled down my...

Misleading cover art
by Carola
I've already posted the covers of the Polish translations of my Daisy Dalrymple mysteries, and commented on the black cat that infests them though not appearing in the books http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2013/08/daisy-in-polish.html
This is a much more misleading cover:
The Hebrew translation of Mayhem and Miranda, one of my Regencies. Unless they drastically altered the text in translating it, the pic has nothing whatever to do with the story.
Anyone buying the book expecting a...

Carolyn Hart's Ghost Gone Wild
Bestselling author Carolyn Hart's fourth ghost mystery was released last month featuring Bailey Ruth, a readheaded ghost who returns to earth to solve mysteries.
Carolyn, what prompted you to write the series? I grew up loving Topper and Blithe Spirit. I always wanted to write a book with a happy fun ghost.
I had an idea about a young woman, rather prim, who was in the attic not long before her wedding. She finds an old trunk and while exploring it, discove...

A Scientific Interlude
by Bill Kirton
Away from the usual self-advertising and PR plugs for a change. Two items I read a while back – one on a website, the other in The Observer – set up some scientific musings. Science to me usually means fascinating things which I don’t understand, but it often leads to trains of thought I wouldn’t otherwise have.
The first item was about chromosomes. I know, of course, that they’re made of DNA and proteins and carry our genes. When I checked Wikipedia, there was stuff about regula...

Wildlife Photographer in a Wheelchair
By Jean Henry Mead
Judy Peterson is a talented photographer who captures beautiful outdoor scenes, despite the fact that she's confined to a wheelchair.
Judy, when did you develop an interest in photography?
My parents gave me my first camera when I was 10 years old. I'll never forget. It was a Kodak Instamatic and had a green button on it. The flash bulbs clicked on top of the camera. What fun I had with this camera! The fun hasn't stopped!
Why do you...
