The NOT Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer

Since this summer’s been so packed, we opted to cut out our big trip, and take a family week at our beach houses on The Outer Banks. This requires an insanely long, tedious drive so, as we did in the past, we add days coming and going for a more-or-less halfway stop at The Great … Continue reading The NOT Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer →

Greenbrier Days

Some housekeeping notes: Nora and I divided the 2024 summer travel stories. I’ll handle Greenbrier, while she’ll send a recap of the family trip to Hatteras in the next few weeks. There is no overseas travel this year due to a ton of stateside family events. We’ll resume the longer travelogues in 2025 when Nora … Continue reading Greenbrier Days →

Home and Away

I’m out and about spring and summer more than any other time of the year. And there’s been plenty of that already this season. After our annual girl spa week, came Kat’s birthday spree. Such fun for all of us! We make this a two-day/two-night deal so we don’t feel rushed and can have plenty … Continue reading Home and Away →

Passions in Death excerpt

We’re getting closer to the Passions in Death release date – September 3 — so I thought it might be time to share the excerpt. First, here’s the official excerpt: On a hot August night, Eve and Roarke speed through the streets of Manhattan to the Down and Dirty club, where a joyful, boisterous pre-wedding … Continue reading Passions in Death excerpt →

And Just Like That, It’s June

I love summer. I love the long days, the quick, wild thunderstorms and blasting sun. And I love the flowers and the green. I feel blessed to live on a hill in the woods and back a lane where the trees dominate, and summer green murmurs peace. I enjoy weeding, deadheading, watering, all the steps … Continue reading And Just Like That, It’s June →

Girl Week

We had a smaller group this year as our great friend JoAnne’s on medical leave, and her daughter, Jeanette—a nurse—stayed back with her. We missed them! And some of us had to dribble in. Sarah had a work thing, so came up a day late, as did Pat. Laura had a family issue come up, … Continue reading Girl Week →

Mind Games discussion spot

I had the opportunity to read Mind Games a while back and, honestly, have anticipated opening this thread since I finished. For me, it was a reading adventure and I had so much fun with Thea, Rem and Lucy. Right now, I’m re-reading by listening to January LaVoy narrate and the feeling is the same. … Continue reading Mind Games discussion spot →

How they grow

Twenty-two years ago this July, I took my first look at my first grandchild. I still remember my first thought: Oh, my long-legged, lanky girl. She was so tiny, but oh, those long legs! She was my first girl. I had brothers, I had sons. I’m so grateful I’ve had the chance to watch her … Continue reading How they grow →

Bonded in Death

It’s part of the In Death lore that the series was originally planned as a trilogy. (!) Kind of makes you laugh when you consider the last 29 years. I’m pleased to share the US/Canada cover of Bonded in Death — the 60th full-length In Death novel. It will be in your hands on February … Continue reading Bonded in Death →

Wonderful, Glorious Spring!

It came early in my part of the world. A full two weeks. Generally I earmark the last weekend in April for planting. But the weather—long range forecast—said start now! My tulip magnolia bloomed for St. Patrick’s Day. Crazy. My ornamental cherry trees have just bloomed off, and it’s April! So BW and I took … Continue reading Wonderful, Glorious Spring! →
