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! →

Just a little more

I’m informed that some writers, particularly some self-pubbed who do series, may seek reader suggestions, or incorporate certain twists, actions, relationships, whatever, the readers request. I won’t, never have or will, criticize another writer’s process. Every writer has their own, and that process is right for them. There’s no right way, no wrong way, only … Continue reading Just a little more →

Big, Giant Wow

Some readers will complain that this post isn’t upbeat and happy. I’m sorry, but I feel strongly there are things I must address. I promise I’ll be posting happy blogs down the road. Gardening season’s almost here. Kayla’s college graduation (!) is around the corner, Girl Spa’s coming. * There will be cheerful posts and … Continue reading Big, Giant Wow →

A bit of a break

In what’s become a new winter tradition, Nora, JoAnne (her business manager) and I spent last week at Nemacolin. This is not to be confused with Girls Spa Week which happens in May with a larger group and The Stupid Scoreboard. This was a week to relax and brainstorm for the year ahead. Last year, … Continue reading A bit of a break →

Loss and Gain

We lost our old guy, Parker, recently. He got sick so fast. Fine one day, really not fine the next. After lots of tests, screenings, and a round of antibiotics to try to beat down a prostate infection, along with a UTI, he didn’t get better, but worse. The next step would’ve been cancer biopsies, … Continue reading Loss and Gain →

Mind Games excerpt

I know the anticipation for The Mirror (out November 19) is so high that some people have forgotten that Mind Games, Nora’s summer romantic suspense, is out on May 21. Here’s the official description: As they do each June, the Foxes have driven the winding roads of Appalachia to drop off their children for a … Continue reading Mind Games excerpt →

Mission Accomplished!

My annual January purge is complete!! It’s so satisfying to have it done. And to remember when I started this routine years and years ago, it took weeks and weeks of full weekends to get it done. By keeping it up annually I can usually finish inside a month, and still have some weekend time … Continue reading Mission Accomplished! →
