To Be Read/Read/Add
TO BE READ/ READ/ ADD
Those are happy words to an authors ear. Everytime someone adds my book, If I Fail, A Jake Carrington mystery I can't explain the joy it brings.
You see not only do I love reading, I love writing and the Jake Carrington Series is a labor of love for me.
It's a mystery but it has very strong romantic elements in the book.
Why add romance to a mystery? Well, I feel life has both. If I'm going to write a good and believable mystery it needs to reflect life and dreams.
What's your opinion on the subject?

Romance in Mysteries
Today I was invited to be on a panel at the Mark Twain House discussing Romance in Mysteries and Mysteries in Romance.
I had an incredible time. It was my first appearance as a published author. I got to sit on the panel with award winning authors, Roberta Isleb/Lucy Burdette, Lori Avocato and Rosemary Harris. Wow, right?
Sisters in Crime New England put on this spectacular event and it was well attended. After the panel discussion we were treated to a tour of the famed house. Breathtaking is the only word that comes to mind. If you have the chance visit it. It is well worth the time.
Sisters in Crime NE's next event is Crime Bake 2012 in Novemeber.
