Neurodivergent Detective? Yes, Please!

I am autistic. I’m also hyperlexic, have a memory with photographic acuity… and the social graces of an orangutan. (Note: they are socially intelligent animals, but are the only primates to live almost entirely solitary lives, so you know, it can be hard to remember the secret handshakes). I absolutely love a puzzle, but it was the behavior of Sherlock himself—in the stories and later adaptations— Read more of this blog post »

Brandy Schillace answered Connie Blackmon's question: I really enjoyed "The Framed Women...". Is there another or will there be another Jo Jones? Hi! The sequel, THE DEAD COME TO STAY is out now, and I will soon be pitching to my publisher to see if they will let me do another.

“Death is a balancing act: we know it will happen to us, to those we love, and yet we live in denial. That denial often leaves us entirely unprepared for the other element of death: grief.”

Brandy’s Quotes

“Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh. I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula
