The Unread Book | author’s note
On Wednesday I handed my newest book to two readers. They’re my favorite readers, such extremely generous friends, who have enjoyed and promoted my previous seven books. I wouldn’t say I was exactly worried that they won’t like my eighth, or will tell me it’s total crap. Well, maybe I am a little bit!
It’s a strange and vulnerable feeling to hand my untested new creation to someone to read and to judge. Of course I’m madly hoping they like it. Of course I hope it’s as good as I want it to be,...

Looking Back, Looking Forward | author’s note
It’s a good moment to look behind and ahead, at the turning of the year. Accomplishments, failures, lessons learned, goals achieved —and new goals and hopes for the months to come. I’ve never really made New Year’s resolutions, but from the time of the solstice to the changing of the calendar, it does seem like a great opportunity to take stock of where you’ve been and where you want to go. And, of course, where you are now.

Writing from Life | author’s note
Where I learned about detectives…
A good portion of my suspense fiction is pure fantasy. I don’t mean fantasy as a genre, but fantasy versus realism. Not only am I not remotely involved with any kind of criminal investigations, I don’t even know anyone who is. I have no experts pointing out my bogus assumptions about law enforcement or the criminal element. All of the detection and mystery and crime solving in my books—which make up most of the plots—comes out of my imagination, what I’ve seen...
