Louise Penny's Book and a Lesson on Helping

Louise Penny, a Canadian author of mystery novels set in the Canadian province of Quebec and centered on the work of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québe, is my current favorite author.

Penny’s characters are complex and Inspector Read more of this blog post »

Always another Surprise

From the first paragraph I was hooked, The author weaves a story with a comfortable setting and familiar people but then throws in one surprise after another until the very end. A very satisfying read.

Arthur Hall I am about to begin reading 'Clubland Heroes' by John Usborne. As a writer of stories featuring heroes of sorts, (espionage and detective), I find it helpful to read of the way authors of yesteryear described their protagonists and their adventures. This is a book first published in the 1950s, but so far it looks as if there is something to be learned.
That said, I am glad to be your friend on Goodreads, and I hope our paths cross often.
