Glad you agree, Ed! The lake is a good spot for thinking about anything. :)
As for how much I research, it depends on the subject. I sometimes "fall into" research -- for instance, for "The Essence" I read several books about Ataturk, the inspiration for the General's character, and it held up writing for months. I felt a bit paranoid about doing online searches for uranium mining in 2002, but I wanted to be accurate, even if it was just a detail. I'll also look up restaurants and interesting facts about locations, like the slide on the Great Wall of China. I'd rather visit the locations in person, but youtube is the next best thing to being there! Thanks for your interest.(less)

I'm trying to follow the genre structure so it qualifies as a "real romance" as my other books are mixes of adventure/mystery with some romance, so it was hard to characterize them.
In this book, the main character is Liza, a side character in "Cinnamon Bourbon and Deception". She's a spunky entrepreneur. I can't wait to see how this turns out :) (less)

Summer Reading Book Recommendation

Washed Up at Sea Oats Beach: A cozy mystery beach read (The Sea Oats Beach Series Book 2) Washed Up at Sea Oats Beach: A cozy mystery beach read by Karen C. Whalen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The last thing socially awkward Bree needs is to discover a dead body. But a dead woman and a live dog have washed ashore, and it’s a mystery how they got there. The story follows Bree as her desire to find the killer (and who owns the dog) propels her beyond her comfort zone. The book is well-writt Read more of this blog post »

I was excited to read this novel, and I was thinking it was one I'd recommend, but includes many historical issues and time that should not be forgotten. I loved Birdie and Meg, wonderful characters with upbeat attitudes despite their circumstances. ...more

Andromache's Story  by Nancy Deswik MacCreery
"What a fun read! Who knew a book that included the 10-year war between the Greeks and the Trojans ~~ a war that culminated with the Trojan Horse and Troy being burned to the ground ~~ would so satisfy my dopamine receptors.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
“My people are going to learn the principles of democracy the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will, every man can follow his own conscience provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him act against the liberty of his fellow men.”

Philip Hensher
“It [fiction] allows us to see the world from the point of view of someone else and there has been quite a lot of neurological research that shows reading novels is actually good for you. It embeds you in society and makes you think about other people. People are certainly better at all sorts of things if they can hold a novel in their heads. It is quite a skill, but if you can't do it then you're missing out on something in life. I think you can tell, when you meet someone, whether they read novels or not. There is some little hollowness if they don't.”
