Good Evening,
My favorite time of the year is here. I love fall, halloween, leaves that change but most of all I love the plethera of books that are released.
Here is a few book that I can't wait to read:
BRAIN DEAD by ELAINE VIETS
HAMMETT HEX by VICTORIA ABBOTT
DEATH by TIARA by LAURA LEVINE
CROWNED and DANGEROUS by RHYS BOWEN
AUNT DIMITY & the BURIED TREASURE by NANCY ATHERTON
The ART of MURDER by ELAINE VIETS
PUMPKIN PICKING WITH MURDER by AURALEE WALLACE
As you probably know I spent the month of September at my daughter's home. The Blue Springs South Library is really wonderful but I had to return the books I checked out and didn't get the chance to read the last little bit of two books.
When I came home I went to my library. They had one of the books and I checked it out yesterday.
The other one I didn't see however I am sure they have it. Will look for it in the next two week because as you can tell I have a lot of fun books to read.
Some are library books, a couple I won and a couple were ordered.
I finished The SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE by LEIGH PERRY
I am always impressed with this series. As usual I hate it when the books ends.
Also I almost finished with MURDER IN the SECRET GARDEN by ELLERY ADAMS.
Once again I am thrilled with this series and will hate the last page of this book.
I have some books on my kindle that need to be read.
Now you know why I love fall because nothing is better than a dark and stormy fall evening where the leaves fall and I can delve into a mystery and leave all of my stress behind as I listen to the howling wind.
Having said this I am praying for everyone in the line of "Hurricane Matt" because real life mother nature is more to fear than any horror story.

Yay for October
The
reason I’m yaying for October is ‘cause I get to visit California and see my
friends and kids and one of my grandsons. In other to see the other grandson
and his wife and children, I’ll have to go to North Carolina, which is considerably
farther from Roswell, New Mexico, than California is. I aim to take a good
picture of the house in which Daisy and her family live while I’m in Pasadena.
September
was a pretty good month for yours truly, if you discount the fact that the physical
therapist tried to kill me. With needles. Took me nearly a month to recover
from his “dry needling” of my left glute, dang it, and he set my
for-the-back-pain exercises back a long, dreary way. However, I can now walk
the wieners and do exercises again (whoopee, but you gotta do what you gotta
do).
I’ll
get in touch with the folks who won copies of books in September in individual
e-mails. If you’d like to enter October’s contest, I’ll be giving away audio
copies of ANCIENT SPIRITS, in which Daisy Gumm Majesty and Harold Kincaid
travel to Egypt and Turkey because everyone (except Daisy) thinks the trip will
help heal her grief over losing her husband, Billy. Naturally, things go wrong,
but Sam Rotondo rushes to Turkey and tries to save the day. He doesn’t quite
succeed, but the day is saved anyway. Here’s the audio cover for ANCIENT
SPIRITS, which is remarkably akin to the e-book and paperback cover for the
same book. There’s even a link if you’re burning to hear it and don’t want to
wait to see if you’ve won a copy. Denice Stradling, who’s narrated all of my
Daisy books so far, does a terrific job, as usual, on this one:
Naturally,
since hardbacks are expensive, feel free to purchase the e-book or the
paperback. I’m not greedy. Much.
Oh!
And if you’ve ever wondered what the White side-treadle sewing machine on which
Daisy makes all of her clothes looks like, here it is. This is my machine, and
I actually used to sew clothes on it for my daughters and me:
In
the meantime, I’ve been madly editing Frontier Fiction books for Five Star and
been having a whale of a time doing it. I love editing. It’s ever so much
easier than writing, although I wish I had more time to write. But one has to
earn a living for oneself and one’s hounds, don’t you know. I’ve been able to
edit for some wonderful western authors and consider myself privileged because
of it.
One
of these days, however, I must finish the next Daisy book, SPIRITS UNITED (in
which I murder a librarian, but only because Lynne Welch, former RWA Librarian
of the Year and overall librarian extraordinaire, asked me to). I will finish
it. Promise.
