I Don’t Know What to Call This, But It’s All Good

December 4, 2009 By: Patricia

This is a random collection of recommended blogs, blog posts, and book news, just for you.

The blogs of wonderful friends who are quirky, fun, and interesting:

Kathleen, whose photos and videos are really special: Retired in the Rockies. Kathleen has recipes from time to time. The asparagus with gorgonzola sauce is one I’m going to try.

Kay, who posts Mutterings of a Wanna-be Writer. She’s busy right now baking koulourakia and baklava while her fantasy novel ferments…

Blogs for readers and writers of crime fiction:

The Outfit: A Collective of Chicago Crime Writers. Today’s post, Weighing the Output, is by Sara Paretsky.

Murderati: Mysteries, Murder and Marketing. Stephen Jay Schwartz (whose first novel was published in 2009) writes: Step Right Up and Spin the Wheel…

Colorado Author News

On May 18th, I told you about Paula Reed‘s new novel, Hester, now scheduled for release February 16, 2010.

Paula has a blog now, and she has her first review (Publisher’s Weekly) posted there. Her website tells a little more about the novel.

And you may, of course, pre-order from amazon.com at a lovely discount. Barnesandnoble.com as well.

I gave you the scoop about author Teresa Funke on August 10th. Her new World War II themed book for middle graders, V for Victory, is now available.

And don’t forget Teresa’s book of short stories about women’s lives during World War II, Dancing in Combat Boots. This book would make a great gift for any woman in your life, from young teens to elders.

Teresa now performs a one-woman show using her Dancing in Combat Boots stories. I was out of town when she debuted, but am looking forward to her next production in March.

And a Quote to Finish the post:

“Me want cookie!
—————Spoken by Cookie Monster of Sesame Street

    Heck, yes, I was serious about the cookies. I had to settle for a biscotti, but now I must go check out Kathleen’s cookie recipes. Thanks!

    Thanks for the mention.

    I’ll be visiting the other blogs. You’ve already introduced me to a couple that I follow. Maybe, I’ll have good luck again to find one that will teach me some stuff I need to learn now.

    Thanks for commenting on my blog. I love visitors. If you really want a cookie – I have a recipe for that, too. Look for a post called “On Karma, Hope, and a Cookie Recipe.” They’re my favorite all time cookies.

Meet Patricia

I read, I write, I blog, and sometimes I do the laundry and cook. My 2014 novel, Dead Wrong, was a finalist in the thriller category of the 2015 Colorado Book Awards. Wishing Caswell Dead (Five Star/Cengage, December 20, 2017) is a historical mystery set in 1830s Illinois in the fictitious Village of Sangamon. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction. My most recent release, In Defense of Delia (Five Star/Cengage, November 2022), is available in hardcover and will soon be available in ebook and trade paperback. Read More…
