Wednesday Scramble

January 19, 2011 By: Patricia

Tomorrow’s Guest

I’m very excited to have mystery author Michael Allan Mallory as my guest blogger tomorrow. Michael and his partner in crime, Marilyn Victor, have created an excellent series character in zookeeper Lavender (Snake) Jones. Their books are Death Roll and the newly released, Killer Instinct.

And Another Guest for Monday

I’ll be introducing one of our fine Colorado authors, Mary Ann Seymour, who wrote Around the Square and Butterfly Messages.

What I’m Reading

I just finished Harlan Coben’s Hold Tight. Now I’m reading Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven by Fannie Flagg.

Katrina Update

It only took 38 shots for me to get this one good photo of Katie in action during evening playtime. Thank goodness for digital cameras.

Is it any wonder I’m not getting much writing done? When all other forms of procrastination fail, adopt a kitten.

    It was well worth the effort – that’s a great photo!!

    I started reading Prairie Grass Murders last night and I’m loving it!! I won’t have much reading time for the next few days – but I can’t wait to get back to it! πŸ™‚

    Adorable. As a fellow procrastinator, this is one form of procrastination I never thought of.

    Oh, Katie is fabulous! And I love that quote. A Zookeeper sounds like a GREAT MC–I really like that as a premise. I will have to check that out. I like cozies (and near cozies) a lot, but I’m really not crafty, so these alternative themes really appeal to me (I like Barbara Block’s pet store owner, too)

    Digital cameras are the best! I always used to take two shots of everything while on vacation just to make sure one came out. Expensive developing all that!

    How cute! Harlan Coben and Fannie Flagg are two of my favorites.

    Patricia – What a wonderful ‘photo! I just love it! What a great shot. I’m looking forward to your guests, and to what you thought of the Harlan Coben novel.

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…
