Yesterday I created a presence on Library Thing, which calls itself the world’s largest book club. Members are readers, authors, and librarians. The first thing I did upon signing up was to create my profile. Here I entered the information I’d like to have other members know about me, including my website and blog urls. …Read More
The Humane Award Goes To…
Yesterday I received an unexpected honor. Helen Ginger included my blog (in some outstanding company, by the way) when she passed on the Humane Award she’d earned the day before for her own blog, Straight from Hel. Thank you, Helen. What is the Humane Award, you ask? Here’s the scoop: The Humane Award is to …Read More
Mystery Author: Marshall Karp
Did you know Marshall Karp has at least one contest going on his website? If you’re the lucky winner of this one, you’ll have a character named after you in a future Marshall Karp book. Now how cool is that? If you don’t know how cool it is, you probably haven’t been introduced to Karp’s …Read More
Sometimes We Just Need Yellow Flowers
I can’t think of too many things that cheer me up in the same way yellow flowers do. I think it has something to do with the rambling, yellow roses on our farm that used to bloom around my birthday each year when I was a kid. It always seemed as though they bloomed just …Read More
New and Upcoming Releases from Colorado Mystery Authors
While I trip away from our Colorado authors to read Three Weeks to Say Good-Bye by Wyoming author C. J. Box, I’ll at least let you know what some of our better known Colorado authors are doing: Many mystery readers are fans of Diane Mott Davidson’s series featuring Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz.

Mystery Writers of America has the …Read More
So What Do I Think of Twitter Now?
I jumped into the Twitter frenzy around the middle of April and three days later wrote Seven Things I Learned About Twitter in the First Three Days. Granted, my experience was limited, but there were some things I figured out pretty fast. The biggest thing: anyone prone to communication addiction should stay away. Being a …Read More
Sometimes We Just Need a Rainbow
My husband called me away from my computer this weekend–shouted really–to come outside. Now, I’m no dummy. I usually holler back, “Why?” This time, however, I had a feeling what he wanted. It had just rained. The sun was out. It had to be rainbow. I hopped up and ran outside. Took one look and …Read More
Colorado Author — Linda Berry
Somewhere along the line, someone commented on my blog that Colorado must be awash in published authors. It might be true. I need to start reading faster so I can speak with authority about each writer’s books. Today I am featuring Linda Berry, author of the Trudy Roundtree mystery series. In the newest release, Death …Read More
Setting for The Desert Hedge Murders
Although the second Sylvia and Willie mystery begins in Laughlin, Nevada, much of the adventure takes place in and around the gold-mining town of Oatman, Arizona. Oatman is located more than a dozen miles east of Bullhead City, in the northwest corner of Arizona, across the Colorado River from Laughlin. Not much, if any, gold …Read More
