The Next Big Thing: Hop, Hop, Hop
As part of the “Next Big Thing” blog hop, I was tagged by the fabulous Clare O’Donohue. Check out her website and her books. Her post was last week. I’m tagging three writers who will fill you in on themselves and their projects Jan. 2. One of the goals of the blog hop is for readers to find writers they might not yet know. The lucky writers I tagged are: Cathy Willey, Kettle Macaulay, and Kate Laity. So here’s my answers to the blog hop questions: What is the title of your next...

I had a fabulous time at Bouchercon the week before last, but I came home with a terrible cold and was really down for a few days. Now, I’m back at it, though not quite one-hundred percent.
