The second book is almost completed and ready for editing. I'm very excited to show off a few possible covers as designed by the brilliant Debra Gioia. They may seem a bit stretched here but the actual image looks better.

Book Review - The Ladies Room by Carolyn Brown

-

We meet Trudy when she's at her Aunt Gert's funeral and desperate to use the ladies room. Once in the stall, her two cousins slip in (late for the funeral) and their conversation is the impetus which changes Trudy's life forever.  Her happy marriage and family life are flushed, figuratively, right down the toilet. Later, when she inherits her aunt's home, it is the opportunity for her to change her life for the better. She leaves behind the marriage and the bratty grown daughter and starts on a project to renovate the old house. Fortunately, it turns out that her aunt was wealthy and paid the hunky neighbor to do some of the work.  It seems the plan was always to push Trudy into the right direction. This was a sweet story that kept my attention throughout. It was funny and made you root for Trudy to figure out what she really wanted and needed.  I never like to give away too much of the story in my reviews so I'll stop here before you figure it all out.  I wil...

This book moves away from my regular cozy mystery into historical women's fiction. It's the first book I've read by this author.

Despite a marriage proposal Sophia remains single until her father's death. She soon finds she is penniless with no option but to travel to the new world and...

Crazy Criminals by L. A. Keller

-
In this installment of crazy criminals, we look back at an article in the BBC News on April 4, 2016, which goes to show you the U.S. doesn't have the market on crazy completely covered.  These are just a few of the cases in the article by Emma Ailes. Armed robber Andrew Hennells was caught after he boasted on Facebook about his plans to raid a supermarket in a post which included a selfie, a picture of a knife, and the words: "Doing. Tesco. Over." Police caught him 15 minutes later with the knife and £410 in cash stolen from a Tesco in King's Lynn, Norfolk. A retired couple from Lancashire returned home from a holiday in 2014 to discover a burglar fast asleep in their bed. Martin Holtby and Pat Dyson were amazed to find the intruder, Lukasz Chojnowski, had done their dishes, washed his underwear and even bought some groceries. Ms Dyson said their house "wasn't too tidy" when they went away, but Chojnowski - who is originally from Poland but moved to ...
