Hello, Girl Detective fans. Mr. Thrilling here, speaking on behalf of
the Unsinkable Ms. Browne, who’s hunkered down in her Fortess of
Solitude, slaving away on Poetic Death #4, or whatever the official
sequel to Poetic Death #3 will be titled.
Of course, those of you who just came in are probably scratching their
heads. Girl Detective? Mr. Thrilling? And […]

Recently, I was asked to fill in for the guy who edits my weekly newspaper column. The gig was a presentation in front of the local Phi Beta Kappa association and the stated topic was “journalists who become fiction writers” (much like our own beloved Ms. Bradford). My co-presenter was a very nice college professor […]

Part the Second
Welcome to week two of Tasha’s Cocktail Party!!!
Fitting really, that we couldn’t get it all in during one Friday. Tasha and the rest of the Chicago contingent are at Love is Murder this weekend, yucking it up with the likes of Lee Child, Barry Eisler and Tess Gerritsen, among others. I wish I […]

I’ve been accused of having a thing for Curtis Stone.
I can’t watch TLC’s “Take Home Chef” without being teased that I’m tuning in to watch my boyyyyfriend.

Please give a warm welcome to the fabulous B.E. Sanderson, in whose capable hands you’ll be more than happy to spend this Labor Day….
Hi, and thank you for having me guest blog today at the Good Girls Kill for the Money Club. It’s truly an honor and a privilege.
Over the weekend, instead of working […]

The Good Girls have laid down the law for my guest shot here:
No politics.
No religion.
No drinking the good tequila
No talk of hot monkey love
Which leaves me bereft of my usual blog topics. So I’m forced to write about embarrassing moments. My own, of course, but I hope you’ll join me in this cathartic […]

~First, please accept my warmest thanks for your kind invitation. I first came to this blog due to an invitation form the lovely and talented Ms. Alexander, divine hostess of the Virtual Cocktail Party. So it’s fitting that the subject under discussion for today should be, as they used to say on Jeopardy! , potent […]

“How you doing?” he said.
I just knocked it back his way. “How you doing?”
“Good.” He nodded. Marvin had already been half bald when I knew him. […]
