If you are an @AgathaChristie fan and on Facebook, you may enjoy this recent Barnes and Noble reposting of my article for them about my trip to Agatha's old haunts, specifically Wallingford and Greenway. Such a splendid trip it was.

The above are artifacts found after 9/11. People in the towers, knowing they were dying, used them to communicate with loved ones. It's hard not to feel outrage and anger all over again but personally, I can't stop mourning until I put aside that outrage. Or try to.

I still mourn her passing and I always will. It will be hard to believe she's gone, even ten years from now. We remember the people who were kind to us (if we are wise). This was a major loss to the world of mystery novels. She and her co-author son, Charles, just celebrated 25 books.

Books, and more books

In 2021 I've written from scratch or revised a total of four books and I'm in various stages with two more. During the pandemic, this was what there was to do.

Yesterday my husband and I got booster shots. Despite the high level of productivity I want this pandemic to end. So people NOT free to stay at home and work can recover. I hope wherever you are, you have access to the vaccine and take advantage of the miracle it represents.

The one, the only Agatha Christie

I may on occasion reread an author but Agatha Christie is the only one I've reread constantly throughout my life, making a study of HOW DID SHE DO IT?

She truly was a marvel and still unsurpassed. Here she is with one of her fox terriers, her favorite breed.

A very cute example of the breed named Bob starred in Dumb Witness, a televised version of which we watched the other night. Bob is falsely accused of being responsible for the crime - quelle outrage!

My agent Mark Gottlieb of Trident Media Group hosts a blog where he interviews industry insiders about the publishing industry. This is where you get the true story of what's changing and what's staying the same. What agents and editors want and what they don't want.

Yesterday Mark interviewed my editor at Severn House, Carl Smith. There is so much good info in here I urge you to read it. I should add, there is much good talk about my upcoming book, DEATH IN CORNWALL, also.
