In 2023 I will travel more, and be better about documenting my photos on my return. No idea where this photo was taken, somewhere in Germany in mid-December. We were on a shopping expedition to find warmer clothes! I left home with one hat, knowing I'd need at least that much, and returned with three hats. The finest and warmest of the three -- bright red for the holiday -- came from the Christmas market in Cologne. Having never been to this part of Germany, it was an education, much enjoyed. Next stop: Iceland!  Never one to give up, I'm reestablishing my Facebook presence after an absence of a year or so. Please like, follow, LOL, or whatever you're inclined to do.
Note, this is a friends' page. The business page FB (and a former publisher) want me to establish is for running book ads, which I am loathe to do. Former publisher created absolute chaos when, as it turned out, much of their marketing team had my password (!) https://www.facebook.com/g.m.mallietWriter/ I believe this was in Kloster Eberbach. Stunning place for dinner and wine tasting. The trip is a blur--hate it when that happens. Never time on our return to go through the photos properly. Anyway, this was one of those evenings I can still call to mind. It is a disused monastery but perfectly preserved.   A little free bookstore, seen in The Netherlands.
With hundreds of photos. I'll spare you all that, I've posted a lot of them on Instagram @g.m.malliet, but the Christmas lights everywhere are spectacular. And the cathedrals. I'll miss being able to get authentic roasted chestnuts outside Strasbourg Cathdral in France. But I won't miss the temperatures. The highs were below freezing most days, and by the time I got home I had a cold. But it was so worth it.  Visiting Germany for the first time in ages, wanting to visit the famous Christmas markets along the Rhine. Watch this space for dozens of photos to come!   Deliberate Cruelty: Truman Capote, the Millionaire's Wife, and the Murder of the Century by Roseanne MontilloI'll have to create a Goodreads shelf labeled "Gossip" for this one. It's what Truman was known for, after all. I confess to a fascination with this man that's lasted most of my life. His writing was second to none. What might he have done in his last years if he'd been sober?

Here's a sample of the artwork Rhys did for the first Max Tudor, WICKED AUTUMN. Isn't it stunning?   The Twist of a Knife by Anthony HorowitzI just got notice my eBook copy is available to me from my local library. Loved the other books and expect to love this one, too. A word about library lending: People think authors don't get paid for a library borrow, and I've had readers apologize to me for getting my books from their local. But we DO get paid - and depending on the publisher, it can be a very nice side revenue stream for us. So don't hesitate. Your favorite authors will get compensated! You may have to wait on the super popular books but you can generally find whatever you want at your library - or ask them to order it. View all my reviews |
