Last Saturday in June

Good Afternoon,
It's a rainy stormy Saturday afternoon. I think I will cross stitch and if our storms are not too bad I will write as I really need to write. My dad has an enlarged Prostate and enlarged bladder so they put off his herina surgery until they can try and shrink some things.
He had a 72nd birthday this week and my niece had them over for supper, cake and ice cream.
My husband has had a couple of diabetic bouts this week. He's fine now but as you can guess it's been a stress filled week at our house.
Been reading Rex Stout's The Second Confession. of course it's good, been reading What Are You Wearing To Die?
Still need to write the Death du Jour review.
We had weekend plans but they sorta fell by the wayside with the weather.
Hugs,
Pamela

Tuesday June 17th-08

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would check in before I start doing more reviews and interviews today.
Okay just wanted to say hi and that I hope everyone has a great day!

Tuesday June 17th

Good Morning,
Monday went by in a blur of housework. Now to catch up on more interviews and reviews. Find the time to write on my own book and continue with even more housework.
People thing authors have a glamorous life. I don't not that far up the writing food chain. I think Mary Higgins Clark seems to have one.
I still do my own housework, and whatever cooking my husband doesn't want to do, I still do my own research for my books and at least the trade off is I can work in my sweats or my jeans. I don't have to wear makeup and I can set my own hours. Which happens to be a curse and a blessing.
Mostly through the years the one thing I have learned is the more you stay home and write. The more your family and friends think you have nothing to do and the more they try to change you to their scehdule.
It's a fact of life that nothing is perfect all the time. I think being an author might be as close as I will come and at least I can get up and go take a walk. Something I couldn't do sitting in an office job. Still when you have to write and you're staring at a blank page. It's doesn't make for a fun day at work.
I usually take a walk, or in the winter I will cross stitch the plot problem or protag problem away. Sooner or later maybe even while doing dishes the light bulb above my head comes on and I'm off and running again.
Hugs,
Pamela

Up late

Hello,
I'm up late as I just finished talking with my mother tonight. The second night in a row and it's late so I am checking email to unwind. Today is Father's Day and I hope the barbeque won't be rained out this afternoon.
Happy Father's Day Everyone!

Hugs,
Pamela

Saturday

I'm so happy for my daughter Mishell she has now dropped 22 and a half pounds. Soon she will be telling me she has lost thirty pounds. When she gets done with the excercise video that is working for her she is going to loan it to me.
This weekend I am working on writing reviews and interviews.
Father's Day Weekend is going great.
Hugs,
Pamela

Good Afternoon

Good Afternoon,
Okay more authors that I read in May and June.
MURDER WALKS THE PLANK by Carolyn Hart.
This one is a reread for a review that was lost in the email cyberspace a long while back.
Annie is putting on a mystery cruise and then the real mystery happens. Who would want to murder Pamela Potts and why was Pamela sent a ticket to make sure she was on the boat. Then someone made sure she was pushed overboard. Soon another murder occurs and Annie know one thing for sure. Family can be just as exhausting as trying to solve a crime. Annie's father and her sister have very different view points on his love life.
Max is trying to keep Annie safe and alive and she isn't making the job easy.
All the regulars are in this one and can you guess what the paintings mean on the walls of DEATH ON DEMAND ?
This is clearly a cozy/traditional lovers dream of a mystery.
I give this one a 10.

More Cozy Reviews

I'm trying out new colors too and I love this blog I've missed blogging over here, and thought I would post a picture of me. I love hearing from other mystery authors and I write traditional/cozy mysteries. I have four published mysteries and I am currently trying to finish two others by the end of 08.

Book reviews -cozy

Okay let's see how I like this one. I'll give my May/June reads
NAIL BITER by SARAH GRAVES if you like witches and home repair mysteries boy is this book a treat for you. I give it a 10 out of 1-10.

GOODBYE MS. CHIPS by Dorothy Cannell this series has been a long time in coming for a new book and Dorothy did not disappoint her readers. What a great way to spend a summer evening. Open this book and you will soon forget all of your troubles and you will definitely laugh and laugh some more. I give this one a 10.
KILLER BLONDE by Laura Levine well what can I say this series is a laugh out loud series with a cat named Prozac you can't go wrong. 9 out of 10.
