30 Days of Christmas-DAY TWO

Today I'm challenging you. Tell me:

Is your pet on Santa's Naughty List or his Nice list?

This is Burt. He's on the Nice List because he's so patient with his pet girl.

    Our cat Sig is on the naughty list. He sneeks up on people walking their dogs past the house and boos them.

    I'm without pets right now but my neighbors dog Ralph is on the nice list. He is a fantastic watch dog, but friendly with us. A pretty boy too.

    Some comments that didn't show up here but came to my email:
    #1 I don't know how to add a photo on here. I have 5 furbabies-3 cats and 2
    dogs. They are all rescues--I wouldn't have any other kind. Rhonda and
    Cindy(dogs) are old ladies--14 & 13. Sometimes they can't make it outside
    in time to potty but that doesn't take them off the Nice list. Now, Rhonda
    is sort of on the Naughty list! She likes to get in the trash and she likes
    to steal the cat's food off their table!! I still love her. My kitties are
    Feather(10), Tiny(6) and Spunky(3). They are definitely on the Nice list.
    They are all family and I love them all so much.
    #2 When she is sleeping or playing she is on the nice list but when she is
    clawing the rug and furniture she is on the naughty list.

A Story for My Peeps--And a Sale for My E-books

-

        December-r-r E-BOOK SALE      You might know about Smashwords. To be honest, I don’t know much. But one of my publishers, Draft2Digital, recently acquired Smashwords, so they are one entity. Smashwords invited all D2D authors to join their December e-book sale, so I did.   From December 15 to December 30, 2022, (the kickoff to the real winter season in my home state of Michigan), all of my e-books, both Maggie Pill and Peg Herring titles, will be half off. Fifty percent. Basically, two for the price of one. Is that cool (winter reference) or what? As a rule of thumb, Maggie Pill books are cozy mysteries, (e.g. the Sleuth Sisters & the Trailer Park Tales series) meaning they’re funny (I think), small-townish, and as non-violent as one can get when the story centers on murder. Peg Herring books are all over the map, because I write the story that interests me at any given time. Those who’ve been with me throug

Book Clubs Take Note: Discussion Guide: Sister Saint, Sister Sinner

-

  When I sent Sister Saint, Sister Sinner to my editor, she was (as usual) helpful about pointing out areas that needed more development, parts that repeated information already given, and places where the logic  temporarily failed. At the end, she made a comment that stuck with me: "People are going to be talking about the things you deal with in this book." To me, that meant the story was destined for book clubs. Having visited a few in my years of writing, I knew that they often begin with a list of discussion topics. Now, they often don't stay focused on them, and that's okay. Sometimes it's the wine. Sometimes it's a natural progression. But discussion leaders like having questions that can get the conversation back on track when it strays too far from the story. Every person who reads a book gets something out of it that no one else does. I had the experience once of visiting a book group where one reader didn't like the book and kept bringing up her

New Reader Site Hits the Target

-

 Though I'm not sure how, I recently heard about Shepherd.com The people there are trying to change the way we find new books to read online, and I'm all for that. When you type in "mystery" or "crime fiction" in most book-finding sites (like Amazon), you get a list of the 8 or 10 biggest-selling writers, like James Patterson, Michael Connelly, and Janet Evanovitch. The problem with that is that telling me Michael Connelly has a new book is useless. I've already bought it, read it, and passed it on to a friend. Also, some of those big names don't interest me, for a variety of reasons. I'd like new suggestions, new authors to try, but it's hard to choose, and the list goes on forever, with no hints as to which ones I'll really like. Enter Shepherd.com. Right now, things are in the beginning stages, but the site categorizes books with a clever teaser: "The Best Books about..." You can search by title or author and along with the
