Hi, everyone,

Life has been hectic recently. Both my daughters graduated (one from high school, one from college) and moved fifteen-plus hours away (one for a job, one for a military academy) and my life has been full of road travel, air travel (and airport delays), and packing (and unpacking) boxes for several weeks.  So I haven’t updated y’all on my newest Substack interviews.

Meet Debra Klein, Chicago IT expert turned mystery writer

“There’s a strength and toughness that’s unique to Chicago.”

Meet Jenny Adams, historical mystery author & school librarian

“Restricting access is the quickest and surest way to kill a kid’s love of reading.”

Meet Lynda Allen, artist and indie mystery author

“I consider myself a life in progress.”

Meet T. D. Severin, eye surgeon, former radio deejay, psychedelic record label owner, AND debut thriller author

“The question of what-if is only as interesting as the human element affected by the technology.”

Meet Millicent Eidson, medical detective & mystery writer

“You can consider the disease microbes as the criminals, although they’re just trying to survive like us.”

Meet Darlene Dziomba: A mystery author shares her passion for animals

“I had to stop and pet every dog that I saw.”

I also finished up posting my first draft of a YA rom-com, Pawfect Partners. If you’re interested in reading this, here’s the table of contents that can link you to each chapter. Table of Contents
