Friends for sixty years we had much to talk about. A visit to Berwick on Tweed for some shopping and <a href="https://paxtonhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paxton House</a>. One of the many houses open as a tourist attraction with many original furnishings. They needed to add central heating for me or light the many fireplaces. It was a damp rainy day we visited but the grounds were glorious with fields of daffodils surrounding the buildings.

If you know me at all you know my fascination with all things alpaca. My
favorite animal and their yarn is the best to knit with. Arriving at
<a href="https://bobcat-alpacas.co.uk/" target="_blank">BobCat Alpacas</a>, with a big boot or not I was going to climb the hill to see
them. A herd of sixty spied us and they raised their heads and down they came
to say howdy. I was in heaven. There were a few crias (babies) and most
were hoping to be fed pellets from my hand to supplement the grass.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsPJgAwUXoa_-l4Ay1pyb9Kw6RK7Cnfr4NqHr2J1gCfrUR9YFoSr6hDg1b8HsH34TVThCWJtk4SEj3zMOOiBBAEEWvGOW_o6IkMUioXRPq_5P21fmlVx-s7irfdpDhYNXpe2Grqz2CrO3vU0LOQC3Z89sqzMDcU0tm4A4l5OumkpJ3BbAmqioUDDrNDA/s1024/5186f3f6-0912-4430-b5aa-8a763423fe54.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsPJgAwUXoa_-l4Ay1pyb9Kw6RK7Cnfr4NqHr2J1gCfrUR9YFoSr6hDg1b8HsH34TVThCWJtk4SEj3zMOOiBBAEEWvGOW_o6IkMUioXRPq_5P21fmlVx-s7irfdpDhYNXpe2Grqz2CrO3vU0LOQC3Z89sqzMDcU0tm4A4l5OumkpJ3BbAmqioUDDrNDA/s320/5186f3f6-0912-4430-b5aa-8a763423fe54.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Shall I buy some yarn?</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>A championship herd with loads of awards.

We settled on a 2 acre rental property in the Gulf Shores, Alabama area. More specifically, located in Fort Morgan, Alabama. A wonderful Mediterranean influenced 4 bedroom home, with 2 smaller guest cottages on the property. Perfect for our group. While we weren't on the Gulf of Mexico, we did have a spectacular water view of Bon Secour Bay, which is part of Mobile Bay.

When do you get a chance to breathe? And how do you relax or wind down from all these activities?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen: </b><br />Sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe. Meditation early in the morning helps. A glass of wine in the evening also does. But the best way for me to unwind is to run, a habit I picked up in college. Running keeps me fit and provides an excellent time for my brain to relax, allowing my imagination to flow. I can plot my mysteries and figure out how to tie up loose ends. This is also when my characters talk to me, and new characters introduce themselves.<br /><br /><b>Liz</b>: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Your latest book (which I eagerly anticipate), “Murder at the Pontchartrain” is number 6 in the Sydney Lockhart Mystery series. How did the theme of hotel murders, in the 1950s, come to you?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b>: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The idea came to me one Thanksgiving weekend when my husband and I checked into the historic Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas, for our annual vacation. Our room was not ready, and we had to wait several hours. That wasn’t a problem because being in the hotel lobby was like stepping back in time. My mind started to wander, and I began to imagine reasons for the long delay. The answer was given to me when we were finally allowed into our room. I was unpacking when a woman came out of the bathroom complaining there was a dead body in the tub. That woman was Sydney Lockhart. I told her I would help her find out who killed the guy, but she’d have to agree to accompany me to other historic hotels (I was already making a list) where she would encounter more murder victims. A wicked smile spread across her face, and she agreed. We’ve been partners ever since. <br /><br />Why the 1950s? Sydney not only stepped into my world but also out of the 1950s, the decade I was born. It just seemed natural, and I didn’t question it.<br /><br /><b>Liz:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I love it! As authors, ideas can come from anywhere! Can you give us an overview of this new book?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b>:<br />To do that, I’ll mention the previous book, Murder at the Menger, set in San Antonio, Texas. The plot centers around horseracing, but in the 1950s, horseracing wasn’t allowed in Texas, so I had to develop a few scenes in New Orleans, which meant a research trip was in order. That’s when I discovered the Pontchartrain Hotel and used it in book number six. The Pontchartrain was built in 1927 and opened as a luxury apartment building. It was turned into a hotel in 1940. Its rich history just begged to be written about. Signing the register were notable guests Cole Porter, Evelyn Waugh, Richard Burton, Rudolph Nureyev, and Rita Hayworth. Tennessee Williams lived there while writing A Streetcar Named Desire. My character, Ruth, Sydney’s bubbled-headed blonde cousin, had a lot to say about Williams and the title of his play, something she couldn’t get her pea-brain around.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLSEUGBSBIles-ZCJzLtVhksjUcy5OsDo7ALQ6He0RYy7pCL3BREB6wwS6RMo7oEwmm8VFM24-L3H8cozMJ178VZv8yzUPAomC4czGiODY-XhHlcDH6RUoefEvG74hEPNBWNYbCyngK_vtZqNf0_bYXd4ZhcXLMV6PND8ifujWqqlKceGnrj7xqb7/s446/Murder%20at%20the%20Pontchartrain.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="446" data-original-width="293" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLSEUGBSBIles-ZCJzLtVhksjUcy5OsDo7ALQ6He0RYy7pCL3BREB6wwS6RMo7oEwmm8VFM24-L3H8cozMJ178VZv8yzUPAomC4czGiODY-XhHlcDH6RUoefEvG74hEPNBWNYbCyngK_vtZqNf0_bYXd4ZhcXLMV6PND8ifujWqqlKceGnrj7xqb7/s320/Murder%20at%20the%20Pontchartrain.png" width="210" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">COMING THIS JUNE!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Liz:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">What's the official launch date for Murder at the Pontchartrain?<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Kathleen</b>: The book will be released June 15 2023, and is up for preorder from my publisher, <a href="https://anamcara-press.com/product/murder-at-the-ponchartrain/?fbclid=IwAR3_ljdqSGF6yN5KDbPWAW9oBBMJQ6rJWxaJx2rEOWW8S5y6vdmmzLHC_OI" target="_blank">Anamcara Press</a></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Pam:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I enjoy your blog <a href="https://kathleenkaska.com/blog/" target="_blank">“Growing Up Catholic in a Small Texas Town.</a>” Big families and relationships are so important to a good story. Will you write a book with all those stories of your Czech relatives as characters?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b>:<br />Funny, you should ask. I am working on a new mystery set in my hometown of West. Locals like to refer to it as West (Comma) Texas to let people know that West is the town’s name and not the state’s region. Adding the comma to the name has become so popular that the local high-school football team has jerseys that read The Comma. The story is set in curtain time with another cast of crazy characters. I’m having a blast writing it; many of the scenes will come from actual happenings. However, I’ve never based my characters on real people. Since I am related to half the town, I have to be careful because folks naturally look for themselves in books. <br /><br />When I write my “Growing Up Catholic” blog, however, I often write about my relatives, but I always warn them ahead of time; actually, I ask their permission. I've never had anyone tell me no; they are usually flattered to end up in my blog. <br /><br /><b>Liz:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Who influenced you in your early days of writing and why?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen:</b><br />The authors who influenced me early on were Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. I read all the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels and everything Christie wrote. When I started to write the Sydney Lockhart mysteries, Janet Evanovich, Carl Hiaasen, Elizabeth Peters, and Martha Grimes were my inspirations. They all write or wrote zany mysteries with quirky characters. <br /><br /><b>Liz:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I cut my reading teeth with Sherlock and Dame Agatha as well. It’s obvious you care about animal rights – is there anything in particular you’d like to say?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen:</b><br />My first series was the Kate Caraway Animal-Rights series. I was influenced by Nevada Barr, who set her mysteries in national parks. I love the outdoor setting and the environmental messages the stories convey. They inspired me to write a mystery with a cause, and the cause became animal rights. While living in Austin, Texas, I was a member of Wildlife Rescue, which cared for orphaned and injured wildlife. Most of the wildlife I took in were birds. It was such a satisfying feeling when I released an animal into the wild.<br /><br /><b>Pam:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I’d love to know the story behind your red boots – if there is one?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen:</b><br />Yes. It was cool in the 1950s for kids to dress up like cowboys and cowgirls. Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, and Dale Evens, and the Lone Ranger filled the airwaves and TV screen. When I was little, my parents gave me a cowgirl outfit, complete with red boots, for my birthday. The rest is history.<br /><br /><b>Liz</b>: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Will there be another book in Sydney Lockhart's '<i>Murder at the</i>...' series? And if so, can you tell us a little about it?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen:</b><br />I’m just getting started on a new Sydney mystery. I can tell you that Sydney is back in Texas, but my chosen hotel will remain a secret for a while. <br /><br /><b>Pam:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Tell us a little about your coaching program? Is this suited more for beginners and debut authors?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b>:<br />My business, <a href="https://www.metaphorwritingcoach.com/" target="_blank">Metaphor Writing Coach</a>, is geared toward helping new authors write, complete, polish their books, and sometimes find a publisher. But I also work with published authors who need someone to edit their manuscripts. My experience comes from being a publishing company’s marketing director and editor. Before I started writing, I taught school. Teaching is in my blood; I love doing it.<br /><br /><b>Liz</b>: Anyone who is interested in Sherlock Holmes would love to hear about your Sherlockian pursuits. How did your passion for this classic detective begin? How can someone wanting to learn more contact you?<br /><br /><b>Kathleen:</b><br />My second trivia book was about Sherlock Holmes. While writing it, I learned about Sherlock Holmes societies, groups of people who gather regularly to discuss the Great Detective. There are more than 500 societies worldwide, and I joined the Waterloo Station Society in Austin. When I moved to Anacortes, Washington, I founded The Dogs of the Nighttime, a scion of the Baker Street Irregulars organized in New York City by Christopher Morley. When we first started meeting, there were only four members in our group, but over time we've grown to about forty. During the pandemic, we started meeting virtually. Now we are a hybrid group, meeting in person and virtually. We have folks joining us from all over the U.S. and Canada. The Dogs been meeting once a month for about twelve years. We discuss the original Conan Doyle stories, but also movies, TV shows, pastiches, and anything dealing with Holmes. We’re an informal group. The public is welcome to attend any time.<br /><br />Anyone can visit my author website: <a href="http://www.kathleenkaska.com/">www.kathleenkaska.com</a> and my coaching website: <a href="http://www.metaphorwritingcoach.com/">www.metaphorwritingcoach.com</a> I welcome emails at: kathleenkaska@hotmail.com.<br /><br /><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Thank you, Kathleen.

imagination. My idea of winter is sitting by the fire with a good book. Or in
the car with the heated seats
warming me like toast. I never want to leave. Best invention ever!</span></span></span></span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">The
snow is lovely when it’s falling and I can see the joy it brings to kids and
dogs. Never knew a dog that didn’t like snow, but as for skiing, skating,
snowmobiling and all things to do with snow…not for me. Skiing I’ve not tried.
I’d most likely break my neck. Never been on skates but I do enjoy
watching the dance skaters.</span></span></span></span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">I tried snowmobiling many years ago and I have to
admit it was fun, but as it was New Years day I probably had enough Dutch
Courage in me to keep me warm. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">When the kids were young we would join a party of friends for a winter barbecue
at a conservation area.The kids would play hockey on the frozen lake and loved to
toboggan. I even tried snowshoes. Disaster! <br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">Where I live, near Lake Ontario, it tends to be milder and although the
weather forecasters keep predicting wild weather patterns and heavy snow storms
it doesn’t always materialize. Road conditions are another matter. Freezing
rain and snow squalls are not for driving in. I cancelled lunch with friends
because of the ice on the roads. Even though the sun came out by noon and it was probably fine to drive. Better safe than sorry. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">Having noted all my dislikes about winter, one of my favorite books and movies
of all time is Boris Pasternak’s ‘Dr. Zhivago’. I read the book in the sixties
and have watched this movie at least a dozen times. The scenes with the house in
Varykino, frozen in time, is a classic.<br /></span></span></span></span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">You’ve guessed it. I like to watch the winter from my comfy chair either
looking out the window, watching movies or preferably lost in a book. When I wrote this the sun was out, and the snow is melting. I can’t wait for Spring but it’s
like wishing one's life away.</span></span></span></span></p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #222222;">

bulging bookcase somewhere. </span></span></span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></p></div><p> <br /></p><p><br /></p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">From Liz:</span></h4><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Book Review - The Newlywed by <a href="https://www.annawillett.info/" target="_blank">Anna Willett</a></span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0VH3hgpfXnGyTMt_9KNXilxnnKD1ACMRKPZPLVS_ojEcpUMoZBam6fscI_ZdDG3VgEBSKAUc4rOfe3FYiRBOZKVsl_pBU9cuZHJGEQtSC5-jXjPO8yIRXtN1YCqcoAqG2RH924uCgHOzsWkUGbUwUkBwyGYzq-8UcVKo6v6bkaN-ZFOD3jp3Ay3bO/s2560/AW-Pope%203%20kindle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0VH3hgpfXnGyTMt_9KNXilxnnKD1ACMRKPZPLVS_ojEcpUMoZBam6fscI_ZdDG3VgEBSKAUc4rOfe3FYiRBOZKVsl_pBU9cuZHJGEQtSC5-jXjPO8yIRXtN1YCqcoAqG2RH924uCgHOzsWkUGbUwUkBwyGYzq-8UcVKo6v6bkaN-ZFOD3jp3Ay3bO/w125-h200/AW-Pope%203%20kindle.jpg" width="125" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I love fictional cold
case stories and this latest by Anna Willett checks all the boxes. The Newlywed
is a perfect blend of cold case detective work, complex characters, and human
emotions. For me a bonus that it’s set in Australia – a setting I always enjoy!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Why did
Jane Wilson vanish shortly after her marriage? How is her husband’s twin
brother involved? What is causing her so much unease to return as a newlywed to
the small seaside town of Seabreak, where she vacationed as a teenager?</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Years after
Jane’s disappearance, and assumed murder, D.I. Veronika Pope leads a new
investigation. Coincidences are not her thing, and the clues mean more questions,
especially when similar disappearances are discovered.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Anna
Willett has created believable, and likeable, characters with D.I. Pope and her
team. The tension and suspense that builds towards the conclusion are
brilliantly woven. I cannot wait to read more of this series and would love to
see D.I. Pope come to life as a television series.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you’re a
fan of good detective work, police procedurals, and an engaging mystery, read “The
Newlywed” – it won’t disappoint!</span></span></p>

But it was worth the wait when we gathered early in January. Over a delicious meal and cozy time by the fire, we enjoyed laughter and also found time for those serious topics that good friends can easily discuss. Did we solve the problems of the world? That would be telling - what gets discussed in our gatherings stays there. The headbands were an extra bonus!<br /></span></p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdev-je6NI8ZmNGgj2OJih26KezDlB3WcH6seZEYGlZV-ZmkKI7Zby0cBzYlZmh6yHrOtSKz1Sx06xgBrdX-i3HD6K606aE7Q_THcYUBzWSEWWx7wDR4vMMgx5GxhBw2zT6u8va5GtnSegTS1Bkww7S52DFav8YVub9w0UEqRnLS1639kkYRaUcreJ/s488/window%20backdrop%203%20revised.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdev-je6NI8ZmNGgj2OJih26KezDlB3WcH6seZEYGlZV-ZmkKI7Zby0cBzYlZmh6yHrOtSKz1Sx06xgBrdX-i3HD6K606aE7Q_THcYUBzWSEWWx7wDR4vMMgx5GxhBw2zT6u8va5GtnSegTS1Bkww7S52DFav8YVub9w0UEqRnLS1639kkYRaUcreJ/s320/window%20backdrop%203%20revised.jpg" width="315" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pam Gloria Donna Liz Donna<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Wishing everyone a <span style="color: red;">Happy Valentine</span>s, or Galentine's Day (Feb 13).

is the summer season and for those living near the water, it can mean
heading to the beach. One is supposed to jump seven waves while making seven
wishes. The tradition hearkens back to Yemanja, the goddess of water. And
before getting in the water, make sure you are clothed all in white, which symbolizes
purity.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">If you’re
in <b>Spain</b>, start off the New Year by eating 12 grapes, each symbolizing the
strike of each hour on the clock. It began in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century,
believed to ward off evil while boosting your chance at a prosperous and lucky
new year. There’s a catch though. You must eat all those grapes in a matter of
seconds – they need to be gone by the time the clock finishes striking
midnight.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">Moving
further south to <b>India</b>, you’d make an effigy of an ‘old man’ to represent the
old year, and then burn it – at midnight of course. A good way to symbolize the
passing of grievances from the old year, to make space for the birth of a new
year.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">In <b>Japan</b>,
people start the new year by eating a warm bowl of soba noodles. This tradition
dates back to the Kamakura period, and is tied to a Buddhist temple handing out
the noodles to the poor. The long thin noodles, which are firm yet easy to
bite, symbolizes a literal break away from the old year.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

just a sample, but its amazing to learn how much food plays a part in closing out the
old and welcoming in the new. <b>Norway</b> and <b>Denmark</b> have towering cakes, the <b>Irish</b>
bang loaves of bread against walls and doors. Three potatoes are needed in
<b>Colombia</b>, but in <b>Greece</b> it's an onion. Then there are <b>Mexican</b> tamales, and fruits in the
<b>Philippines</b>, while in <b>Haiti</b> it’s sharing soup.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhfFwFlUO-HiBqRfLq_MBdsAGIBbR-gcKHvOlixVNoYpNgAqrC75kcwirVieIj921UE9fBVb_T8Hd6y54zJtIekOTYzV-t5r6Zmy2nLfrecxhkCR_d5PajqFLoqlqVVuQny6RBdMHFZdgN-N65unGXj2UuODwOaFDVVc-In-qeimIDJMtKyYXWOHaI/s456/World%20Map.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="234" data-original-width="456" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhfFwFlUO-HiBqRfLq_MBdsAGIBbR-gcKHvOlixVNoYpNgAqrC75kcwirVieIj921UE9fBVb_T8Hd6y54zJtIekOTYzV-t5r6Zmy2nLfrecxhkCR_d5PajqFLoqlqVVuQny6RBdMHFZdgN-N65unGXj2UuODwOaFDVVc-In-qeimIDJMtKyYXWOHaI/s320/World%20Map.png" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">These

and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year in the Scottish manner.
Street parties and fireworks with much drinking and partying, as the New Year
is celebrated the world over. Maybe not as loud and boisterous as the Scots,
but most countries in the world observe the Gregorian calendar. </span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">

said to bring Good Luck for the New Year if a tall, dark haired man crosses
your threshold, carrying a lump of coal for the fire to keep you warm, some
whisky to also keep you warm (inside) and some Black Bun to eat. This is
a Scottish fruit cake with a hard crust and made black with a dense mixture of
currants. An acquired taste. No, a woman would not be the first foot in
the door. Sounds a wee bit sexist to me but maybe times have changed.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_s4xJwLUx-bVVx5dGyEscaLfDLud1Uel9ON7E8OqpS-WwD3vqnOo_jj3YSYQxNr0fneQx5DTjw8M3-Y-Hb9i6a9MtC2BFaDNrF2T0c7qfj8a_FhZnfzkX1SUXpMyd1ebzHxllB3tZH7YSLrKVf5Uhfi0mEhkekxxXi4SVvD9JGqZrWPq1RjOIBZo/s442/Tradition.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="121" data-original-width="442" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_s4xJwLUx-bVVx5dGyEscaLfDLud1Uel9ON7E8OqpS-WwD3vqnOo_jj3YSYQxNr0fneQx5DTjw8M3-Y-Hb9i6a9MtC2BFaDNrF2T0c7qfj8a_FhZnfzkX1SUXpMyd1ebzHxllB3tZH7YSLrKVf5Uhfi0mEhkekxxXi4SVvD9JGqZrWPq1RjOIBZo/w400-h110/Tradition.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div>

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A lot of
Christmases under the tree for me now, and as each new one approaches, I find
myself musing more on the ones further in the past. The ones when, as a child,
you didn’t have a whole lot of things to worry about. When you were excited to
have a break from school for two weeks. When the anticipation of tree decorating,
and Christmas baking kept the days exciting. If <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there was snow – bonus! And of course,
presents from Santa!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I won’t
mention the polishing of silver as one of those anticipated chores. And now
that I own silverware myself I can understand my mother’s delegation of the
task to my sister and me.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Mum was too
busy with cleaning - and baking. Shortbread, Christmas puddings and fruit cakes – yes I love a good
Christmas cake, preferably with marzipan icing! – mince meat tarts, sausage
rolls, and…drum roll – trifle!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can
still taste the creamy custard and warmth of the sherry-laced biscuits. Fortunately, my sister continues the Christmas cake tradition and makes wonderful cakes using our mother's recipe.<br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Of course,
as time goes by and wisdom is gained, my rear-view mirror of those precious
times is now coloured by the realization that not everyone enjoyed Christmas
in the same way I did. Not that we had a lot. Four of us lived in a tiny war-time house
in Ajax. A two-bedroom house often shared with roomers as a way for my parents
to make ends meet. But I’m pretty sure we lacked for nothing. There were always
stacks of presents under the tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can
remember not understanding the excitement my mother displayed upon unwrapping a
gift to find a pair of new slippers, and thought how boring is that?</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisszeE97J5zRbysgRptJYUIWZW0LXG6a22vnLk3QsXWATonEZevsGAVe1Wd-68Fnxonh1_Mx8VLq_Rd8Xz2UXfo7V8NhYLjDLdbICu227aWDc2STg9LBjwgSZi3vX3Dtd-9qAxmQ--8j4vhvQITFprOG-CgfKAu7OGZHKi2s9sAz5SB4g5F3NOORU/s349/Christmas%20trees%20graphic.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="127" data-original-width="349" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisszeE97J5zRbysgRptJYUIWZW0LXG6a22vnLk3QsXWATonEZevsGAVe1Wd-68Fnxonh1_Mx8VLq_Rd8Xz2UXfo7V8NhYLjDLdbICu227aWDc2STg9LBjwgSZi3vX3Dtd-9qAxmQ--8j4vhvQITFprOG-CgfKAu7OGZHKi2s9sAz5SB4g5F3NOORU/s320/Christmas%20trees%20graphic.png" width="320" /></a></div><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There were
letters to Santa, and one year my mother veered off the letter-writing exercise
and had my sister and I telephone the North Pole instead. She admonished us to not
dilly-dally with our verbal requests and that Santa was so busy he could only
listen. An incessant buzzing on the telephone line was testament to his busyness.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Was that
the year I hunted and found the ask-Santa gifts in the closet of my parents’
bedroom? Lesson learned on that score when Christmas morning came and there
were no surprises at all. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our
Christmas stockings weren’t hung by the chimney with care, but instead we left
the woolen beasts lying empty and waiting at the foot of our beds. When we awoke
– as if we slept much – those stuffed socks kept us busy for a long time.
Candies, fruit, rolled up puzzle books, small toys. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So many
wonderful and treasured memories. The black and white photos I can still enjoy
of those times make me smile and tear up at the same time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How true the saying – youth is wasted on the
young. I would love to have one more Christmas with my father and mother and reminisce
with them over simpler times – at least they were to my mind. With maturity comes
the knowledge that they had their problems and concerns, but still managed to
provide the love, warmth and happy times that bring me comfort even now.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What about you? Do you have a favourite Christmas memory? <br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Happy
Christmas, if that’s your tradition, to you and yours and may there be a treasure
trove of comforting memories waiting to be made!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3on3RTMxmgWcQHeo4aq2S0KPRMmHyzoJX3RK1w3yKeAZjMh_KFJcIZ2GZFNOfYRuNLVQ5TteHG-b-8tafAVFPlpVd3x-HvGLAMGJpkPnZ1hQ-igt_BtARRiqHXnA83gmdatrUtpOaRVJ-V7rjSSNUQ0RRD9kxveThxnIPgQEIwOP2K7YUft4iiBy9/s141/Christmas%20crackers.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="119" data-original-width="141" height="119" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3on3RTMxmgWcQHeo4aq2S0KPRMmHyzoJX3RK1w3yKeAZjMh_KFJcIZ2GZFNOfYRuNLVQ5TteHG-b-8tafAVFPlpVd3x-HvGLAMGJpkPnZ1hQ-igt_BtARRiqHXnA83gmdatrUtpOaRVJ-V7rjSSNUQ0RRD9kxveThxnIPgQEIwOP2K7YUft4iiBy9/s1600/Christmas%20crackers.png" width="141" /></a></span></div><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /> </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">From Pam:</span></span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My memories of Christmas as a child are similar to Liz’s but
instead of two children waiting anxiously for Santa to leave presents, there were
five of us. The smell of mum’s baking, and presents being secreted into a
closet. When we were very little, a grey woolly sock was laid at the foot of
our bed with what we considered treasures. A beautiful orange that was hard to
find the rest of the year. A pencil and a book and oh, let’s hope there’s a
sixpence tucked in the bottom. As we got older I remember mum and dad lined up
five chairs. Each had a new outfit, either a sweater/jumper or something we
needed at the time. A toy of our choice or a game like Ludo or Dominoes and of
course our stocking was stuffed with a Cadbury’s selection box of chocolates.
My personal favorite. </span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I had to check with my siblings regarding a tree as I’ve no
recollection of one. I’ve been assured that we certainly did. Homemade
ornaments and some tinsel I’m told but no lights. I do remember being
disappointed to know that Santa had to climb up three flights of stairs in our
tenement as we had an electric fire and no chimney for him to come down.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
</p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Some years we went to church on Christmas Day. I always
enjoyed the carols. I think mum sent us with dad to give herself an hour's
peace and quiet.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
</p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Years later my boyfriend, later my husband, and I were in a
pub on Christmas Eve and I asked him if he’d like to go to a midnight service
with me. We recruited another couple and walked or should I say staggered in
the cold from the pub to the church. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">We sat in the back pew, and as I intended to give him his
Christmas present after the service, I placed it on the bench in front of
me. In between “Once in Royal David’s City” and “Silent Night” all we
could hear was a loud ticking sound. We all tried to ignore it, but it didn’t
stop. The service finished and we stood outside the church and said our
goodnights to our friends, and I handed Peter his gift. Yes, you’ve guessed it.
The ticking was coming from Peter’s parcel. No, no, it wasn’t a bomb. I’d
bought him an alarm clock and why it was so loud I’ll never know.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
</p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">So many stories. First year after we married, back in the
dark ages, Peter went out to cut down a tree at a tree farm. He was overly
ambitious and came home with the most enormous tree that went through the
ceiling and he had to cut a foot off it to make it fit. Or the year my mum was
coming to stay for Christmas from Scotland. Peter was working so I decided to
put the tree up myself. It would not fit in the tree stand so I got the saw out
to make it work. I’m sure the tree when it started out was five feet but ended
up at only three. Ah, never mind. Once I decorated it looked fine!!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
</p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My favorite Christmases were when my children were little
and seeing the wonder on their faces. To me, Christmas is all about the
children and families getting together. There are many on their own so reach
out and be a friend.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>

(Think Goodreads, Amazon, Instagram, etc)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Attend a book signing </span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And of course there are two days in November of special note. American Thanksgiving - this year on November 24.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And November 11 - a day to remember, and honour past, present and future service people. A favourite slogan always comes to mind.

It's called an Alberta Wild Rose and is the Province of Alberta's flower emblem. I'm not sure who planted this one but it gives me much pleasure.

Cooler temperatures and lots of colour abound. The change in seasons is one I relish and can't imagine being in constant heat and sunshine.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I've been missing in action on the writing front as I had a fall and broke my wrist, adding to a bunch of other lovely ailments. My bruising has gone and I'm walking much better. The @#$% cast has now come off - Hallelujah!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Jamie Tremain was in good hands with my trusty collaborator, Liz, whom I'm indebted to for holding the fort. Although we spoke most days I doubt I made much sense for the first weeks with a couple of painkillers helping me cope. Friends and family came to the rescue and I was well fed and looked after. I'm grateful for the attention.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As I needed 24-hour care for the first two weeks, I had PSW's coming and going. That was so interesting as I had a regular United Nations looking after me. I spent the evening hours chatting with women from every corner of the world. It was such an education to learn of Palestine, Nigeria, Ghana, Guyana, Syria, Italy, Poland, Philippines, India, Somalia, and my native Scotland. As the saying goes - everyone has a story. I was privileged to hear many of them. I might even become blase about having a shower in front of someone I've never set eyes upon before. I said <i>might</i>!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So in the coming weeks I hope to be back to my old self. I've saved a fortune not driving but can't wait to be back behind the wheel. Liz will be cracking the whip again so better get my thinking cap on. A good brainstorm is needed about book #4 in the Dorothy Dennehy Mystery series.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm off to look for my Halloween broomstick.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Slainte.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>From Liz:</b></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHpIvKve30okO5yRJKO3_ZEyjVvSKA6cHVLMUsEMKrtvyhr9xJtiSL2vLvpzB6CXQ8D4qROVRw_bHB3CvtijuwFOJ8XF4w9Mi13VgHah_4782QvTwBaHlDr9O42vBR2iLCfpkRz_fiFezSM2D5g9vfKHc8OOh8-SUl_GA_-KLjYJAVyKyVMbWQCIwL/s562/Minnie%20cushion%20edit.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="359" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHpIvKve30okO5yRJKO3_ZEyjVvSKA6cHVLMUsEMKrtvyhr9xJtiSL2vLvpzB6CXQ8D4qROVRw_bHB3CvtijuwFOJ8XF4w9Mi13VgHah_4782QvTwBaHlDr9O42vBR2iLCfpkRz_fiFezSM2D5g9vfKHc8OOh8-SUl_GA_-KLjYJAVyKyVMbWQCIwL/w203-h320/Minnie%20cushion%20edit.jpg" width="203" /></a></div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">If you’re a pet lover you’ll understand. We've had a lovely
cat sharing our home for the past few years. Minnie was born a feral cat almost 20 years ago,
had multiple litters of kittens, fended off foxes and who knows what else but always welcomed human contact. I’ve
known her since she was a couple of months old (along with her sister Trix who died a few years ago, but had also been in our care) and spent many Saturdays, with one or two animal loving friends, taking food to her and the small colony of feral cats she was part of, year round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Over the years, four of those cats were brought "inside" and well cared-for. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m glad the last few years of her life were spent safely indoors.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhYH-QUCIBADtTHjK4EpMqkwZb5QaQY7en3meX_dMAj8fIvCONMJhWjRTYIpBDqlCDHMTixiOEwNNtCpkAaFvUwzEDRCDoPPQ5yOMgncGz0C_ZByKeP5QJb89s4Fvssx9GJ3cBAgUXNqzkmSIzpG-4WD4Ry_OUawlf-19Sfhpq3XPEYBqJ4h_aneCP/s886/Trix%20and%20Minnie.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="886" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhYH-QUCIBADtTHjK4EpMqkwZb5QaQY7en3meX_dMAj8fIvCONMJhWjRTYIpBDqlCDHMTixiOEwNNtCpkAaFvUwzEDRCDoPPQ5yOMgncGz0C_ZByKeP5QJb89s4Fvssx9GJ3cBAgUXNqzkmSIzpG-4WD4Ry_OUawlf-19Sfhpq3XPEYBqJ4h_aneCP/s320/Trix%20and%20Minnie.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Trix and sister, Minnie</td></tr></tbody></table> <br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Well as time does to both human and fur-baby, her life came
to a close this past month. She’d been ailing for a while and I must admit to
turning a blind eye to obvious signs. But as we all know, eventually, you can’t
ignore it any longer and know that as much as it hurts when quality of life has
gone, it’s not fair to prolong the inevitable. We had an amazing vet come to our home - full of understanding and compassion and I can rest easy knowing her physical journey has come to a peaceful end.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdvFZlZ8g-ShNfKBoqSO-tzw76lRtpdNa_tip-nL_BovP6kcx9KGcwXJqGTb7HtzI-LDXDqovoBb1dwrX9cYWSe4QyXiprhgdl-C0kFF6joZCJlvBSBCzemYIJNvl0lNAQcCsPXlL0y7wQulkMhPAsR55Os8dD4XWfoaibJVTuBK3kdjZxCBk2y8Zm/s442/clip%20art%20cats.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="87" data-original-width="442" height="63" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdvFZlZ8g-ShNfKBoqSO-tzw76lRtpdNa_tip-nL_BovP6kcx9KGcwXJqGTb7HtzI-LDXDqovoBb1dwrX9cYWSe4QyXiprhgdl-C0kFF6joZCJlvBSBCzemYIJNvl0lNAQcCsPXlL0y7wQulkMhPAsR55Os8dD4XWfoaibJVTuBK3kdjZxCBk2y8Zm/s320/clip%20art%20cats.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Jamie Tremain will be at <a href="https://guelpharts.ca/event/book-bash-festival-2022/" target="_blank">Guelph's Book Bash</a> - </b></span></h3><h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Sunday November 6 - Guelph Farmers' Market</b></span></h3><h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b> </b></span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67j4NT9Yudqd_iIVIAMCrtqgMj7qMTLUIdJrH5POULEMfYTOceWs3jRPG7dEqtyyJSxXCChqW1X7aKJowlGxPGxSoxtWGIoJufLPJi1mQTLkhDfddHID7F2eVc5Hj8Xen6yw4CfYktHTbikvY-FgBwO53DTC1ZWc5JMZGnyKi6hwfDvI4ryQi-ZyU/s504/Happy%20Thanksgiving.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="297" data-original-width="504" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67j4NT9Yudqd_iIVIAMCrtqgMj7qMTLUIdJrH5POULEMfYTOceWs3jRPG7dEqtyyJSxXCChqW1X7aKJowlGxPGxSoxtWGIoJufLPJi1mQTLkhDfddHID7F2eVc5Hj8Xen6yw4CfYktHTbikvY-FgBwO53DTC1ZWc5JMZGnyKi6hwfDvI4ryQi-ZyU/s320/Happy%20Thanksgiving.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></h3><h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b> </b></span></h3><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> </span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Our Books are available:</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">How can a ghost story be suspenseful and serene at the same
time? The Secret Garden of Yanagi Inn provides a richly descriptive cultural
backdrop of Japanese traditions such as food, clothing, and respect. All
characteristics of Japanese life I would never have associated with a ghost
story. And the gardens!</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">From the beginning, I vowed to immerse myself slowly in this
delicate tale – each scene an experience to be savoured. To understand Mari
Lennox and what has brought her to Japan. </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Each character involved with Mari-san, has been created with
loving care to detail and begs the reader to want to learn more. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is Mari the only guest at the run-down Yanagi
Inn? Why is Ogura-san, the woman who runs the Inn, so hostile toward her? Mari
is befriended by Yuna-san and Honda-san, who both help her discover why she’s
able to see the weeping ghost at the Inn, and the real reason for Mari’s return
to Japan from Chicago. Her grief at the recent death of her mother and a failed
romantic relationship adds human layers to Mari that many readers will be able
to relate to.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a name="_Hlk105747660">Autumn has come to Grant’s Crossing,
bringing the Annual Fall Fair, Halloween, and a murder.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk105747660;">An unused cinema on
the main street has been undergoing renovations, but work comes to a halt when
a woman’s body is discovered buried beneath construction materials. There is no
shortage of suspects, but when Alysha’s partner, Jeff Iverson, is questioned,
then it becomes personal to her, and Leven Lodge. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk105747660;">The murder in
Grant’s Crossing affects more than one relationship – one with a deadly
outcome. Amid their preparations for the Annual Fall Fair, and Halloween, Leven
Lodge’s residents have more than enough to keep them busy. Minnie has returned
and a new couple have also settled into life at the lodge.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk105747660;">The colourful
characters who call Leven Lodge home will see some changes, for Alysha most of
all. But with the support of Dianne, and Jan, she learns how to <i>Stand Fast</i>
and weather the storms this season brings.</span></span></p>

Portable Nine, and their foes, make for an unforgettable cast of characters. You
be the judge if they’re criminals or saviours as they assemble under their
leader and criminal mastermind, Davenport - aka the Mad Marksman of Malta - for
a revenge-driven mission. Reminiscent of an Oceans 11 type escapade but with
deadlier outcomes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><p>

primary foe, the Black Phantom, is a worthy adversary who is often one step ahead
of them. Can Davenport fully trust the other 8 members of the Portable Nine as
they embark on what could well be their last assemblage? Are they past their

For most things I have adapted quite fine, thank you, to a right-handed world. I actually find it beneficial for the time I spend at my desk, I can 'mouse' with my right hand and use my pen in my left hand at the same time. Very useful for when I'm editing and need to make notes. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I did have a Grade 5 teacher who tried her hardest to have me learn to write, right.

I ran the tap water over a few dishes in the sink with the plug inserted, as you do. I picked up my coffee cup and sat down to watch the morning news.

Personally, I don’t need to be connected 24 hours to folks but as it caused untold hardship to some who use Interact for business it must have been a worry.</span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On Sunday I took myself off to a book fair that I saw advertised. I needed to get out of the house and it was a beautiful day for a drive. I’ll tell you about the Bookfair in our August Blog-Letter.</p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> <br /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">When I returned later that afternoon tired and hot, I sat at my computer to check if Liz had been nagging me to get the lead out as she was waiting on an update. No computer and no lights would come on in either my office or the bedroom!! NO INTERNET! Tragedy. The air was blue! If you know me you’ll understand that I’m not tech-savvy and anything electrical is beyond me. </p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I texted Liz who walked me through lots of scenarios. I kept talking about fuses and was corrected. They are now called breakers. I fiddled around with the electric panel and did as she directed. No, go. I said I’d call an electrician in the morning. I went off to bed in the dark.</p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This morning I gave it one last try and moved the “breakers” and low and behold everything came back on. Must have been my magic fingers. So I’m back in business.</p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">So what are these workmen doing now? They’ve sprayed all the outside with, what looks like snow and ice, and are testing to see if it melts into the garage I guess.</p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUkQIobDvhmXJv9vebPykA6Q2LjtCaxEYzSu-eNxIesWSAkWbbuLg1F_us7FqibubeSeXpbONIC5yRSWr63mgTaHc07VysC_xfCD81YXJobctzhYkJOZx3Ykqut65OCsXEVwq1Raxird8tMZim9pwRr2j7U_2Hz68WYo-C9xizdfatqidSKKYuXkk/s1000/292836233_733435321044601_816428236209104000_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUkQIobDvhmXJv9vebPykA6Q2LjtCaxEYzSu-eNxIesWSAkWbbuLg1F_us7FqibubeSeXpbONIC5yRSWr63mgTaHc07VysC_xfCD81YXJobctzhYkJOZx3Ykqut65OCsXEVwq1Raxird8tMZim9pwRr2j7U_2Hz68WYo-C9xizdfatqidSKKYuXkk/s320/292836233_733435321044601_816428236209104000_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p class="p3" style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 11px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I smiled nicely at them and offered coffee and asked when I’d get my patio back.

the parking lot and half an hour ago, saw CanPar pull up in front of the
building. <span> </span>My husband took the elevator
down and was in time to be handed the package we’d been waiting for. Perhaps if
‘porch pirating’ wasn’t so epidemic this wouldn’t have been such a big deal.
But we’ve lost packages within minutes of them being delivered. First thing I
wanted to do Friday morning was check on the status of supplies shipped via Purolator

My formative years were in Scotland and the memories I shared with my family will always be with me, but as a new immigrant to Canada in the 60s, I loved everything Canada had to offer. Yes, my husband and I were homesick from time to time and we tried to return a few years after we arrived. Nope, not happening. As the saying goes... You can never go home again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We became Canadian citizens and settled into all things Canadian. Don't get me wrong, the beauty that is Scotland and my hometown of Edinburgh takes a lot to beat. I've been to a few countries in Europe and some states in the US. Texas and Alaska stick in my mind as well as a trip to the Caribbean.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But you can't beat the east coast of Canada and I was not out west long enough to give an opinion, but I'll go back. It's coming home to Ontario and especially to the Greater Golden Horseshoe area where I live where I am most comfortable living. My children and grandchildren were all born here and are proud to call Canada home.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: red;">Happy Birthday Canada</span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Liz:</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The older I become the more I appreciate this beautiful country I am blessed to call home. Is it perfect? No, and nowhere is. The tragedies finally revealed with our history of residential schools sickened and grieved me. Would I rather live anywhere else? Absolutely not. Don't get me wrong - there are places I have travelled to that I love, Virginia in America is one, and the appeal of a small English seaside town has never gone away, but this amazing country is home.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">With ten provinces and three territories, our land extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and north to the Arctic Ocean - that's about 9.98 million square kilometres. Our diverse population of just over 38 million people speaks to our strengths. Without immigrants, Canada would not be the country she is. My mother was an immigrant, and although my father was born here, he wasn't far removed from his immigrant ancestors either.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">From hockey to Tim Horton's, to maple syrup. Celine Dion to Sandra Oh, to Donald Sutherland. And that's just scratching the surface. Accomplishments? The Canadarm, IMAX, insulin, Joe Shuster's contribution to the creation of Superman, Instant Replays (first used during a Maple Leaf Hockey game in 1955), Plexiglass, and Java computer language. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So much to be proud of! No list of Canadian accomplishments would be complete in Jamie Tremain's world of books without noting: Louise Penny, Thomas King, Robert Munsch, Farley Mowat. L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale continue to be "must-read books".

I read "That Night" several years ago and was thoroughly engaged by her style of writing. So, I recently downloaded "Still Missing", not realizing it was her debut novel. What a non-stop read! I was hooked from the very first page and went along for the ride with Annie O'Sullivan as she relived her abduction and captivity at the hands of a psychopathic monster. A brilliant tale, which I read in two sittings.

protagonist is a young housemaid, Shirley Dobbins, employed with the Avondale
family. Content enough with her station in life, her world quickly changes when
she finds herself working at The Hunting Lodge, an estate outside of London,
England after a family tragedy renders the Avondale heirs orphans. A mysterious
uncle, Sir Joseph Hunting, comes to take his niece and nephew to live with him
at his estate - Hunting Lodge. Shirley accompanies them.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">

At times more like winter than spring or full-on summer heat. I can remember, as a child, heavy snowfall on Mother's Day. The snow weighed down the branches of the fruit trees in our yard, which were in full blossom. But by early afternoon, all traces of snow had disappeared.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And what's a new month without some fun facts. Did you know:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">May had a very different name in Old English. In days of yore May was referred to as the "month of three milkings". So, yes, go ahead and see if you can milk those cows thrice a day in May.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Along with being considered a bad month in which to be married, there's the Cornish superstition that buying a new broom in May is unlucky and neither should you wash your blankets either.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">A personal favourite is, of course, the day that comes after May 3, or as I like to say, "May the 4th be with you."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Historically, May has been a good month for US Presidents. No President has apparently ever died in May (but I stand to be corrected).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Emeralds! The birthstone for May. Typically this stone ranges from a deep-sea green colour to lighter shades. Yellow and blue are also the colour of some emeralds. Emeralds are symbols of fertility and rebirth. **Special note for Gloria Ferris<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And of course, May celebrates Cinco de Mayo on May 5th and in North America we celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. (So this Blog-Letter should come to you in plenty of time not to forget!)</span><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihD_-IcSt_ZAEYqH_Xzu9RSc8tNqL5WgfY04zW-sBkX1HM1kTy_P3LRAKySPbJutahRJOqYSzcgmCqx34YV85cssaxAHI6Mcb6sPNQ9lO0M77apICPRk7SjwfdR19u_0krzpgIcuUI26FIP1WgXDwclsRCCdhPjjmncknvMyI6mIGpvUA7URNkv2gX/s522/Just%20Listen.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="522" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihD_-IcSt_ZAEYqH_Xzu9RSc8tNqL5WgfY04zW-sBkX1HM1kTy_P3LRAKySPbJutahRJOqYSzcgmCqx34YV85cssaxAHI6Mcb6sPNQ9lO0M77apICPRk7SjwfdR19u_0krzpgIcuUI26FIP1WgXDwclsRCCdhPjjmncknvMyI6mIGpvUA7URNkv2gX/s320/Just%20Listen.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Pam's Thoughts</b></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Pam's not thinking of anything but warmer weather. I don't mean tropical, but days where the sun on your face makes you feel good. A walk outside without a parka and boots. Why has this winter seemed so long and dreary? We've had worse winters to contend with but because of the circumstances where we've had to stay home for the good of our health and if we did go out it was with a mask. Yes, the Times are a-changing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So, with all this time on my hands means my writing has tripled. Right? No, that's not the case. Slow and steady wins the race. But Jamie Tremain is chugging along on the third book in our Grant's Crossing series. The title is tentatively called, "Death Acts Out". <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">A wonderful day in the lovely town of Fergus at the Canadian Legion yesterday.

crime podcaster Ella Tate is shaken to her core by the horrific assault and
murder of Josie Wheatly, a teacher she has never met … because not only had
Josie moved into Ella’s vacated apartment three months earlier, but her
Facebook photos reveal a striking resemblance between the two women. Within
days, two people close to Ella are harmed, and she fears that she’s become the
target of twisted revenge from her crime-reporting days. Reluctantly teaming up with her neighbour, Tony, a hairdresser who loves the finer things in life, and Liam Hunter, the persistent detective assigned to the cases, Ella struggles to stay one step ahead before the becomes the target of the final kill.<br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"></span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #717a80;"></span></b></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

plots a narrative and builds characters. The thirteen stories included in the
collection are divided into two parts, <b>Awake</b> and <b>Dreaming. </b>The
six that make up Part I, <b>Awake</b>, explore how the human mind creates
a story in its waking state. Several of the tales in this section take off from
the author’s own experiences—walking in the woods in Vermont, a phone message
from his brother, a stray item of lingerie—while others are based on critical
social issues—the fate of refugees in the US, human trafficking, the plight of
homeless veterans. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;">The stories in Part II, <b>Dreaming, </b>are based
on dreams the author had and managed to capture upon waking. These fully
reflect the zany manner in which dreams can spin off in new directions, often
bringing in new seemingly unrelated characters, some of which are sometimes
non-human, others clearly from a non-contemporaneous past or future. Yet it is
also evident that these stories, too--the first “draft” of which were “spun” by
the mind in its dreaming state--are based on the author’s experiences. A
fascinating collection!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</p><p style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">It’s 1953, and detective Sydney Lockhart finds herself solving
another murder in another famous hotel. The victim is a slick bookie named
Johnny Pine who had his dirty fingers in pies from Texas to Florida. Sydney
tracks Pine to the Menger Hotel in San Antonio where she discovers he’s been
murdered in the room next to hers. And as usual, Sydney is a suspect. With her
partner, Ralph Dixon, handling the case from Austin; or so she believes, Sydney
is working alone in unfamiliar territory. A string of illicit deeds that trails
from San Antonio to New Orleans, leads to more murder. Uncertain of whom she
can trust, Sydney’s only choice is to find the killer before the killer finds
her.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

Shakespeare-quoting parrot, and a photojournalist boyfriend who may or may not
be a spy, crafts editor Anastasia Pollack already juggles too much in her life.
So she’s not thrilled when her magazine volunteers her to present workshops and
judge a needlework contest at the inaugural conference of the New Jersey
chapter of the Stitch and Bake Society, a national organization of retired
professional women. At least her best friend and cooking editor Cloris
McWerther has also been roped into similar duties for the culinary side of the
3-day event taking place on the grounds of the exclusive Beckwith Chateau
Country Club. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">

are definitely old, and some of them are little, but all are anything but sweet.
She’s stepped into a vipers’ den that starts with bribery and ends with murder.
When an ice storm forces Anastasia and Cloris to spend the night at the
Chateau, Anastasia discovers evidence of insurance scams, medical fraud, an
opioid ring, long-buried family secrets, and a bevy of suspects. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Quinn’s always joked
about death, but this summer, death stops being funny. For one thing, her
brother finally undergoes transplant surgery. For another, Quinn’s estranged
BFF, her “blood” sister, is brought into the family mortuary, bludgeoned to
death. Quinn’s haunted by the past, her friendship gone awry, and the blood
oath she’s sworn to keep secret. The police consider her a person of interest,
and someone threatens her not to talk. Quinn is the only one who knows enough
to bring the killer to justice, but what she’s buried puts her in extreme
danger.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US">When Lt. Everett T. Pope is notified of an explosion in downtown Denver close to the judicial buildings, his first instinct is gas leak. No such luck. As Incident Command and Pope's own Major Crimes unit move in, he discovers he knows the intended victims--an Assistant U.S. Attorney--and Pope's former partner, now a private investigator, has died shielding the injured AUSA with his body. <br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US">As ATF and the FBI take over investigating the bombing and
unraveling motives behind the murder attempt, Pope is relegated to a peripheral
role. But the injured AUSA's aunt is a United States senator used to getting
results. She turns to the team that solved the Black Pearl Killer murders with
a very big ask—find her answers and locate the bomber.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

cold case team from their far-flung assignments knowing he's being asked to do
the impossible. The senator, however, doesn't know the meaning of the word. All
too soon, DiPietro finds his team working alongside ATF on a red-hot mission.
One that uncovers a decades' old cold case.<br />

novel about freshman Kymer Charvat’s struggles and triumphs in learning to
break away from home and adjust to campus life in a new state. Kymer hopes to
be an entomologist someday, and luckily, her dad’s alma mater, the University
of Kansas, has a great insect collection and entomology program. With her new
best friends Siren and Mattie—and occasionally a little harmless
experimentation—Kymer explores the iconic University of Kansas campus. But when
the ghost of Carrie Watson, first librarian and namesake of KU’s Watson
Library, hands Kymer an old insect field journal created by KU’s first female
graduate in 1873, Kymer must figure out why she’s been gifted the bug diary. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">

the Junction City jail, the marshal’s younger brother, Kyle Morgan feels honor
bound to follow him from 1888 Liberty Valley to the 21st century. From what his
new sister-in-law, former homicide detective Beth Chambers-Morgan has shared,
Kyle knows a woman he’s only seen in pictures is in mortal danger. Somehow, he
must convince her that he’s traveled more than a hundred years to protect her.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0f1111;"> <span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">The survivor
of a horrendous attack, horse rescuer, Nina Armstrong blames herself for the death
of her best friend who pursued her assailant and vanished in Mount Baker
National Forest. Now, a battle-scarred stranger arrives determined to guard
Nina from the serial killer planning to eliminate the sole witness to his
crimes. Intelligent, brave, Kyle Morgan talks like an old-time cowboy, but Nina
wonders about his claims to be from a distant place and time. Why is she so
drawn to him?</span><br />
<span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">Love may prove to be the biggest threat of all
when survival is on the line. Will they create a future together in Liberty
Valley or will Kyle abandon her and return to the days of yesteryear? What is
home and where will they find it?</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

leave her strong Hasidic community, nor does she ever imagine meeting and
falling in love with a stranger from a completely different background.
Nevertheless, a frightening incident in her life makes her feel she has no
choice but to escape, although she has no real place to go. But her chance
meeting of handsome, kind David Delgado, a Colombian musician, enables her to
make the difficult transition and to have confidence that she can be loved and
succeed in a very different world from the one in which she grew up.<span class="xgmail-apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

The best prank I pulled was when my desk was located outside the small copy room. I always arrived at work at least an hour before anyone else, so it gave me the perfect opportunity to put my plan into action. I'd prepared signs and put them in place. Over the photocopier I posted an official document from HP, advising that new voice-activated technology had now been installed, and provided instructions on how to 'speak' to the printer. The best part was as soon as an unsuspecting co-worker began reading the sign, I had my finger on the print button (all of us connected via a network to the printer so I could select 'print' from my own computer). Priceless to see their face when they commanded "Print" and their copy spit out.</span></p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RRCuKN9XVIiorlSVnHOtFvh7V5fzhCQHsEuLcs-xlLIuAP2XCRgZvZNFyDnXaq4J_TDMkAvXPf8Z9YPCpyiVpcCwBh7-WIl2LTgRo9-fvQr05cwt-l0JPvYh0pzINxh-RfiepYCxnqNjhrveCPXr_YaZhLn0DALdVnQIewSKpIdO1U4BmEWUZ3uA/s378/face%20palm.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="378" data-original-width="377" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RRCuKN9XVIiorlSVnHOtFvh7V5fzhCQHsEuLcs-xlLIuAP2XCRgZvZNFyDnXaq4J_TDMkAvXPf8Z9YPCpyiVpcCwBh7-WIl2LTgRo9-fvQr05cwt-l0JPvYh0pzINxh-RfiepYCxnqNjhrveCPXr_YaZhLn0DALdVnQIewSKpIdO1U4BmEWUZ3uA/w199-h200/face%20palm.png" width="199" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Pam here!

Or VERA, entertaining us in her quirky ways in Northumberland and Tyneside in the north of England. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVOvgTw-kKvdfPGeeuuFs1ELCOJwrHfPMALmWF0JwC9edwMW9TeIuZ12WOGPgFU31WvNJmsUKkhexAjtRg_pDg-zG95kibpEvt-yHyzZU5nN_bYcpAC70sr3yC-LHPanHkMp41iEnMJgFK_ZA0NdAfwSHSVU4p-OibWo9ySKruVBG_rDg3e5KpVwVC/s344/Book.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="226" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVOvgTw-kKvdfPGeeuuFs1ELCOJwrHfPMALmWF0JwC9edwMW9TeIuZ12WOGPgFU31WvNJmsUKkhexAjtRg_pDg-zG95kibpEvt-yHyzZU5nN_bYcpAC70sr3yC-LHPanHkMp41iEnMJgFK_ZA0NdAfwSHSVU4p-OibWo9ySKruVBG_rDg3e5KpVwVC/w131-h200/Book.png" width="131" /></a></div><br />T<span style="font-family: arial;">his new series takes us to North Devon. It's not an area I'm familiar with but by all accounts, it's a beautiful part of the country. It's not all cream teas and thatched cottages. The <b>Long Call</b> has a new Detective Inspector by the name of Mathew Venn. Cleeves' characterizations in her books are what make them so memorable. And this book doesn't disappoint.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">D.I. Venn is mourning his father's death in the Two Rivers region where he grew up. He's working on his first major case since he returned and was totally focused on the body found on the beach. A man was stabbed to death sporting a tattoo of an albatross on his neck. Who is this man? Who hated him enough to end his life? What Mathew found in his investigation was a community with secrets.

exhausted and overwhelmed reading this harsh tale of gang life in Christchurch,
NZ, and I feel as if I have just emerged
from a freakish carnival roller coaster ride. Moments of intense graphic
violence were relieved sporadically when I uttered a laugh at unexpected, but
totally appropriate, humour. The book is populated by inhumane and psychopathic
gang leaders and those who would do their bidding, who occasionally show a glimpse of sentiment.
A bungee-cord ride from start to finish.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US">Gritty,
raw, and bleak don’t even begin to describe the general tone of this remarkable
account given life by the author. Entering gang life – as a choice, drug use,
violence as a means to an end and a never-ending string of creative profanity –
this is not a life I would ever care to be part of. Knowing it exists is bad
enough, but I applaud the author’s ability to peel back some of the layers of
lost lives to bring them to a very realistic level of believability.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US">His weaving
of several distinct character voices is well done, bringing different points of
view to experiences shared by two or more of these characters.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US">Yet some of these messed up, and beyond-lost gang members find a way to connect with the reader so that there is an engagement that makes you want to see how their messed-up lives will end.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span lang="EN-US">As in real life, some lives are restored, and others are forever lost. This is not a book I will easily forget. Marty, Winston et al will lodge in my brain for a long time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

We both slept well before we started again the next morning. I won't tell you what ungodly hour Liz gets her<i> MOJO </i>working. Needless to say, I joined her a few hours later.

Writing most days and listening to podcasts or zoom meetings take quite a chunk of time. Thank goodness for modern technology and captions. Dealing with a profound hearing loss means if a TV show or an online meeting does not have captions I'm out of luck. I lip-read more than I thought, but now that folks are wearing masks it's a bit of a nightmare. But please don't stop wearing your mask. Enough about Covid-19.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The exciting part of January was the launch of our second book in the Grant's Crossing series. "Resort to Murder". If you know me at all, you'll have gathered that Liz is instrumental in getting our latest baby out into the world. Computers are not my thing. Ideas and marketing are my contributions. To kill people off I have loads of ideas but marketing in this climate is a hard one. But I'll persevere.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I had another birthday in January.

Within a short span of time, despite COVID, I came to
understand what my already-retired friends complained about. <i>Too busy, not
enough time in the day to get things done, how did I ever manage all this when
I was working</i>. As with other neophytes, I failed to believe them!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: arial;">But it’s
true! I may not be employed, but I am busy. <i>Jamie Tremain</i> occupies the bulk of
my day, of course, but there are family, seminars, appointments, and occasionally
some housework competing for my time. This brings me to the crux of my retirement.
I’ve always loved to read and anticipated daily binges of reading. A
mountainous pile of “To Be Read” books testifies to my naivete. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: arial;">Reduced
income means reduced purchase options, so I’m finally utilizing and enjoying,
the Kobo reader I’d received as a work anniversary gift a few years ago. I watch for bargains
from favourite readers or am easily enticed by intriguing book descriptions. And yes, there is a growing pile of books in
digital form there as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: arial;">I have
favourite authors, and one I’ve returned to this week is <a href="https://kathyreichs.com/deja-dead/" target="_blank">Kathy Reichs</a>. I’ve
read many of her books, but think her first work – Deja Dead – somehow escaped my
attention. A terrific tale of forensics
and suspense, but maybe not while you’re eating. Even though the book is –
<i>yikes</i> – 25 years old, it still holds up and grabs the reader’s attention. Horrific and grisly murder tales are timeless.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNaZmmCGCexko24MibaG-k9GGSR17fsWLb3e-st4C77mrEBscXWe3PcRWWi9sEIrIsq2iFAFO-nZg67fkPjPEvR3vl6ENd25LQn2n16K_IpO_WgImvWF_Xibnv_UFZNEeXbTwByRdTsUAzz9koqWac7DDlUhxC_wDoOTMl7A3Ab4sE_arvVcz8qrFy=s226" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="226" data-original-width="117" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNaZmmCGCexko24MibaG-k9GGSR17fsWLb3e-st4C77mrEBscXWe3PcRWWi9sEIrIsq2iFAFO-nZg67fkPjPEvR3vl6ENd25LQn2n16K_IpO_WgImvWF_Xibnv_UFZNEeXbTwByRdTsUAzz9koqWac7DDlUhxC_wDoOTMl7A3Ab4sE_arvVcz8qrFy" width="117" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Jamie Tremain News:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>New Book!</b> The second book in our Grant's Crossing series is Resort to Murder.

This winter has been gloomy and <span>dreich.</span> Isn't that a wonderful word?</span></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The first recorded use of the word "dreich" was in 1420 when it originally meant "enduring" or "slow, tedious".</b></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Yes, I hail from Scotland and the <b><span>Scottish Book Trust</span></b> named this the most 'iconic' of Scots words. I'm used to rain, being born and bred in Edinburgh. If it doesn't rain every day, it rains every other day. Or that's what I remember. It's either drizzle or rain that chills you to the bone. My mother always told me it was good for my complexion!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I left Scotland fifty-five years ago, so with Global warming perhaps it's changed. Now here in Canada, each province can be different on the same day. I was complaining in a post a few days ago that it was -13 c. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">A friend from Alberta promptly returned my whine and asked if I would like to join him in his town at -48 degrees celsius! No thank you! Snow has been a hit and miss in Ontario this winter at least where I'm situated near Lake Ontario. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now, what has the weather to do with my writing life? My partner in crime, Liz Lindsay loves a day of rain and she finds she is more productive with a good downpour. I need the sunshine to find my muse or at least I use that as an excuse when I'm procrastinating. And I'm sticking to that theory.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So, the original meaning of <i>d</i><span><i>reich</i>, slow, tedious and enduring,<b> </b></span>seems to fit the times we are trying our best to get through. For the last two years, we have endured this oppressive pandemic and for most, it has been tedious.

How I had planned to spend it and
how it actually turned out are two different things. After another frustrating
year with COVID our family planned, and anticipated, a long over due Christmas gathering. There
would be about 16 of us. Food contributions and gift ideas were organized and all
was good until about 8 days before. Then Omicron numbers grinched our
Christmas. The gathering was reduced to 8 in number. My husband and I had the
day to ourselves. Although we did enjoy a fun, but all too brief, visit from my
daughter and her family early Christmas Day. Greetings and love exchanged outside our apartment door. We talked with everyone throughout the day, and even
though there were only two of us, we ate way too much!</span></div>

sister and her husband was also nixed when three of us felt we might be coming
down with something. So better safe than sorry, and another visit rain-checked until today, when it is hoped they will visit with us for a spaghetti dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

miles from any other customers and then a dress circle seat to watch the show.
Fantastic performance for the next two hours. Highly recommend it, but I gather
it is now closed due to the new variant. </span></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span class="gmail-apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhEuJIbFKJIi4AhqrYW8Z_wVyb_Ip-3Sa2FmX-dgPFqFc3XvtuU4h5mQmZICEUzUGVSawHBohaqGCvZM45aLTup6WI3BKYFahb9V_nyNKa2RKiV8lgzUtcfM4h741VIL-3-22W5LLpZNsLpILJNSPBjfm5TnSbTJW30p0-78WwH0J98TVS1ZG7M5jr6=s750" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="422" data-original-width="750" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhEuJIbFKJIi4AhqrYW8Z_wVyb_Ip-3Sa2FmX-dgPFqFc3XvtuU4h5mQmZICEUzUGVSawHBohaqGCvZM45aLTup6WI3BKYFahb9V_nyNKa2RKiV8lgzUtcfM4h741VIL-3-22W5LLpZNsLpILJNSPBjfm5TnSbTJW30p0-78WwH0J98TVS1ZG7M5jr6=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I’ve always enjoyed Christmas. The shopping for gifts, the eating
of course, and the family getting together. That was my biggest disappointment.
I did see one son and his wife and her mother. No, I didn’t cook the usual
turkey etc. I’m waiting on a new oven but supply chain woes mean late
January. But we still had our turkey. My local supermarket did a fine job and
delivered a turkey already cooked with all the veg, gravy and stuffing, (not as
good as mine though) and they didn’t forget the cranberry sauce.<span class="gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="gmail-p3" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin: 0cm; min-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p class="gmail-p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Being at home so much during this time means getting a grip on
eating. A cookie here, a cookie there. What's a girl to do? No, I don’t bake

Lightning Strike. And then added a third Dorothy Dennehy Mystery – Beholden to

continuing on with our Covid-generated, collaborative, writing project which we began last year as an exercise to keep our writing skills fresh. The project includes <a href="https://www.gloriaferris.com/" target="_blank">Award Winner Gloria Ferris</a>. It’s since turned into a
serious effort to see a new book published next year. Stay
tuned for more details on this wintry caper that has some quirky characters, devious
plot scenarios and stolen gems!

are the in-person events. Book conferences and book launches. Some are slowly
making a comeback and fingers are crossed that 2022 will see us once again
being able to connect with readers and other authors. Video meetings have been
a wonderful alternative and we’re grateful to have that venue available to us.

Dorothy Dennehy fans – our plan is to begin a new case for Dorothy and her team
to investigate as soon as the third Grant’s Crossing book is complete. Ideally,
we’d like to alternate with one book in each series moving forward. Time will
tell, because as we all well know, life often intervenes when we are busy
making other plans.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Keep

I believe we started writing <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Grant's</b></span> <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Crossing -</b></span> <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Death on the Alder </b></span>in 2008 and it was duly delegated to a drawer while we concentrated on <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>The Dorothy Dennehy Mysteries</b></span>. We usually have two books in the works at a time. <p></p><p>When we started our writing career in 2007 this could be a problem, especially for me. The protagonist's name in one book often showed up in the other. Face-to-face meetings to read our work<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;"> out loud helped us solve the name crossover problem. To this day one of the aspects of our writing partnership is the reading aloud of our work. Not that we catch every little glitch, but it's truly beneficial.</span></p><p>Our most asked questions are... "How do you work together? How can you plot a story with two of you?"</p><p>Well, it's not always easy but we wouldn't have it any other way. We live in different cities so working online is the way to go for the most part. We use Zoom or Google meetings but that is not always adequate. Plotting and planning, with a good brainstorming day, set us up until we get together again.</p><p>We each have our strengths and weaknesses. I won't get into our weaknesses. Liz is a tech guru, thank goodness, as I am... shall we say, a hit and peck kinda typist and the computer is not always my friend.</p><p>My background was in sales and marketing so that's my job. Due to the climate in publishing and the restrictions with the Pandemic we are now indie published. </p><p><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Friday, October 1st </b></span>saw the release of <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Death on the Alder</b></span> in paperback - the first in our new series <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Grant's</b></span> <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Crossing.</b></span> This book, and sequels, take place in Canada so they have a different flavour than the <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Dorothy Dennehy Mysteries. </b></span>No launch party, or signing our latest contribution to the writing and reading world.</p><p>If you have purchased this book on <a href="https://amzn.to/3uDUSpq" target="_blank">Amazon,</a> we'd love to send you a signed bookplate to put in your copy.

It's good writing weather so says, Liz! I prefer sunshine while sitting in my office, while if it is a good rainfall she is happy. It's only our hairstyles that are the same!
