- About Me:
- I live in Southern California. I'm a member of Sisters in Crime, and between writing my mystery novels, I set up author panels in Orange County for the group. If you're an author, let me know, and I tell you how you can participate in one of these events.
- Do you have a blog site?

- All the old classics, Raymond Chandler, et al, but lately I've been reading books published by Echelon. A few other writers whose books I highly recommend include Ken Bruen, Denise Hamilton, Sue Ann Jaffarian, and Jason Starr.
- Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
- All bookstores are wonderful, but the ones that stock my books are better than the rest of them. And of course, my books are available online at all of the bookselling sites. But having said that, when you’re in Berkeley, CA stop in at Moe’s.

Southern California Writers' Conference
This past weekend I had the honor of being the morning keynote speaker at the Southern California Writers’ Conference held in San Diego. I had a terrific time, and met a number of wonderful book people there, for example; my editor, Mike Sirota; Michele Scott, the talented author of the Wine and Horse mysteries from Ber… Continue

Good Stuff
On the first page of his new novel, “Overlook,” Michael Connelly mentions the CD, “Frank Morgan, Live at the Jazz Standard.” I posted a snippet of that CD in the music slot to the left.
In the book, Bosch is at home in the dark of night, playing the CD, listening to the cut, “All Blues." The snippet I choose to post here is

Trip North
This weekend I left my DNA all over the place in a few book selling establishments in Berkeley, CA, fingering classic mystery books of the past.
Cody's, the legendary bookstore on Telegraph, is gone now but the smaller branch on 4th is still alive and seemed to be doing well. B

Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
