- About Me:
- I am the author of the Cassie O'Malley Mysteries, quirky stories set deep in the NJ Pine Barrens. For more than 30 years, I have worked in the non-profit sector, developing programs that enhance quality of life. Recently, I discovered that I also have something of a flair for killing people.
I love to write early in the morning. You can usually find me at my computer at 5:30 in the morning, plotting someone's murder.

Tag along as Cassie and her unusual band of cohorts attempt to untangle the clues in A Minor Case of Murder.
"...This fine sports whodunit pays homage to minor league baseball…The story line is a cozy that looks deep into the soul of the heroine as she begins to unravel the motive behind the murder of the mascot until she finally hits a walk off homerun. Sub-genre fans will want to watch all nine innings of this delightful hometown baseball mystery." --- Midwest Book Review
"...As Cassie balances the Skeeter case, her new-found love life, her newspaper job and her friend Cheyenne's mayoral campaign, we are introduced to a large cast of fascinating characters. Jeff Markowitz does a terrific job of fleshing out even the minor characters. We learn to know and like all of them, even the one who turns out to be the one who done it." --- Crimespree Magazine

The Pine Barrens
My readers are familiar with the NJ Pine Barrens, the setting for the Cassie O'Malley Mysteries.
The Pinelands National Reserve is an area of 1.1 million acres in south Jersey, approximately half of it public land, much of it pine forest and cranberry bog. You may have heard on the news that a fire is raging in the Pine Barrens. As of this morning some 18,000 acres on the edge of the Pine Barrens are

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
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.

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.
