Do the characters in the stories you read come to life in your head? And in your heart? Is there some special something about the book or the characters that makes that happen for you?

“A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.” — Marion Garretty Do you have sisters? I do. I have two sisters who are also my best friends.

That gives me a little more courage to continue on with this game and to …
You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. (Generally attributed to Abraham Linclon with some Quotation Experts doubting he ever said it.) As Yogi Berra is quoted as saying (true or not) “I haven’t said half the things I said.” …
“The less you reveal, the more people can wonder.” ~Emma Watson A few years ago, maybe when I published my first Hidden Spring mystery, Murder at the Courthouse, I decided to celebrate writing a mystery by having a mystery photo game.
