“What we could consider magic, may just be science that we don’t understand yet.” ― Patricia Robin Woodruff You all have been wonderful playing my mystery game this time. This is the last mystery picture for this game, but you can be sure that for weeks now, every picture I take or see, I’ll be assessing it as to whether …
You’ve still got time to enter my giveaway chance to win one of my books. I said the way to enter in my last post was to name one of my books that had a dog or cat character or the name of the dog or cat. Thanks to those of you who have entered. I’ve been a little surprised …
One of the most fun things about being a writer is getting notes, messages and letters from readers. When I had my first book published a long time ago, any message I got from a reader came by mail since that was before internet days. So a reader had to take pen to paper, add a stamp and send the …
“As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.” (Carl Van Vechten) My dog, Oscar might take offense at that quote. Oscar’s a great writing companion, but cats …

Have you been to my little town of Hidden Springs where Deputy Sheriff Michael Keane tries to keep the peace? It’s a sleepy little town that might remind you of other small towns you’ve known. The kind of place where everybody knows everybody and people sit around on front porches and share stories. Sometimes about themselves or their families and …
Hidden Springs mystery 2 isn’t ready for readers yet. It’s still going through edits and won’t be released until July 2016. That sounds like a while yet, doesn’t it? We still have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, and plenty of other days to fill the time before you’ll have a chance to read my …
Maggie Monroe Callie Thank you, everyone, who suggested a name for the calico cat who is going to make an appearance in my third Hidden Springs mystery, my work in progress.
