What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ~William Shakespeare Are you ready for a new contest to maybe win a book or two?

I’ve been giving you a behind the scenes look at how I go about beginning a new book. First I let you peek at a character sketch for my new character in Murder Is No Accident, Maggie Greene. Sunday I told you about how an old house in my town was the spark for the new mystery idea. Then a …
