Love how you’re highlighting states … great! Try Minnesota! Lots of winter, lots of writing up there. Ha! Texas has a few as well (where we are now) ….. Isn’t it fun finding out where our fav authors are from and what hobbies, circumstancs, etc., motivate them to write as they do? Thank you again!!!

I’m glad you’re enjoying the state themes, Jackie C. I am currently reading one of the authors on the Mystery Books that Take Place in Minnesota, and am really enjoying her (Joanne Fluke) book.

Danna, Thanks for reminding us about Peggy Webb. I really enjoy her books but for some reason have forgotten about her. She seems to be one of the good ones.

Linda C, I often “remind myself” of authors who I have forgotten about, also.
