A Flapper’s Fashionable Accessories to Murder by Sara Rosett

By

One of my favorite parts of writing Murder at Archly Manor was researching the 1920s, especially the fashions—the cloche hats, bobbed hair, and the short hemlines.  Like every viewer of Downton Abbey, I knew the well-dressed lady didn’t leave home without her hat and gloves. I also learned about some fun accessories that I didn’t […]

Vile Villains — a guest post by Laura Childs

By

Guest Blog by Laura Childs, New York Times bestselling author of Glitter Bomb, a New Orleans Scrapbooking Mystery. Call me crazy, but I just love to write villains. Villains are nasty, vile people who sneak stealthily into my very first chapter, create havoc, murder some poor unsuspecting character, and then, while the crowd howls bloody blue murder, […]

Guest post A Stewed Observation by Karen C. Whalen

By

Follow Your Dreams Dreams are almost always related to goals. In fact, I would say all dreams are goals. But not all goals are dreams. You’re working toward your college degree? That’s a goal. It might be a dream, too, but not necessarily. You’re applying for a job to earn enough money to pay off […]

The making of a chocolate murder – a guest post by Dorothy St. James

By

The Making of a Chocolate Murder I was one lucky duck when two springs ago my publisher fell in love with the idea of combining two things that make me happy: mystery novels and chocolate. Actually several publishers were excited about the idea of this mystery series. And when you have more than one publisher […]

What in the world is she up to now? A guest post by Mary Marks

By

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SHE UP TO NOW? or, My Late Life Adventure by Mary Marks I was always a rebel, fighting against the “old order” from the time I was a teenager in the early sixties until now. There’s just something about institutions and authority that breeds mistrust in my very depths. My […]

Hero sandwich – a guest post by Kathleen Valenti

By

Hero sandwich I’ve been thinking a lot about literary heroes, specifically the nature of their heroism.  If you watch blockbuster films—or read books with the same designation—there’s sometimes a suggestion that “hero” equals kickboxing, car-chasing, baby-saving and other over-the-top verbs that most of us don’t perform on a daily basis. And all that’s wonderful. I’m […]
