While they used to love mystery, now that I write it, it can't be that special. I swear, I rarely say a word about my writing. Most people don't know I write. Don't know I've had stories published. I have freaked my husband our on little bits of knowledge that I have from researching for my mss.E. B.

Each participant would put in five dollars and the person who came closest to guessing how he had been killed and locked inside his office would win the pool. For some reason when he arrived he was not amused. A guilty conscience, perhaps.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-81463813944974822722012-04-24T11:07:58.472-04:002012-04-24T11:07:58.472-04:00Gloria, what a hilarious story about realizing how...Gloria, what a hilarious story about realizing how to poison Lucy!

And when I've gone to mystery events, I often guess who done it before others. I even won a weekend<br />at a resort hotel in the area, too.<br /><br />However, writing mysteries has its downside, too. Once while in a visitor center in a park in Virginia, I suddenly exclaimed "I know how to poison Lucy now!" It was something I saw in a nature exhibit, I think. Anyway, my sisters were alarmed and tried to shush me while looking around to see if anyone else heard.<br /><br />Also, some people hesitate about eating at my house when they see several books about poison on my library shelf.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-1043653937229095182012-04-24T09:42:04.274-04:002012-04-24T09:42:04.274-04:00Wow, Kara, you are THE mystery maven!
