You characters sound like they have real depth and personality.<br /><br />One of my daughters worked on several excavations prior to construction and had to have numerous artifacts authenticated. (None of them had value beyond their historic significance, like buttons from Revolutionary War uniforms.) They used the services of museums and experts, usually in academia.<br /><br />And my other daughter interned at the Smithsonian, which works with many other resources to do this work.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading one of your books soon.<br /><br />KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-63136435758578128722016-10-19T07:24:48.928-04:002016-10-19T07:24:48.928-04:00Hi, E.B.

In the first Val book, PRACTICAL SINS FOR COLD CLIMATES, she is actually sent to the Northwoods on business, which is the only reason she'd go. So that works. In the second Val book, A KILLER'S GUIDE TO GOOD WORKS, she lives and works in NYC, and the murder of her best friend occurs in NYC, so Val juggles her time. She's also partnered with Bale, since it's his sister who's murdered, AND she checks in with the homicide cops. So there are plenty of hands at work on investigating the crime. Thanks for your interesting comment.Shelley Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008270063192105529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-36927151662950957942016-10-19T05:32:46.599-04:002016-10-19T05:32:46.599-04:00I'm always interested in how authors enable th...I'm always interested in how authors enable their MCs leaving jobs for the more interesting pursuit of crime-solving adventures.
