That's not a good excuse for not replying to the fun comments folks wrote, but it is the reason I'm stuck with! Surgery went well. Every time I do something funky to a joint I end up with ideas for the books. One of them (Vague Images) has a murder in the hospital. I think hospitals offer a lot of opportunities. In the tenth book (The Unanticipated Appeal, out in late spring 2016) hospital happenings also factor in to the plot. Thanks so much, and I'll pass on the compliments on the covers!Elaine L.

That is perhaps, part of the attraction for Elaine's books. But I also love her characters. More please!E. B.

We authors can write ourselves into corners if we don’t think far enough in advance.<br /><br />I agree with you that much of the Jersey shore has maintained its character from fifty years ago. I think because it was primarily middle class folks who went there, whereas the rich and famous headed to eastern Long Island or Connecticut or Rhode Island. (No facts to back that up, just an observation.)<br /><br />~ JimJim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
