Right now I'm rereading all your Zoe Chambers mysteries and enjoying them just as much as I did the first time. I really liked reading the back<br />page telling about your life on a farm and being and EMT for an ambulance just like Zoe Chambers. No wonder I'm enjoying your main character Zoe Chambers so much. I imagine your husband is like Pete, too. I think I have all of your Zoe Chambers books, but in case I don't, please let me know which ones are your latest books in the series.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-11752134406701599482019-05-13T11:51:11.324-04:002019-05-13T11:51:11.324-04:00KM, you are so right.

Since my class is in Connecticut, I only get one very small look at the law.

In both cases, women have had to lead the efforts against the boys-will-be-boys attitude that kept punishment minimal.<br /><br />If I ever stay in one place long enough, I'd love to participate in a citizen's police academy.Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
