Last Library Presentation--at least as far as I know

On August 12th at 11 a.m., I'll be finishing my circuit of the outlying areas in the Fresno Library system by visiting the Caruthers Library, 13382 So. Henderson Rd., Caruthers.

Because the audiences have been small at these venues, I'm not expecting anything else--just happy that anyone comes.

Because the librarian who booked me comes to them all, I'm sure he's bored to tears hearing my spiel over and over. No, it's not always exactly the same because I try to gear it to those who've come, but of course when I talk about my books it's going to be more or less a repeat of what he's heard before.

It will be a relief to be finished so I have my Saturdays free for something else, but I've enjoyed every visit. I've missed a couple of my San Joaquin Sisters in Crime meetings and a Tulare-Kings Writers meeting, it will be nice to get back into the normal groove. 

Of course I'm up for any library who'd like me to come and give a presentation. You can send me a Facebook message or leave a comment with how I can get in touch with you and if it's within driving distance and I have the date open, I'll schedule it.

Depending upon who shows up, I can speak about writing and publishing, different aspects of writing, how to write a mystery, about my life as a writer, and what inspired my different books.

Need to Catch Up With My Blog Tour?

Remember, the person who comments on the most posts on my blog tour will win a copy of the three books that come before No Bells . No Sanctuary is the story of two ministers, two churches, two wives and one murder. Officer Stacey Wilbur and Detective Doug Milligan are a couple in this one despite Stacey's vow not to date anyone on the Rocky Bluff P.D. This is also where she begins her career as the vice officer for the department. An Axe To Grind is about a stalker who loses his head. When Detective Doug Milligan strikes out on his own to investigate a suspect, he disappears.  A distraught Stacey follows his trail. In Angel Lost as plans for her perfect wedding fill her mind, Officer Stacey Wilbur is sent out to trap a flasher. The new hire realizes Rocky Bluff P.D. is not the answer to his problem. Abel Navarro can’t concentrate on the job because of worry about his mother. Officer Gordon Butler has his usual upsets. The sudden appearance of an angel in the window of a fu

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
