A Glance Back – Creme Brulee!
Okay, I know that my whole week was not about Creme Brulee, and we had many other highlights as my husband and I took off for two days to participate in a U.P. Book Tour event at the Erickson Center for the Arts in Curtis, Michigan. But the Creme Brulee did get your attention, right?…

PLEONEXIA
Wild Word Friday! I’ve been reading Bill Giovannetti’s recently released book SECRETS TO A HAPPY LIFE. (Don’t miss this book. It’s incredible. Find out about it here: http://www.secretstoahappylife.org/ ) On page 62, Bill uses the word PLEONEXIA.

32. The Last Stretch
We’re in the midst of horse racing season. We’ve watched those incredible animals compete in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness.

eBook Format
Yesterday in her post on my blog post, “Kindle,” Cissy Ford said: “Sue, are you going to put your books in the ebook format? Please??” Oh, Cissy, I wish I could. You might notice that if you try to buy ebooks online, you will be able to find ebook versions of the novels that were published…

They’ve asked me for an endorsement (a blurb)! I can’t wait to read Thief! Linda writes my kind of books – history and intrigue. Thief is set…
