by Maria Geraci I had a completely different idea for this post today, but yesterday’s wonderful post by Maggie got me thinking about the writer’s life.

Time was, long ago, before I was published, that I thought that once I had a book out, everything would be perfect. (It’s the same thought process that tells me that if I just weighed twenty pounds less, well, the laundry would do itself, I would always have on the perfect outfit, and my kids […]
Yep, have another new book. This is another Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery, Bears With Us. I have two different series with two different publishers–but small independents.
