Right now I’m in between writing projects but plan to begin early in 2021. I discovered in this year of the pandemic that I don’t juggle […]
Three Wishes by Debra H. Goldstein I’m tired. It’s been quite a year – lockdowns, masks, two surgeries (removal of the hardware from the foot rebuilt a few years ago and cataract), building and moving into a new house, prepping and selling a house, finding a place to live during the weeks between the 7 […]

My late-1800s Quaker Midwife Mysteries are […]
by Kay Kendall This post marks the 100th one I’ve made here on the Stiletto Gang. I am writing it on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. You know that one, don’t you? It gave us women the right to vote, at long last. So […]

For the next few months, while Linda takes a short break, watch for guest posts featuring new books and authors. BSP and Passing it Forward by Debra H. Goldstein It took me months to learn that BSP stands for “Blatant Self Promotion.” Like many authors, I’m basically an introvert who struggles to self-promote. Although I […]
