Hello fellow readers. A lot has happened in just the past six months! A pandemic, the U.S. west coast and Colorado are on fire, shootings, demonstrations with some flare ups, and oh yeah - there is a meteor I heard headed for the Earth. And if that were enough, it is a contentious election year in the US.
Boy, oh boy. That is a lot going on and a lot of stress-making factors. Aren't you glad you love to read? Reading, the healthy escapism, to the rescue. I know I have been reading quite a lot. Some guilty pleasures in there too (The Nikki Heat novels that tie into the old Castle series - I know I am really behind the times on that!) Also, re-reading Discovery of Witches.
But I have been reading a good bit of mysteries too! I have been tending towards historical mysteries. I catch myself talking like Victorian era ("They know not what they say, me thinks" was part of a FB post!) Sadly, I haven't been keeping up with my reviews though. I hope to start doing better on that.
Since I am still staying home, I am trying to write again. That got completely sidetracked with everything. So I am beginning on the fourth Resort to Murder cozy mystery. Here is a little teaser, it is set at a wellness resort outside Santa Fe. Sadly, I haven't been able to do first hand research on this. But I am enjoying getting back into a writing routine.
Share if you have been reading more during this crazy time and if there are a few guilty pleasure titles in the mix. :-) Stay safe folks.

I do so like the historical mysteries like Deanna Raybourn and the Anna Lee Huber, the Susanna Kearsley type of stories.
The pandemic has affected us all in different ways. Here it is a bit low key because when it was lockdown, there was no nonsense of not following rules. No politically correct or incorrect moves. The army is in charge and you all follow the rules!
Mystica, I love Deanna Raybourne and Anna Lee Huber as well. I will be looking into the Susanna Kearsley you mentioned since that is new to me. Reading has been such a comfort. Thank you for being such a faithful follower of my blog over the years.
