Happy Holidays!
Whew! I seem to always be apologizing for not keeping up with my Social Media - and I apologize yet again. Since Thanksgiving I have been working down to the wire on the deadline for the third Hollywood mystery, Saving Susie Sweetchild - a bit darker than the first two, since it deals with the kidnapping of a child. But the manuscript is done, I really enjoyed both working on it and researching it (except researching the parts about actual kidnappings in the 'teens and '20s of the 20th Century. That was pretty awful). The stuff about how child stars were treated in the silent films was pretty scary as well. I HIGHLY recommend Diana Serra Carey's Whatever Happened to Baby Peggy? and Hollywood's Children . Benjamin January # 20 ( 20?!? ), The Nubian's Curse , will be out in January - in time for at least part of the holiday season, since the frame-story is Christmas-to-Twelfth-Night. And I hope to get at least a little down-time, to work (finally!) on more Further...
