To all those who love to read, I encourage you to go to a favorite bookstore, buy a novel, then sit down to discover a new world of intrigue or romance.  If the budget is slim, go to your local library and check out books by new authors.  It will provide many hours of enjoyment as an alternative to dining out or going to concerts when the bank account needs to recover from Christmas holiday spending.

As the new year begins, I will be sitting in front of my computer to begin writing the fourth novel in the Gumshoe Mystery Series.  It should be out next fall.

All the best from me to you,

MAY 2011 BE A PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
