After a long hiatus, I finally started working on a novel again this month. With apologies to all the very patient Lindsay Harding fans, I haven’t started working on the next chaplain mystery. Instead, I’ve begun revising the manuscript for the middle-grade adventure novel I wrote a few years back in the hopes that IContinue reading “Word architects”

Dingbatters and Duck Dialect
Agatha Christie was a shy person. Clever as her mysteries were, she felt that, in real life, her wittiest remarks and most amusing observations always came to her too late–when she was alone at home or long after she’d left a dinner party.

Mount Moriah in Primetime
When I write, I often think of chapters in terms of “scenes.” I usually see all the action play out in my mind’s eye before a single pixel appears on screen.

Two days, 9 hours, seven minutes, 24 seconds. Make that 23 seconds!
I’m not a savvy shopper. I love stumbling across a bargain as much as the next guy or gal, but in general I’m a person who goes out with a pretty fixed idea of what I want. If I’m in the market for an eight-roll box of Earth Rated® Poop Bags Dog Waste Bags, for example, IContinue reading “Two days, 9 hours, seven minutes, 24 seconds. Make that 23 seconds!”
I forgot to water the blog.
I’ve been neglecting the blog lately, but I have a good excuse! I’m working on two exciting Minty Fresh endeavors: Firstly, I’m busily drafting A Burnt Island Burial Ground, the third book in the Lindsay Harding series.
