I had to take a break from writing the last part of the new Bennett Sisters Mystery, as we traveled north for the summer to Montana. (Note: it is not summer. It is snowing.)

Last night as I went to bed, thinking about what I would read, I thought: Oh, I want to hear what Aunt Eleanor has to tell Merle and Annie. Then I realized that was *my* story and I hadn't finished it yet! So... off I go today to find out about the old spinster aunt and her gossipy tales. Writing a novel is such a voyage of discovery.

Coming soon in 'The Last Letter from France.' 🥂
