I'm embarrassed to admit that my worst mistake of this sort was having someone "wrapping" on a door. What makes me crazier are some of the simpler mistakes, such as "your" and "you're." I can't even read FB without taking my mental red pen other people's remarks.

Is the customer ever right?

by Kris Neri, with the Femmes Fatales I’m old enough to remember when “the customer is always right” was a common business philosophy. I’m sure there was never 100% adherence to that idea. After all, some customers in some situations... Continue reading

Welcome to the Femmes, Aimee! Change is hard for all of us, but sometimes it brings such richness to our lives. (Or so I tell myself).

I was deeply saddened to learn of Mary Alice's passing. They hosted me as a newbie, too, and I felt so honored to be there. The pizza and wine was the best! RIP, Mary Alice.

Welcome to the Femmes, LynDee! That's all true for me as well. There's always a tipping point when the impossible threads come together and I see how all the payoffs will work. "Magic" is the perfect word.

Sally, I agree about romances and cozies sometimes not being given enough credit. I've learned there's terrific writing in every genre and sub-genre.

Commented Oct 5, 2018 on Thank you, mysteries, for what you taught me at My Weblog

Me too, LynDee. Sometimes I think genres are the same underneath, just wearing different clothes.

I liked Necco Wafers, especially the black and pink ones. I also used to eat the candy buttons, and like you I swallowed tons of paper. And any licorice, but especially black. Thanks for bringing back a fun memory, Elaine.

by Kris Neri with the Femmes Fatales I have loved mysteries since Nancy Drew first led me into what has proven to be a long life of crime. I was a mystery reader long before I became a mystery writer.... Continue reading

Welcome to the Femmes, Aimee. Congrats on the new book. It sounds great. I'm a dog rescuer, too.

I'm another Dorothy Gilman fan. As much as I love the Mrs. Pollifax books, my favorite of her novels is THE TIGHTROPE WALKER. I'm sorry some of your books got wet and damaged, but I'm glad you re-discovered this wonderful writer.

Thanks, Mark. I'm looking forward to both classes.

Thanks, Fr. It is true that the internet provides the same shopping experience for everyone.

Mark, I was also a devoted suburbanite until we went smaller. I agree there's a lot to be said for it.
