DR>Howdy everyone; DR>Have any of you out there read One For the Money by Janet Evanovich? DR>If you like funny, witty detectives, her protagonist, Stephanie DR>Plum is it. DR>this is JE's first book in the genre and I'm hoping she'll write DR>another featuring Stephanie. It takes place in Trenton, N.J. _Two For The Dough_ is out in pb and _Three To Get Ready_ is in HB, if I remember correctly. The first two are good reads and I'm confident that the third is as well.

FW> Thanks for the update, Hi Suzze and Suzanne; After I left this message to Suzze, I read a message in the writing conference from Carl Thames saying Kevin hasn't been able to do mail outs due to lack of $$$. He said if anyone wanted to help to get in touch with him (Carl) via e-mail: deb@realkids.com or to drop a line to Kevin at the e-mail address Suzze posted above. That's the latest I've heard. Hope this helps. I'm going to drop Kevin a line tomorrow. Gosh, if it's lack of dollars, I'm willing to contribute something. Dorothy FW> Suzanne FW> -!- Maximus 3.01 FW> !

Well, there was some violence in it to be sure, but overall the story was funny so I guess I overlooked that part of it. FW> Reminded me of another funny mystery I really liked: Bank Robbers by FW> C.Clark Criscuolo. Thanks, here's another to put on my to read list. It's getting longer everyday. DR>Whatcha all reading out there? All this bad weather makes for good DR>reason to curl up in front of the fire and read. Too cold to go out and DR>play and there's sure not a heck of a lot on T.V. FW> Cold in San Diego? I didn't think it ever got cold there! Well I suppose it depends on how one defines cold. We're pretty spoiled here so anything below 50 is cold. We do get snow in our mountains. In fact, five people were found frozen to death this week. Illegals crossing the border and not properly dressed. Of course this doesn't happen very often, but we've had severe weather all over the country this winter. We are FW> having beautiful, clear, cold days right now. Sunshine in the winter FW> is a rare and wonderful thing in my area (suburbs of Portland, Oregon). FW> I love to get bundled up and go out into it.
