Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers out there!

I know I have talked about my son living here in San Antonio and our daughter living in Washington, D.C. I’m a first-time grandmother of the most terrific two month old (and I’m very un-biased in saying that!) – and due to this awful Coronavirus, my husband and I haven’t been able to hold our favorite grandbaby… let alone be in the same city as she is. I am so thankful that we live in a day where we can still be in contact by phone or by the visual technology that is available today!

Stay safe and Happy Mother’s Day! 

Sheila Connolly Will Be Missed By Many

Unfortunately, we have lost another in the Cozy author community recently. Sheila Connolly passed away toward the end of April at the age of 70.

Sheila Connolly was the author of multiple very popular Cozy Mystery series, including the Orchard Mystery Series, the Museum Mysteries Series, the Relatively Dead Mystery Series, the Victorian Village Mystery Series, and the County Cork Mystery Series, the last of which I wrote a blog entry about. Under the pen name Sarah Atwell, she was also the author of the Glassblowing Mystery Series.

Rest in Peace, Sheila. You will be missed by many, and our sympathies go out to her family and friends.
