I visit two book reviewer sites in one day!

Thoughts in Progress

At Thoughts in Progress, I guest blog about writing hybrid mysteries -- mysteries that combine romance and humor. Mason Canyon asks readers to share their feelings about combining genres, a discussion that is very interesting to me! Thanks for raising this issue, MC!

On Bibiotica, MissMeliss provides a thorough, charming and very flattering review of A POINTED DEATH, and also suggests what food and beverage would go well with this book. Very clever!

Black Diamonds Book Reviews gives A POINTED DEATH Five Diamonds

Black Diamonds Book Reviews gave my mystery five out of five diamonds! Cheryl particularly enjoyed the canine sidekick character, Skootch. You can read her review here -

Phew, this virtual touring with PumpUpYourBook.com is exhausting. I wonder if they give frequent blogger points? Come on Skootch, we need to jog on over to our next stop.

Guest Blogging at Emeraldfire's Bookmark

Yesterday, I did a little guest blogging at Emeraldfire's Bookmark. I blogged about extending the mystery genre through the use of dynamic characters in exciting new professions. Check it out! My appearance on Emeraldfire's blog is part of my virtual book tour that kicked off Monday at PumpUpYourBook.com. Emeraldfire reviewed my book and gave it an A+! I was really excited. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that A POINTED DEATH has an Irish pub in it? Emeraldfire, in case you didn't know, was born in Belfast.
