One of my critique partners, Maryanne Romano, sent in our names--Linda Lovely and Tom Hooker (my husband). They ended the segment with someone (me) who'd chosen not to hypenate her names. But, hey, Linda Lovely-Hooker might have sold more books.

Fabulous how the post links the flow of water to everything in mystery writing from scattering clues to portraying ''still water runs deep'' hidden emotions. Kudos, Linda! And congrats on your books. A long way from where we met at SIBA in S. Carolina, no? PS: BTW, what's with NPR?

Your books show the same creativity. What a disaster, but you've managed to turn it into something productive.

Used for watermelons and iced tea every summer.

Thanks. Enjoyed it immensely. Am considering replacing my frig with an old-fashioned ice box. It seems safer. Really, am very impressed with this post.

I just realized water is significant in both your already published books. It's a theme, one I hope is limited to fiction from now on. :-)<br /><br />Nice post, Linda.Ellis Vidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918353154644739285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079828765401326768.post-34140912551146949982012-09-10T17:37:36.179-04:002012-09-10T17:37:36.179-04:00Thanks, Christy.

There are a few pluses--a chance to clean behind the stove. Oh, my.
