Do you like trains? Do you like history?

We were so happy today to see that one of our readers at Goodreads.com gave this book a 5 Star Rating.  It just made our day.  We hope that you will enjoy it, too.

Two years ago, my husband and I booked tickets for a sleeper car on the famous California Zephyr, in order to pretend that we had won Amtrak's Writer's in Residence contest. Although we did not win the contest, we considered this trip a "working vacation" and brought along both of our computers in order to be "Writers".  Without the distractions of Wi-Fi--that means no internet and no cell phone connections--we went back to basics and wrote, with only the beautiful scenery of the Sierras, the painted desert of Utah, and the canyons of the Rockies as company.  This book is the result.

Just in time for Mardi Gras

Do you like New Orleans?  Do you like Nancy Drew?  If so, you will enjoy this humorous and PG-rated story that especially targets women baby boomers who grew up reading and loving the Nancy Drew series. The teenage sleuth in this story goes on vacation with her father and friends to the French Quarter. What starts out as a sight-seeing trip changes into a murder/mystery when a docent at Oak Alley Plantation is murdered. You don't have to be a Nancy Drew fan to like this book: part travelogue, part ghost story, this book mixes voodoo, ghosts, and bayous into a spicy gumbo of a whodunit.
