Unfortunately, my hubby has turned into a homebody and doesn't want to travel anymore, but that's sort of worked to my advantage - nowadays I'm so busy trying to capture everything for later I don't have time for pleasantries.

With the travels I have done in Europe, one of these days I will have to set a story there. Loved the photos. Makes me want to book a flight for another trip.<br /><br />I recently read A Midsummer's Eve A J Hawkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648994755202423226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-47155208634184958972011-05-05T06:08:05.773-04:002011-05-05T06:08:05.773-04:00Thank you so much for visiting, Donna.

I'm querying agents. <br /><br />But I envy the rich setting your travels must add to your books. A number of women in my book club love what they've called British mysteries.

But according to Google, it has quite a history. I feel enriched.<br /><br />Thanks, Donna, and Thanks, Deb, for the great Barbara Earlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446880500278578170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-41879836208711500512011-05-04T14:39:51.436-04:002011-05-04T14:39:51.436-04:00Oh my!

As I wrote the acronym for it, both Donna and I were astounded that it spelled AMEN. :o) But I was so entertained with Donna's voice, and her ability to bring the traditional British cozy murder mystery up to date.
