My daughter has been working on a geography project…you know, project just doesn’t seem to convey what she’s been doing. Let’s call it an opus. It’s one month–a study of one country.

Hey folks, Susan Sleeman of The Suspense Zone just posted a new review of Moving Target. Here’s a snippet:

I have to take a moment of personal privilege to say thanks so much to my friends in the Panama City Beach area who came out to the Borders bookstore yesterday!  I was so touched that you would take time out of your busy Saturday to stop by.  For those of you who weren’t able [...]
