The Sleuth Sisters Mystery Series



A book about sisterhood had been floating around in my mind for years, not teen-aged sisters or ethnic sisters or friends who are like sisters, but older siblings who know each other's strengths and weaknesses well and have learned to work with the strengths and gripe about the weaknesses among themselves.
One version of such a story is dark and creepy. I ignored that one.
Another version is THE SLEUTH SISTERS SERIES: truthful, often funny, but highlighting what sisters know: We love each other all the time, even though there are times when one of us needs to be smacked up side the head.
The book struck a chord with readers, and I started receiving messages about The Next Book. Okay, I wrote a second adventure for Barb, Faye, and Retta. It, too, has been well-received. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful sister-ship!

Available in print, e-book, and audible (ASAP-audio takes a while) at Amazon.com.
Also Ingram (print only).

    I actually read 3 Sleuths... first and have just started The Sleuth Sisters.
    I love Barb's habit of correcting grammar - but in my Kindle version, when she corrects the Bar and Lounge sign, the correction shows up as deleting "and Lounge" but leaving alot uncorrected! (LOL as I was trying to write this, auto-correct wanted to make it "a lot"

30 Days of Christmas Day 9: A Pet Question

Image
If you know the Sleuth Sisters, you've met Buddy, Faye's mongrel, and Styx, Retta's Newfoundland. You know Barb has formed a tenuous relationship with a stray cat. Book #2 had some horses join the family, and Book #3 took us to the family farm, where there are reindeer and peafowl. In the 4th Sleuth Sisters book, chickens are an inciting factor--Bet you never heard that in a mystery before! All this brought to mind a question for today's post: If money, space, and other possible drawbacks were somehow taken care of, what animal would you choose to get for a Christmas gift? (to add to the ones you already share space with, of course)

I Know, I Know!

 Sleuth Sisters #4 has been a long time coming, and to be honest, it isn't close to being ready. For one thing, it needs a title. The cover artist is booked until mid-February, which is okay, because without a title it would just be ____???_____ A Sleuth Sisters Mystery by Maggie Pill We'll keep the theme of three wooden bars,with a representation of one sister on each. The season is autumn, so I'm guessing she'll choose something orange-ish for the background color, and I suggested purses this time: expensive and highly decorated for Retta, black and business-like for Barb, and a dollar store cheapie for Faye. #4 concerns a lake and the property around it. There's also a flock of chickens in this one, so I've been trying to make chicken allusions ("Is that a chicken joke?" a la Jo Anne Worley for all you old folks). Here's a list, none of which I'm completely in love with. I welcome your input and more suggestions. A C

The Cat Report--Travel

Image
If you read this blog regularly, you might remember I was worried about our vacation and how Old Cat would react to living in a travel trailer for a few weeks. She's 21, though she wears her age very well, and she hadn't been on many car trips in her lifetime. Because she's so old, we weighed the possibilities carefully. Leave her home with a drop-in sitter? She'd be alone most of the time. Take her to relatives? She'd be just as upset in a strange place as she'd be in a camper. Boarding has never been something she enjoys. In the end we decided she'd come along. If it was traumatic, at least she'd be with Mom and Dad. There's no telling what she thought, of course, but Old Cat did okay. The going-down-the-road part wasn't her favorite, but she accepted it if she could crawl into the pillowcase on the camper bed and stay there until the movement stopped. Since she sleeps all day anyway, that worked well. Once we were set up, she did exactly w
