This is Scout, the inspiration for Duffy in the mystery.
Scout is eight years old . . . a mix of Jack Russell
terrier and toy poodle. He is devoted, adventuresome
and very popular on Facebook.

I got to meet Ann Bannon (right) at the Golden Crown

A good way to get inspiration for writing is to hang
out with other writers. Such fun to spend a week with

Morrison at Lori L. Lake's annual Rockaway Beach writing
retreat.

Every April, I help organize and run a women's music
weekend near Portland, Oregon. These are my pals who
create it with me.
