Hey, Becke, I'll bet you don't remember me. I met you last year at Nationals when I crashed the Harlequin party!!

I've been busy since then - sold a cozy series to Berkley Prime Crime.

Found your business card and decided to look you up. How the heck are you? Are you going to Orlando? If so, I'll meet you again at the Harlequin party - the rockingest party there.

I'm delighted to find this blog and will definitely be back.

Hi Liz! I met a lot of people there, but you look very familiar!

You've picked the perfect time to contact me since we're featuring cozies at B&N's Mystery Book Club this month. Why don't you stop by and introduce yourself? We've got a couple authors visiting whose books haven't been released yet, so you'll fit right in.

Eadie - I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I'll be announcing our July features soon, but there's more to come:

August is a Month of Thrillers & Suspense, with a different author visiting every day. (Not weekends, though - I learned my lesson when we had our Month of Romantic Suspense in February. My husband nixed weekend visits!)

And in September we'll be celebrating the birth month of Agatha Christie with visits and guest blogs from authors including the fabulous Carolyn Hart!

Thanks again,

I am ordering a copy of Promise Not To Tell! Thanks for the tip!

Eadie - by pure coincidence, I read that the same week I read Harlan Coben's PROMISE ME. I think it enhanced both books for me.

The Problem with Black Walnuts

Image
First Published in The Landscape Contractor magazine “What You Don’t Know About Walnuts Can Hurt Your Plants” By Becke Davis How many times have you planted perfectly healthy trees or shrubs into an existing landscape, only to have them die for no apparent reason? When that happens, do you call in a specialist from the County Extension Service you diagnose the cause of death? Do you have an arborist check out the remains of the plant? Or do you just bite the bullet and resign yourself to the inevitable loss of a few trees and shrubs? Nine times out of ten, you’d be safe to do that, but the 10th time you could be letting yourself in for a repeat performance. There are a number of reasons why a relatively new plant can die -- planting too deeply (although that usually causes a slower death), herbicide contamination, insufficient watering, root burn from over-fertilization, rootballs sitting in water that won’t drain, and so on. When you are running down a checklist of possible reasons fo...

When We Were Very Young

Image
My kids and I were reminiscing about the books we remembered reading (or having read to us) when we were young. My daughter came up with The Lonely Doll, When the Sun Rose, We Like Kindergarten, Jessica (Kevin Henkes)and The Story of Holly and Ivy. Those were her "young 'un" favorites; these were from her pre-teen/teen years: Alice in Rapture, Sort of (the Alice series -- Phyllis Reynolds Naylor), Just As Long As We're Together (Judy Blume), Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret (Judy Blume), Stacey's Book (Baby-sitter's Club -- Ann M. Martin), California Diaries series (Ann M. Martin), Daughters of Eve (Lois Duncan) andGirl Goddess #9 (Francesca Lia Block). My son liked all of Marilyn Sadler's Alistair books, but his favorite was Alistair Underwater. He also remembers the Boxcar Children books, Grover (from Sesame Street) in The Monster at the End of the Book, and a book he thinks was called "How to Make Money." I didn't recall that one,...
