After decades of technical and content writing, this old white hippie is deep into revisions on my 2nd book of fiction, a cozy mystery. Happy when I can wear shorts and a tee shirt every day. #SinC / Guppies Member. https://susannasullivan.com

OK, Santa, I've decided what I want for Christmas. I want a #carry-on suitcase like this, with Tardis properties, that never weighs more than 10 pounds no matter how much I stuff in it. Thanks, big guy.

Quote from BLOOD SYMPATHY by Reginald Hill
Every week in my Substack I share quotes that have caught my fancy. Here's one, from British crime writer Reginald Hill:
What did I love? The notion that someone who write, not one, but an entire series of travel guides about towns nobody wants to visit.

#AmReading: THE CLOCKS by Agatha Christie. Colin Lamb is walking down the street one day, looking for an address that doesnβt seem to exist. A young woman races out of the nearest house, screaming, and crashes into him.
Poirot concludes it must be a very simple murder.

Every week I pull out an interesting quote (or two or three) from what I'm reading. This one is interesting because of the narrator's opinion about what's "normal" on the streets of Cairo.

#AmReading: MURDER IN THE WINTER WOODS by Katie Gayle. It's nearly #Christmas, and the village is all dressed up, with the Christmas Market in full swing. Then tragedy strikes when the local taxi driver is found dead on a dark road, run over by a hit-and-run. Or is it?

Moving from summer into cooler weather is something I always fight against. Now I concede. I've lost the battle this year. Two days ago I put away my shorts and pulled out the jeans. Today it's a long-sleeved shirt. Sigh.
