On Thursday I was wishing you a Merry Christmas. Now, I’m wishing you a Happy Thank You Note Day. It’s an actual thing — I’m not making this up! See? So, are you a thank you note writer? This week we did a #tbt to days of yore re-visiting Plant’s Palace. In that vein, let’s harken […]

The Best Craft Beer Brewery in Tampa
Are you a fan of craft beer? Although I’m more of a red wine drinker, the craft beer craze is increasingly popular. In the False Truth Serial, Jordan Fox finds herself at a craft beer brewery that turns out to be the crossroad of good friends and well-connected enemies. One of my favorite real-life craft beer breweries […]

Investigative Journalist Jess Kimball’s son was kidnapped ten years ago when he was a toddler.

How West Point Inspires Honesty
I love these little minions for their honesty! Here’s one of their latest truisms: Are you a cash stasher? I’m not. But if I was, I like to think I’d be a law-abiding cash stasher. As a fiction writer, I do tons of research to make sure every detail in my books is definitely plausible. On […]

Dominick Dunne’s “Greatest Hits” Online

Knowing Agent Carlos Gaspar, […]
