A little earlier this week, I asked you about your favorite diner. Mainly because Jack Reacher loves them, and so do FBI Agents Kim Otto & Carlos Gaspar. Here’s another question to consider: what’s your favorite snack? Food trucks are sort of the snack equivalent of a restaurant, aren’t they? Stop by when convenient, grab […]

What’s the best diner in your town?
As we all know from Lee Child’s thrillers, Jack Reacher feels very much at home in a good, greasy diner. FBI Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar of the Hunt for Jack Reacher Series are no strangers to greasy spoons while they’re traveling, either. Diners are underrated, aren’t they? They’re often open late, you don’t […]
Saturday Special: American History Quiz
Heads Up: I know birds can read. If you’re a bird, don’t bother reading this blog, though. It’s about road trips, which are irrelevant to you since you can fly (for free, I might add… jealous!!) and it’s about fireworks which you probably want to steer clear of. Oh and I’m starting off with a quiz, […]
A Hunt-for-Jack-Reacher Themed Road Trip
Are you taking any road trips this summer? Part of my next Hunt for Jack Reacher thriller takes place in North Carolina, including the Great Smoky Mountains and a jaunt to Tennessee. North Carolina and Tennessee are so beautiful in the summer, I started thinking what fun it would be to take a Jack Reacher-themed […]
Sunday Special: The Importance of Body Language
We’ve been talking about body language a bit this week because we all know body language communicates at least as much as words do. As readers, we love words and communication. As mystery readers, we’re fascinated by the hidden meanings. So body language is a natural area of interest for us, and usually a source […]
Do You Yawn When You Travel?
If so, you may be denied expedited security screening on U.S. flights. How many passengers on Flight 12 were yawners? According to a security document obtained by The Intercept, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration deems exaggerated yawning an indicator that a passenger may be a higher security risk. Other behavioral indicators that make a passenger […]
Saturday Special: All About Jet Lag
Is it really already May? I’ve been back from London for, what, more than a week now? And I think I’ve FINALLY fully recovered from the jet lag. Man, that stuff is no joke! I wrote a bit about air travel earlier this week because I spent two days on airplanes lately and the Flight […]
Flights So Luxurious You’d Wish They Were Longer
When Jess Kimball boards Flight 12 from JFK to Rome, she’s traveling coach. On the Hunt for Jack Reacher, Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar fly coach, too. I would venture to guess that for most of us, air travel means a tight seat with very little leg room in Economy class, similar to the British Airways […]
Saturday Special: What To Do In London?
As I mentioned earlier, I’m heading across the pond next week to London! I won’t have a ton of free time since I have three book events to attend, but if I find a few spare hours, what should I do?? Of course, visiting a pub is one item on my ‘must-do’ list. If I had the […]
Chinese New Year: Is this your lucky year?
Welcome to the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Goat! In the days before Chinese New Year, traditionally Chinese people prepare for by cleaning house to rid their homes of any ill-fortune and make way for incoming good luck. A year of good luck sounds great to me, so we cleaned house on Monday! […]
