Magpies
Magpies are not my favorite bird. They’re striking with vivid blue-black and white plumage. But they’re also loud, annoying predators. I’ve had to rescue baby robins from them. I’m forever shooing them from the peanuts I set out for the squirrels. At a safe distance, they watch me through the sliding glass door and, as soon as I walk away, they swoop down to steal a nut. Then they perch on the fence calling, “Hey, human! Neener, neener, neener!” Brats.…

Interview with a Prickly Protagonist
Ever want to sit down and chat with a favorite fictional character? Assaph Mehr, an Australian author, developed an award-winning blog that does exactly that. The Protagonist Speaks publishes “celebrity couch interviews” with authors and their fictional characters. Recently Assaph hosted my interview with Tillman Rosenbaum, the aggressive, cynical attorney who’s the male lead in my Tawny Lindholm Thriller series. Warning: Tawny hasn’t had much luck tempering Tillman’s foul mouth, although she’s opened his soft underbelly. Hope you enjoy…
