A couple of notes today:   First off, thanks to Feedspot for naming my blog one of the Top 50 Mystery Blogs.

Also:  I’m taking a summertime blog break for a couple of weeks. No regular blog posts from me until July 31st, but I’ll be back here next week on the 23rd (and again on the 30th) with my Twitterific roundups. Then I’ll be back starting the 31st with blog posts on confirming newsletter subscribers, evaluating a series, reviewing a writing year in progress, and thoughts on teaser chapters.   Hope you have a great couple of weeks!
