Guests at the Mystery Lovers’ Kitchen

ApplePie-2 I’m really fortunate to have some wonderful writing friends—both online and in the flesh. It was my Sunday on the Mystery Lovers’ Kitchen blog to host a mystery-writing guest. Jim and Joyce Lavene–who have written more than 40 books for Berkley Prime Crime, Midnight Ink, Avon, and others—are great friends of mine who live near me in Midland, NC.

One of their series is a Renaissance Faire series for Berkley and they shared their recipe for Appyl Taryt (and some 16th century epicurean history). Hope you’ll pop over and say hi.

    Wow – over 40 books. I’m working on my fourth. I can’t imagine 40! What an amazing accomplishment. Thanks for sharing – I’ll hop on over and say, “hello!”

    I agree with Debra – over 40 books. How many people today even read that many books anymore? Great accomplishment.

    Thanks so much, Diane—how cool!

    Debra–Isn’t that amazing? I’ve learned so much from them. They’re able to handle multiple series at a time by using spreadsheets.

    Warren–They work very hard at it. Thanks so much for stopping by!
