I love, love, love the Bogey Man mysteries. Always great to learn more about Marja.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, Thank you for your enthusiasm! Great way to start the day, and I feel the same way about both of your series.
DeleteMarja,
ReplyDeleteI love both of the series that you write but I'm partial to your Sandi Webster series. I want to mention your book trailers. When I saw the trailer for "Old Murders Never Die," I immediately ordered the book. Very enticing!
I'm working on a trailer for my mystery novel right now and I have the deepest admiration and respect for the job you did with yours.
Pat, Thank you so much. Between you and Marilyn, my head is going to swell. :) And thank you for the plug for my book trailers, too. I can't wait to see your book trailer.
DeleteI have to laugh when I watch the trailer for Old Murders though. It says, "One last question," and then I ask about four more questions. Can't wait to see yours!
I'm with Patricia, I quite like Sandi.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Brenda. Sandi's been a lot of fun to write, and I even let her take over my blog one time. She and Chris (Bogey Man) are completely different characters, and I have a great time with both of them.
DeleteJournalism training is such great training. Working on a weekly column must be one of the many reasons she's such a great writer!
ReplyDeleteAh, John, thank you! It was a very small newspaper, so I think people were more forgiving. It did require quite a lot of research though. Thank you for stopping in.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a diverse background, Marja, and I've always heard that makes for a better writer. In your case, it must be true. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteVariety is the spice of life? Sometimes it IS life. Thank you so much for stopping in, Earl.
ReplyDeleteNot only are your books great, but your book trailers are the best.
ReplyDeleteMore fun info about you, Marja. (I Google+ this post!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne! I just got home from work and you made me smile.
DeleteAgree with Lesley Diehl you have great book trailers. Have found your recommendations for reading a plus especially "Bogey" who is one of our favorite characters. As stated on another blog our favorite book is: OLD MURDERS NEVER DIE.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jake! That happens to be my favorite, too. Well, maybe it's Bogey Nights. Hmm. I'll have to think about that. Thank you for commenting.
DeleteLesley, Thank you so much! I didn't know anyone was watching the trailers, so you're all making me feel pretty good about them, and I'm so pleased that you've enjoyed the books. I recently read Angel Sleuth and truly had a good time with it.
