In this case, he is searching for the Duke’s stolen painting, which is the key to a much larger mystery. Lenox has to unravel the various half-truths and hints to figure out what is really going on, since the Duke doesn’t actually seem interested in recovering the paining.

Stories with Strong Fathers
Time for a Father’s Day blog post! It can be hard sometime to find representations of good fathers in literature. We have absent fathers, abusive fathers, and fathers who just drift in and out of the background. I confess that many of my characters have fathers who fall into these categories. They tend to come from traumatic backgrounds and/or families with secrets. But there are a few important exceptions.

Share A Story! Myths Magic and Mayhem
May is National Share a Story month! There are so many great stories out there. When I was deciding what to do for my blog, I told the authors I was talking to that this year’s theme was Myths, Magic, and Mayhem. I just realized today… that was the 2021 theme. Oops. But I’m going to go with it! So here is a flashback to 2021.

Reading about Strong Mothers
Well, Mother’s Day is coming up next week and I thought I would showcase some fiction with good/strong mothers.
So many of my characters are foster children and street kids that I don’t have a lot of wonderful mothers in my stories. But I do have a few! And truth be told, sometimes the best mothers are fathers or grandfathers!

Fiction Books for ADHD Awareness
October is National ADHD Awareness month, so I thought it would be a good time to shine a spotlight on ADHD. I asked around in my author circles for fiction books with main characters with ADHD, and got… nothing. But don’t worry, I didn’t let that stop me! I have tracked down a number of books for you.

Take your time with This Tender Land
This Tender Land is not part of the Cork O’Connor series. It is an epic travel-across-the-country-during-the-depression story, with four orphans escaping a residential school and trying to get themselves somewhere safe. I see a few reviewers complaining that it is a children’s story, but it certainly is not. It isn’t a mystery like the Cork O’Connor series. Teens and other YA readers who enjoyed Hatchet, The Journey of Natty Gann, of Huck Finn might enjoy it, but it is not for the very young.
