I too have been with you from the beginning, I almost feel like I know Maine from reading your books. Thank you for including a subplot about addiction in your current book. I truly wish more mystery writers would look at the alcohol consumption and or pill use of their characters. I just finished reviewing a 'comic' mystery where there was so much alcohol consumed, one wondered how they could stand up let alone solve a mystery. Back to Faith, always charming always honest, and always a good companion. thank you again for 25 years.

If I drink alcohol, I...Good to know! Thank you. <br /><br />If I drink alcohol, I drink very little. My grandfather was only 39 when he died of alcoholism so I am extra careful about drinking alcohol. Whenever I go to a social event where alcohol is served, every time I take a sip of wine, I add water to the glass so the server will think my glass is full and not refill my wineglass. I remember an alcoholic tried to make an excuse, saying the server refilled the wineglass and could not help drinking too much wine. The silver lining in this was that gave me the idea to refill my glass with water so my wineglass always looks full!<br /><br />Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-83009889416642029812019-05-10T10:42:29.938-04:002019-05-10T10:42:29.938-04:00Congratulations, Katherine! 25 is such a milestone...Congratulations, Katherine! 25 is such a milestone!!

I noticed that mental illness is a recurring theme in your novels.<br /><br />The issue of opiods (sp?) is serious. I am always careful about taking medicine. There are other ways to manage pain without resorting to prescription medicine. It takes time to research and find the necessary information. <br /><br />I remember that even when I take over the counter medication, there is a warning label about operating heavy machinery, including driving. If I had to take Tylenol for example, then I do not drive. <br /><br />Driving while on medication is similar to driving drunk. DO NOT DRIVE if you are drunk or if you use medication is my philosophy.<br /><br />These ads about Aleve being better than Tylenol is NOT true for me, LOL. I could take Tylenol that is supposed to last four hours and for me, it lasts all day! Aleve, for me, has no effect!<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-63348050531101853082019-05-10T09:27:14.372-04:002019-05-10T09:27:14.372-04:00Katherine, I've been a fan since #1 and will b...Katherine, I've been a fan since #1 and will be carving out some reading time for sure for this one!

I was reading your books in the mid-nineties when I first started writing novels. I figured, yours was the kind of book I liked to read, I might as well try to write one myself!
