I always picture her as Margaret Rutherford.<br /><br />How about Joe Pike and Stephanie Plum?<br /><br />My thoughts for the Todd books - <br />Rutledge and Bess get together, live happily ever after. A new series for them. <br /><br />Hamish sulks and wanders Scotland and England for years until he meets Eddie (now also a spirit) from the Maisie Dobbs books in London.<br /><br />They solve mysteries, leave spooky messages for Maisie. Eddie takes no lip from Hamish but is kind to him. That and Maisie's gentle psychic psychotherapy cure Hamish of all mental ills. He and Eddie become partners in their own detective agency. New series, no plot problems!Mary Saumshttp://www.marysaums.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-48684260883214494132012-05-29T22:42:14.497-04:002012-05-29T22:42:14.497-04:00Jen--love you!

Next ...Hank I'll be glad to talk about my blog. Next to my fur babies, it's my next baby!<br /><br />I started blogging about books because I missed being able to talk about books every day the way I did when I was teaching. I had no idea if anyone would talk back, but when they actually did, I was hooked.<br /><br />I view my blog as a place where I can tell other people about great books and great writers I've discovered. While some have different philosophies, I simply won't use my blog to bash any books or any writers. Sometimes we'll talk about controversial subjects, but I don't write snarky reviews. So if you're looking for great crime fiction recommendations I encourage you to stop by.<br /><br />I also try to brainstorm fun ideas to do with the blog that help make people more aware of the genre and the people writing in it. I've had the six-word memoir series, three theme weeks, interviews, and now I'm trying out the Five on Friday series. So far, it's been a big hit.<br /><br />Thanks for asking, Hank!<br /><br />I hope you'll stop by and visit if you haven't been before. Always happy to have more folks to talk books with.<br /><br />And thanks everyone for your fun ideas you're contributing. This is making me smile from ear to ear!Jen Forbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325129568512353951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55900005197964331202012-05-29T13:15:45.314-04:002012-05-29T13:15:45.314-04:00And Jen--when you come back, tell us a bit about y...And Jen--when you come back, tell us a bit about your blog! xooHank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-8337051475464456212012-05-29T13:15:19.207-04:002012-05-29T13:15:19.207-04:00Oh, Debs ,right, world domination!
