Organizer is kind of a grand term for what I was doing.

Sisters in Crime now has more than 4,000 members worldwide.

Capo, my first golden retriever, so loved to swim she once jumped off a cliff to get into Lake Superior.

I went to college at the University of Kansas, where I got a degree in political science.

The crime novel has always been my favourite genre.

The day of the march, we were forbidden to go to the march site. The man I worked for, the Presbyterian minister, knew we would want to be sort of martyrs for the cause and risk arrest. He didn't want any of that going on. So he made us stay in the neighborhood.

Sometimes I panic and think I can't really write.
