My friend and fellow NAL author Elaine Viets suffered a stroke several weeks ago. She remains hospitalized and is making progress. But she has a book due to be released in the next few days--May 1. Of course she cannot tour. Her fellow authors have joined together to "tour" for her by supporting her latest Dead End Job Mystery, Murder With Reservations. I hope you'll log on to Murder by the Book in Houston, www.murderbooks.com and buy her latest. Heck, buy two and give one as a Christmas or birthday or mother's day or father's day or ... you get the idea. And if you'd be interesting in reading how I feel about this very bright, funny lady, read my post "When a Friend Falls..." on www.writersplot.typepad.com

Thanks so much,

Leann
