Does the detective look at the poor Mermaid's severed tail and proclaim, 'There's something fishy about that'?

I am currently reading Keepers of the Covenant by Lynn Austin. This is the second book of her Restoration Chronicles. Ms. Austin is a prolific writer and a great story teller.

I'm halfway done with Twisted, and I love it so much. I love the fact that vampires and werewolfs are working together as a unit.

Next up is The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis, which should be a bit of fun.

I am finishing up Zen in The Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury. It is interesting to see how much writing and publishing has changed. I can't even imagine trying to write on a typewriter, if you made a mistake, you would have to retype the page. But that's what he did. He wrote drafts for the story at the beginning of the week, every week and submitted the story at the end of the week. And that's how he survived. He had to publish two stories a month to make $80 a month to survive on. Just amazing to think of.

Hello, first let me say I love that concept one for fun one to learn from gonna have to adapt that into my life. Currently I am reading and then I met margaret it is amazing so far and definitely one that I am learning from it fits into my life so well right now which is ironic I guess or coincidental because there is a part in the book where the author mentions how when you strive for yourself things will come into your life to help you along. I love knowing what others are reading as well!

"Danger at the Dive Shop" (Starling and Swift Mystery #3) by M.J. Mandrake. I have read the first books in the series and like it, so continued to this one.
