Frequently asked questions

Here are the answer to some of the questions I get asked rather often...
(Okay, only one question so far, but I'm working on it.)

Question:
I like to read a series in order. Can you tell me the order of your books?

Answer:
Sure!

For the Meg Langslow series:

  1. Murder with Peacocks
  2. Murder with Puffins
  3. Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos
  4. Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon
  5. We'll Always Have Parrots
  6. Owls Well That Ends Well
  7. No Nest for the Wicket
  8. The Penguin Who Knew Too Much
  9. Cockatiels at Seven (July 2008)
  10. Six Geese A-Slaying (October 2008)

There are also two Meg short stories available in anthologies:
"Night Shades" in Chesapeake Crimes
"Birthday Dinner" in Death Dines In

They don't have to be read in any particular order, but if anyone cares, "Night Shades" probably takes place at some time between Puffins and Flamingos, and "Birthday Dinner" probably happens before Peacocks.

For the Turing Hopper series:

  1. You've Got Murder
  2. Click Here for Murder
  3. Access Denied
  4. Delete All Suspects

Question:
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

Answer:
Yes, and maybe one of these days I'll put some of it up here. If I can think of anything that isn't covered very well by one of the many excellent books out there on writing. Speaking of which--here's my incomplete, unscientific, totally biased list of books on writing.
