| NEW BEGINNINGS! Thank you for joining me on this mystery journey. I am so blessed. MAVERICK, MOVIES & MURDER launches today. |
| THE WRITE PAGE Spring is always busy, but made even more so this year planting a garden between bouts of rain that added up to whopping a ten inches over a few days, a grandson’s baptism, hosting a baby show, hosting a bridal shower, and volunteering with our hospice therapy dog program. Is it Friday yet? Although a harrowing winter held us in its clutches through April, ice is off the waterways, peonies have arrived in every color, cottony clouds rest against a periwinkle sky, lilac notes perfume the air, community parks play host to all kinds of games, and boats buzz over our many lakes. It’s a time for many beginnings. My daughter married the love of her life, my son started a new job, and–thanks in part to you–my novel is making its debut. |
| MY CHARACTERS We miss our own wonderful Maverick, but dogs aren’t as long-lived as their human family. Before he passed, Pirate joined us and I am including a photo of his beginning. Pirate lives up to his name, with all the antics of my storybook canine friend, and we love him just the same. |

| AND Book 2, RESCUES, ROGUES & RENEGADE will launch July 13, 2022. RIDDLE SOLUTION FROM MAVERICK, MOVIES & MURDER If you are interested in the solution to the Pirate riddle in Maverick, Movies & Murder, the answer is three. One way to find the answer is to put five coins on each scale. If they balance, then one of the other two must be the fake coin. One more measure and the fake coin will present itself. However, if they do not balance, from the lighter group, try to balance two on each side of the scale. If they balance, the fake coin is the leftover. If they do not balance, try one on each side of the the scale. If they balance, the third coin is the fake, if not the lighter coin will present itself. The greatest number you need to find the coin is three, although if you are lucky, it might happen in two. PUZZLE 8D – 24H = 1W ANSWER next time. Have a wonderful day! Warm wishes, Mary |
