I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "It wouldn't happen that way in real life."<br /><br />Luckily, I'm not writing real life, so I do it my way. :DPatricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-77545980334822443562014-03-10T00:30:32.096-05:002014-03-10T00:30:32.096-05:00Oh, my husband doesn't read, Donnell.

He thought just focusing on the crime was all the thrill a reader needed. He's a good sounding board, but sometimes a frustrating one. Thanks for reading Carolina Slade. I enjoyed reading your Deadly Recall.

Being married to a federal agent would freeze me faster than a popsicle because I'm one of those people who has to get everything right ;) Good for you for telling him IT'S FICTION. Thank goodness, I'm married to an engineer who prefers nonfiction Palmetto Poison sound great. When and if I ever get caught up again, I want to read it! Have enjoyed your last two booksDonnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-39817330251737572402014-03-08T19:40:03.535-06:002014-03-08T19:40:03.535-06:00Thanks so much for posting today,Hope!

Still chuckles at Slade's mishaps but tells me he wouldn't let those things happen.
