This is the new Banner on the fan page of Cher'ley Grogg Author and Friend. Among other things on this page are clips of the lives in Wanton, WV. Do you have a question about Stamp Out Murder? Do you want to know what James and Carolyn are up to or do you want to know how Linda and the Mayor are doing? So many characters, who is your favorite? 

Tá gach rud mar is cóir

"Tá gach rud mar is cóir ," Linda greets her guests, as they come down to tables decorated with shamrocks and small white flowers in small crystal vases. 

James nods, and sets down at his regular table close to the antique sideboard. He notices the framed 1912 Irish Postcard displayed on the plate holder sitting by the coffee urn. He smiles, I'll see that later. 

Carolyn whips through the door, with a big smile on her face. She hold the coffee pot up and bows a little at James. "Coffee?" 

"Yes, please." He resists the urge to jump up and wrap his arms around her apron-clad waist. 

"Tá gach rud mar is cóir,"  She smiles. 

"That's great, but I have no idea what you are saying."

"All is as it should be." We love St. Paddy's Day. We're Irish.

"You're right, Miss Irish. Táka gacho  rudo marry is cóoler."

                                                 ***

James is very happy right now. All is as it should be, but soon his vacation must end. He doesn't know what will happen next in his life. 

                                                ***

This week at McKeel's Bed and Breakfast, there will be Celtic Music every evening.

                                                ***

After you read "Stamp Out Murder", I'd like to invite you to help me write the first chapter of the next book. "Canceled Out", as in canceling a stamp. Remember some people will not have read the first novel when they start on the second, so some backstory from "Stamp Out Murder" will need to be included and it will need to also be a stand alone as well as in the series. 

  "Tá súil agam go bhfuil lá breá agat." I'm hoping you have a fine day.

West Virginia Fall

Carolyn loves to walk along the "Country Roads" of WV. She talked James into walking with her. During their walk several tourists passed them, driving real slow and taking pictures. James wants to go for another walk tomorrow so he can bring his own camera.

The Fall Foliage is truly brilliant and people come from many parts of the US to view this splendid sight.

Country Roads

John Denver sang about the Country Roads of West Virginia. Carolyn is familiar with the country roads and James is getting used to them. His first experiences were a little scary. There are horseshoe and hairpin turns galore.

Beautiful WV and Query Letter Woes

I passed through Hooper's Creek yesterday. It is so beautiful. This time of year is just before Fall prime time. It's close to the time that James first appeared in this little backwoods town. Lavina is going to be more upset than the rest of the crew.

Today, I finished writing my query letter. First draft. I'll send it out in a couple of days.
