Thank you to Erin at Still Life with Cracker Crumbs for this very nice review of Gladwynn Grant Takes Center Stage. Be sure to follow Erin for book reviews and chats about everyday life and stories about her family and adventures in Michigan!
Today I thought I would reintroduce the books I have written since 2019.
I am leaving out my first two books since I hope to rework them soon.
The Farmer’s Daughter
Will the desire to change their lives bring two people together and will the Tanner family be able to save their family farm?
Molly Tanner thought she’d be further in life by now, but, no. At the age of 26, still living on her parent’s dairy farm in rural Pennsylvania, wondering if there is a life for her somewhere other than little Spencer Valley. While wondering, though, her family faces financial struggles, her best friend falls into a deep depression, and her brother’s best friend starts acting weird around her. Weird as in — is attractive Alex Stone flirting with her?
Alex has his own challenges to face, mainly facing past demons that make him feel like he’s not worthy of the love the Tanner family has already shown him, let alone the love of the woman he’s fallen for while working side-by-side with her in the barn each day.
Can she forgive him for what he can’t forget? The last year has been a whirlwind of trials and triumphs for the Tanner family.
With injuries, near foreclosures, and a family tragedy behind them, Jason Tanner, the oldest of the Tanner children is facing his own struggle after his longtime girlfriend, Ellie Lambert, overhears the secret he’d planned to tell her himself. Now, in addition to trying to keep his family’s dairy farm sustainable during a hard economic season, Jason is dealing with the heartbreak of Ellie’s decision to end an almost 10-year relationship.
In an effort to bury his feelings, he throws himself into his work on the farm and into volunteering with Spencer Valley’s small volunteer fire company, where tragedy strikes the foundation of his faith during an already vulnerable time.
Ellie has her own challenges to face as she tries to navigate a time of life where her expectations have been turned upside down and shaken out. As she copes with the decision to walk away from her relationship with the man she saw as her best friend, her flighty, less responsible younger sister shows up to further complicate an already complicated situation.
After becoming pregnant by her abusive ex-boyfriend, 27-year-old Liz Cranmer feels trapped in a prison of shame. Now a single mother she feels like the whole town, especially her church-going parents, view her as a trashy woman with no morals. That’s not how she used to think of herself but — could they all be right? And if they think that, then what does God think of her?
Ginny Jefferies, 53, has hit a few snags of her own in life. Her husband, Stan, barely acknowledges her, her job as the town’s library director has become mundane and stagnant, and her youngest daughter is having some kind of identity crisis. Pile on the return of a former boyfriend and you have the makings of a near-midlife crisis.
Can the two women figure out their chaotic, confusing lives together? And how will the men in their lives fit in their journey?
Beauty From Ashes is a Spencer Valley Chronicles book.
When two recovering alcoholics’ worlds collide, can they work together to leave their pasts behind?
Ben Oliver walked away from his ex-girlfriend, Angie, the moment he found out she was pregnant. Back then, a career was more important than anything.
That was four years ago. Now Ben is sober, but he’s kept away from Angie and their daughter, convinced they are better off without him. When her family moves back to the area, though, his past catches up with him.
Judi Lambert has battled her own demons. Now she’s trying to kick her party-girl lifestyle to the curb. Not far into the journey to get her life back on track, though, she’s forced to relive a traumatic experience and begins developing a relationship with an old flame.
Christmas has come to Spencer Valley and Robert and Alex are busy trying to pull of some big surprises for the women they love. If only life didn’t try to keep getting in the way and messing up their plans. Will they be able to finish their Christmas surprises in time and will there be a Christmas proposal for one of the characters from the small town readers have fallen in love with?
A little bit of mystery, a dash of romance, and a whole lot of heart
After being laid off from her job as a librarian at a small college, Gladwynn Grant isn’t sure what her next step in life is. When a job as a small-town newspaper reporter opens up in the town her grandmother Lucinda Grant lives in, she decides to take it to get away from a lot of things – Bennett Steele for one.
Lucinda has been living alone since Gladwynn’s grandfather passed away six years ago and she isn’t a take-it-easy, rock-on-your-front-porch kind of grandma. She’s always on the go and lately, she’s been on the go with a man who Gladwynn doesn’t know.
Gladwynn thought Brookstone was a small, quiet town, but within a few days of being there, she has to rethink that notion. Someone has cut the bank loan officer’s brakes, threatening letters are being sent, and memories of a jewelry theft from the 1990s have everyone looking at the cold case again.
What, if anything, will Gladwynn uncover about her new hometown and her grandmother’s new male friend? And what will she do about her grandmother’s attempt to set her up with the handsome Pastor Luke Callahan?
Find out in this modern mystery with a vintage feel.
More mystery, intrigue, and loveable characters in Brookstone, Pa.
Gladwynn Grant hasn’t been living in Brookstone, Pa. very long but already she’s been mixed up in two attempted murders and the aftermath of a jewel theft.
Just when she thinks life has settled down and her new job as a small-town reporter will begin to be routine again, the recreational director at the local retirement community is found dead.
Was Samantha Mors death an accident, or was it murder?
Since she was the second person to discover her body, Gladwynn wants to find out what really happened.
Local State Police Detective Tanner Kinney lets her know that her job is reporting the news, not investigating a possibly suspicious death. The father she barely speaks to stops for a visit and also urges her to not get involved.
When warnings to stay away from the case come from handsome pastor Luke Callahan Gladwynn wonders if he knew the victim better than he is letting on.
Quieting her inner sleuth will prove difficult for Gladwynn, though, especially when her eccentric grandmother Lucinda, and best friend, Abbie, tag along to help her solve the case.
When you think of Sherlock Holmes there may be a certain image that comes to your mind if you’ve only read the books but if you’ve watched any of the television or movie portrayals of him then a certain actor may come to mind.
For me, there are two actors – Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Others may think of Basil Rathbone or – and I cringe even saying this one – Robert Downey Jr.
No offense to those who like Robert as Sherlock but…he’s not Sherlock to me at all. He’s … well, Tony Stark or just Robert Downey Jr. being Robert Downey Jr.
To each our own though.
My husband is the one who introduced me to Sherlock Holmes and to Jeremy Brett portraying Sherlock Holmes in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
My husband is a Holmes connoisseur of sorts and in addition to Brett, he is also a fan of the Basil Rathbone version of Sherlock.
Full confession time: I have not read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve ever read one in full. I have listened to them and to radio dramas of them and I have seen shows based on them. I have also read Moriarity by Anthony Horowitz, which is one of two books he wrote about Sherlock with the permission of the estate of Arthur Conan Doyle.
I hope to delve into the short stories in May or June.
Based on the stories I have heard and partially read, though, Jeremy Brett truly is the embodiment of Sherlock. His mix of seriousness and humor. His brash laughter. His borderline manic excitement when he’s found a clue or close to solving a case. His expressions convey so much in a simple eye roll or smirk.
Jeremy Brett played Sherlock Holmes from 1984 to 1994 in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Some Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts declare him the definitive Holmes – at least when it comes to the classic Sherlock Holmes portrayals. There is, of course, Benedict as the more modern “Sherlock.” He has been claimed by younger Sherlock Holmes fans as the best Sherlock and I don’t deny his version is excellent, but it’s not necessarily how Sherlock is in the books. That isn’t a bad thing, of course. Benedict’s version is his interpretation of the genius detective and I love it, but what I am talking about is the “classic 1880s to early 1900s” Sherlock.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes ran from 1984 to 1994 and presented all 56 short stories and four novels by Doyle. David Burke portrayed Dr. Watson in the show until 1985 and then Edward Hardwick took over in 1986 and carried on from there. Rosalie Williams portrayed Mrs. Hudson.
According to an article from The Telegraph, Brett fought hard to make sure the show kept close to the source and insisted on using Arthur Conan Doyle’s original dialogue. When it was once suggested that a non-Doyle novel was used, Brett refused, supposedly saying, “No, I’m not doing anything that isn’t pure Doyle!”
Bretts originally hesitated to take on the role because he had played happier characters on the stage in My Fair Lady and The Three Musketeers and in the movie version of My Fair Lady. I was surprised to see this week that he played Freddie Eynsford-Hill in My Fair Lady. He even sang! Not really, though…his voice was dubbed over.
Brett didn’t feel he could bring anything to the role after Basil Rathbone played Holmes in 14 films between 1939 and 1946.
It was a trip to Barbados that gave him time to read the novels and short stories. He said if he did take on the role, he did not want to change Doyle’s original intentions or words. He took meticulous notes on Holmes’ mannerisms and online sources say he referred to all 80 pages of those notes during filming.
“I think the character of Sherlock Holmes is frankly inhuman,” Gus Holwerda, who hosts the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast with his brother, Luke, told The Telegraph in 2021. “Jeremy was a ‘becomer’, as he would say – a method actor [‘Try to become the creature and erase yourself,’ Brett once said]. Becoming such a heavy and challenging character is a feat that few actors would have seriously attempted. Fans of the show appreciate the enterprise and the toll it took on him.”
Brett, who was born Peter Jeremy William Huggins in 1933, immersed himself in the character. Some say almost too much. If a person hasn’t read the Holmes short stories, they may not be aware of the darker elements of the character – his depression, mood swings, and opium/cocaine/morphine addiction. Some articles online say that Brett, being a method actor in many ways, pulled some of those darker elements into his own personality. Though I didn’t read that he had any drug addictions, he did deal with bipolar disorder and then heart problems later in life.
To Brett, no screenwriter could outwrite Doyle, which was why he insisted on keeping the stories so close to the source material and even used Doyle’s dialogue himself.
As for who presents the best portrayal of Sherlock?
Brett himself believed the best Sherlock in the eye of the reader, so to speak:
“I’ve done 33 Sherlock Holmes stories and bits of them are all right. But the definitive Sherlock Holmes is really in everyone’s head. No actor can fit into that category because every reader has his own ideal.”
Have you seen Brett’s portrayal of Sherlock? Or any others that you enjoyed? Let me know in the comments. Even if it is Robert Downey Jr. *wink*
(Note: You can find The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on Amazon/Britbox but you can also find some episodes for free on YouTube. Also, thank you to the commenter who let me know that the plan was to film all 60 stories but Brett became ill with heart issues, leaving 19 stories untold on film with him as Holmes.)
Today I am hoping on to Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s topic is top ten books on your shelf you want to read soon. Some of these books are on my physical shelf and some are in digital form on my Kindle, or if they aren’t, they will be.
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
2. The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien (my son and I read The Fellowship of the Rings last year and The Hobbit a few years ago for school so now I want to read this one)
3. The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery
4. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas
5. Crooked House by Agatha Christie
6. James Herriott: A Memoir of My Father by Jim Wight.
7. Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor (this would actually be a reread for me since I read it when I was like 10 but don’t remember a lot of it.)
8. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
9. The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
10. The Complete Father Brown Collection by G.K. Chesterton.
It was hard to find ten books at first and then it was hard to narrow it down as I thought of a few others as I got toward the end.
Have you read some of these or are they on your list?
It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, whatthe rest of the familyand I have been reading and watching, andwhat I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.
I wrote about what’s been going on in yesterday’s post so I won’t repeat it. You can pop over to that post if you want to catch up.
What I/we’ve been Reading
Currently:
I was looking for a comfort read last week and looked to see if I had any The Cat Who books on Kindle that I hadn’t read yet. I ended up finding one – The Cat Who Talked to Ghosts – and I think I never read it because I started it and it started in first person and I am used to the books in the series being in third person so I put it aside. The POV actually switches back to the third person and so far has been one of my favorite books, even though one of my favorite characters was killed off. There are some very funny lines in it and more of Qwill’s personality of being wary around children and women who talk to their pets like children.
I absolutely laughed out loud at these parts:
Before he could reply with a stiff “How do you do,” the parents had spotted the Lanspeaks and descended on them, leaving him with Baby. She looked up in wonder at his moustache and said in her clear, precise speech, “What’s that thing on your face?”
“That’s my nose,” said Qwilleran. “Doesn’t your father have a nose?”
“Yes, he has a nose.”
“How about your mother? Does she have a nose?”
“Everybody has a nose,” said Baby with disdain, as if dealing with a dolt.
“Then you should recognize a nose when you see one.”
Baby was not fazed by his evasive logic. “Where do you work?” she asked.
And
All of this he could understand, and he could handle it, but her gushing over the kitten was more than he could stomach. There would be no more relaxing country weekends at Polly’s cottage with just the two of them— reading Shakespeare aloud and playing music—not while Bootsie diffused her attention. Bootsie! It was a vile name for a Siamese, Qwilleran insisted.”
Qwill can be such an elitist and in his case I love it.
I’m also reading The Secret Garden but I’ve paused my own reading of it and have started reading it with Little Miss. So far she’s really enjoying it.
I started The Deeds of the Deceitful by Ellery Adams and Tina Radcliff as well. I just started it but it’s okay so far.
Just Finished:
Last week I finished The Divine Proverb of the Streusel by Sara Brunsvold and I really enjoyed it. I will have a review of it up next week.
Soon to be read:
Murder Always Barks Twice by Jennifer Hawkins
Death At A Scottish Christmas by Lucy Connelly
What We watched/are Watching
This week I watched some Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, All Creatures Great and Small, and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
What I’m Writing
I am working on the latest Gladwynn Grant mystery and having fun trying to figure out what direction I want to take the story. I’m hoping for a subplot related to Gladwynn’s ancestors.
I let my daughter in on the brainstorming and she suggested that someone in the Grant family line be an assassin. I was a bit stunned since I write cozy, light mysteries and told her that.
Then The Boy got in on the action and suggested that her ancestors be involved in human trafficking.
Needless to say, I will not be taking any more advice from my children.
This week I also announced that Cassie, the book that is part of the Apron Strings Book Series is up for pre-order. You can find it HERE.
Here is a description: One cookbook connects them all… Cassie ~ Book Eight in a string of heartfelt inspirational stories, featuring different women throughout the decades from 1920 to 2020.
Cassie Drake starred in a popular sitcom over a decade ago, but she hasn’t been able to find a job since the show ended five years ago.
Now it’s 1995 and fired by her talent agency, Cassie decides to accept her sister’s offer for an extended visit in their hometown. Back in Coopers Grove, she’s just Cassie Mason, sister to Bridget Martin, the local volunteer extraordinaire with the handsome husband and three wonderful children.
When an accident at the site for the Martin family’s new café and farm store leaves Bridget frantic for help with the community center open house she’s planning, Cassie feels forced to step up—even though it involves something she’s clueless about.
Cooking.
Even with Mrs. Canfield’s Cookery Book, Cassie fails at every attempt. Fortunately, her sister’s handsome neighbor, Alec Alderson, steps in.
As a former chef, he’s more than capable of giving her some tips. Will his charming smile during cooking lessons be too distracting though?
Watching others use their talents leaves Cassie wondering if God, whom she’s barely spoken to in the last few years, is telling her she was made for more than the career that became her identity.
I am currently listening to Watership Down and Around the World in 80 Days on Audible.
For music, I am listening to a variety of artists from Needtobreathe to early Mumford and Sons, The Civil Wars, and Danny Gokey.
Now it’s your turn. What have you been doing, watching, reading, listening to or writing? Let me know in the comments or leave a blog post link if you also write a weekly update like this.
She’s here! Cassie’s cover is done and she’s ready to be pre-ordered. Okay, that sounded weird, but Cassie’s book is up for pre-order.
Cassie is book eight in the series and takes place in the 1990s.
If you’re curious what her story will be about, here is a quick description:

I am an independent author without a traditional publishing contract so reviews are important for me to sell books, which may be why I think about reviews more now than I used to.
I don’t leave reviews so people will leave reviews for my books, just to clarify.
But the fact that I need reviews makes me think of how reviews can benefit the reader and the author.
A review can help a reader decide if a book is for them, based on the good, bad, and all-in-between reviews.
The book may have a ton of great reviews but by reading them a reader may realize, “This book still isn’t a book I’d like.”
Or the bad reviews might tell a reader the book is for them.
For example, someone may give a negative review saying the book has too much romance, which makes a reader who likes romance say, “Oh! This book is for me!” Or maybe the reviewer said they didn’t like the fantasy element and the reader says, “Oooh. I love fantasy. I’m going to read it because this person didn’t like it.”
While I’m leaving a review for a reader, I am also leaving a review for the author. Some of us may think that an author doesn’t need a review or to read their reviews. In fact, I’ve heard many authors tell each other to not read their reviews because the reviews aren’t for them.
I don’t agree with that advice.
A review is for an author as much as a reader.
Yes, it can be hard to read bad reviews, but sometimes those bad reviews improve our writing or they make us realize that our books aren’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
Even if an author doesn’t read a review, though, it can make them feel good to see the number of reviews and know that people are reading their books which makes all that work feel worth it. It feels good as an author to know that people are reading your books. We work a long time on those stories and just writing them can be satisfying enough in many ways, but it can still be nice and fulfilling to see that others have read it and enjoyed it.
So I write reviews for the readers and the authors. I don’t always want to stop and write a review, to be honest. Writing one only takes about five minutes, though, because I know reviews are not book reports. Reviews are a simple few sentences to say I liked a book and why. It doesn’t have to be extensive. In fact, most people who look at reviews don’t want to read a super long review anyhow. They just want the gist – did you like it or didn’t you?
I won’t always do well at leaving reviews but I hope to keep doing them for the benefit of both the reader and the author.
It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, whatthe rest of the familyand I have been reading and watching, andwhat I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.
Yesterday Little Miss and I visited my parents to have some dinner and make chocolate chip cookies with them.
We did that on a very windy, rainy day after traveling to drop The Boy off at a friend’s house 40 minutes away. On the way back from dropping him off, we stopped at a local library that was having a used book sale. It wasn’t a very exciting sale for us, sadly, but we did get a few books. There were no cozy mysteries. So sad. Yet, not really because I have so many to read right now.
The cooking making was interesting. We whipped up a batch but my mom said it didn’t look like there would be enough for her grandson, who loves chocolate chip cookies, so Little Miss and I added some more flour. But then we realized we would need more butter and another egg and then we tried to remember what we’d put in and what we hadn’t so the conversation started going like this:
Me: “We should put some more flour in.”
Her: “I don’t know about that.”
Mom/Grandma: “Did you even put the baking powder in?”
Her and me: “oops.”
Me: “I’d better put another half a cup of butter.”
Her: “This isn’t looking right.”
Me: “It looks super sticky and sort of runny.”
Mom/Grandma: “Add more flour.”
Dad/Grandpa, taking photos of it all and snickering: “I don’t know how these cookies are going to turn out.”
Me: “Well, we will eat them somehow.”
The cookies:
The cookies tasted great, by the way. Somehow I forgot to add this when I originally shared this post so if you see comments about that below — that is why. *snort* I am such an airhead sometimes.
While cooking the cookies we also had an incident where Zooma The Wonder Dog ran into a mud puddle twice trying to corner a cat at my parents’ neighbor’s house. I had to lock her in the bathroom, pull out the cookies, and then hose her down so she wouldn’t get the house all muddy.
She didn’t want to get in my parent’s walk-in shower but I finally managed to coax her in and pull the shower head off and wash the mud off.
We left not long after that and came home to enjoy some quiet time at home.
What I/we’ve been Reading/will be reading:

What We watched/are Watching
This week I watched an episode of Lark Rise to Candleford, Bluey (because of course), and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.
I also watched a show called The Repair Shop on Britbox or Acorn or Masterpiece or some British channel on Amazon. I really enjoyed it. They are repair experts who repair special heirlooms for people and there are usually sweet stories behind the items.
This vlog by The Cottage Fairy about how she needed to take a break from social media to help quiet her mind. I could really relate to this because I felt the same way.
What I’m Writing
This past week I started book three in the Gladwynn Grant Mysteries. I’m excited to see where it goes and how it turns out.
I’m going to try my best to finish A Tale of Two Cities but I will also be starting Watership Down on Audio, read by Peter Capaldi.
Photos from Last Week
Here are some photos from the play of War of the Worlds that my husband was in last week. I wrote about that yesterday in my Saturday Afternoon Chat post.
Now it’s your turn. What have you been doing, watching, reading, listening to or writing? Let me know in the comments or leave a blog post link if you also write a weekly update like this.
It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, whatthe rest of the familyand I have been reading and watching, andwhat I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.
My husband has been running every day this week for either work or a play he was rehearsing for but he still wanted to go to lunch and a used book sale 45 minutes away from us. We spent the morning and part of the afternoon doing that and I came home with a large stack of books, some children’s books, and some cozy mysteries. Today they had a $ 5-a-bag sale so we filled up two bags.
Little Miss picked out four for me but I rejected the one because I am not a huge fan of the author.
I told her I liked the cover very much though and thanked her.
Little Miss picked out several books with animals on them.
The Husband picked out a number of books, including two he had been looking for other places.
Today we will go see The Husband in his play. They are performing The War of The Worlds radio drama.
