A Day to Celebrate Those Who Have Passed by Rolynn Anderson

Today I experience The Day of the Dead in San Miquel de Allende, Mexico.  The event is meant to celebrate the memories of the dead, not scare folks, but I have to admit the town is full of skeletons…and that gives anyone pause. Or the shivers.

My brother joins us November 1, and the two of us will have our faces painted, made easy with a couple margaritas.  We’ll march in a parade to the central jardin (garden) by San Miquel Archangel Paroquia, a beautiful church built in the late 1800’s.  After the parade, we (including my husband) sit down to a four-course dinner, three glasses of wine, each, included. Oh boy! Speaking about dead people...and dinner doesn't start until 9:00 p.m.  

I’m decorating my hat and sorting through my meager wardrobe for an event I hadn’t planned on.  I can’t wait!

Like the Mexicans, we Americans have special events to honor those we have lost by celebrating their lives.  These are good memories, worth savoring.

You may know by now I’ve launched FIRE IS NICE as a virgin pre-orderer.  The fun and the marketing moves apace.

In 3 days I have 12 pre-orders.  Who knows how many I’ll get by release day, Dec. 4?  I followed rules/advice.  Report to come.

Where's the Suspense in the National Parks? by Rolynn Anderson

Happy Day-After-Halloween.  Hope you didn't wake up groggy from massive amounts of chocolate!  Dose with many cups of coffee.

On to serious matters.

Many of you know the setting for my next novel will be somewhere in the National Park system.  Mystery and mayhem in the parks?  Of course!

Poaching is a year round issue in our National Parks.  We hear about hunters shooting and extracting their kill illegally, with park officials hot after them.  Bear paws are an Asian delicacy/aphrodisiac.  Unlawful grazing on Federal land is a continual problem.

But I’d like to consider: gem, fossil, or veggie poaching.  Yup, I said veggie poaching.  Truffles and ginseng.  Did you know ginseng goes for $400 a pound in some markets?  (Here's a parsnip pretending to be a hot piece of ginseng...I know...it's a stretch)

So I ask you, which topic would interest you more in a suspense/mystery/romance?

-rooting out truffles and/or ginseng

-illegal gem extraction

-poaching ancient fossils and/or thousand year old cultural artifacts

Any of you have contacts with Park Rangers or Bureau of Land Management folk?

Thanks for your insight, friends!  On November 10th, a peek at my new cover!
