Lost and Found

Lost - I have been out of touch for day and days. Went on a seven day cruise with my friend, Solveig Mclaren. Returned home. Sold my home. Downsized and moved into a small apartment. I had too much house. Too much garden. I dreaded the winter with the possibility of a snowfall or ice on the driveway with no one to clean it up.

On the cruise, Solveig and I plotted a murder mystery on a cruise ship. We knew how and why the murderer killed his victim but the big question - How to dispose of the body when cruise ships have surveillence (SP?) cameras everywhere. I asked the captain what is the procedure when a passenger goes missing? He was terrific and gave me details. They run through a whole check list and if the passenger is not found they inform the FBI or the RCMP, depending in which jurisdiction they are located.

Our story features three somewhat elderly sisters ( thing of Miss Marple) Solveig and I are planning a series. Await more details as our plot thickens.

In the meantime, if you really love a good romantic suspense, download TOO YOUNG TO DIE - my book published by Cerridwen Press. Read it on your computer, iphone, Blackberry or other hand held device. Check my web site, www.anitabirt.com for ordering information and an excerpt. Here's the cover.
