My Dear Readers,
As I write this I am deep into a North Idaho winter and far from the high-desert heat of New Mexico. I hope you enjoyed the adventures of Evelyn Yvonne McTavish. The name of the character was taken from my mother—Evelyn McCandless Stuart. In high school she was just called Mac. I liked Tavish better. Yvonne was my mom’s best friend. The impish Puli, Marley, was chosen as a breed that is unusual and interesting (and if you follow my books at all, you’ll know there has to be a dog somewhere). My husband suggested the Albuquerque location, which allowed me to combine two very different subjects: the work at Sandia Labs and the Native American archaeological sites.
If you have a book club that chooses this book, please let me know. I love personalizing the experience. I also love hearing from you and answer all my emails.
Blessings,
Carrie
