...in every day would be quite helpful.

I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote anything on here. I've been writing, of course, lots and lots of books!

I've also started a newsletter that goes out once a month (around the 1st of every month) and anyone who might be interested can sign up on my website (dianaxarissa.com).

Meanwhile, I will try to do this more often.

The resort in the book was inspired by bits and pieces of different resorts along St. Pete Beach. I travel there every September for a writer's conference that is held at the Tradewinds and Rumfish Resorts, but over the years I've taken some time to See Full Answer

Sometimes I make up the books that Bessie is reading, but in this case, I was referring to Simon Brett's Mrs. Pargeter's books. The first book, A Nice Class of Corpse, came out in 1986 and I'm sure I read it not long after. They've all been republish See Full Answer

Quotes by Diana Xarissa  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I don’t understand why people are such snobs about books. If you enjoy romances, read them. I don’t want Thanksgiving dinner every day. Some days I want a ham sandwich and a dozen chocolate chip cookies. And some days I want to read Jane Austen, and other days I want to read Agatha Christie, or maybe some author that no one has ever heard of who writes fun books that make me smile.”
Diana Xarissa, Cars and Cold Cases

“Honestly, what fun would it be coming back as the ghost of a ninety-one-year-old woman? I do think I may have gone a bit too far, though. Nineteen sounded good at the time, but I think late twenties or even thirty might have been a better choice. I must remember to remedy that.”
Diana Xarissa, Arrivals and Arrests

“summer holidays”
Diana Xarissa, Aunt Bessie Goes
