Wednesday in Tillamook

It is grey in Tillamook today which is not very inspiring for my writing. What I really want to do is curl up with one of the two books I'm reading. I always read two books at a time (not counting the book on tape in the car) . I have a gym book that I'm only allowed to read when I'm doing cardio. I try to choose a page turner for my gym book so I will want to do a lot of cardio. Currently my gym book is "See How She Dies" by Lisa Jackson. The book is set in Portland which is fun, and so far Lisa is keeping me guessing. I'm hoping that Zach Danvers isn't really a Danvers so when Adria turns out to be London Danvers they can get together. The book I'm reading at home is the Killing Club. It's the book that is supposed to be written by Marci Walsh, who is a character on One Life to Live. It's really written by a former OLTL writer, Michael Malone. The show told me I should get the book because it will be featured in the story. I have to say it is a little disappointing. The book is a little weak to begin with and they hardly mention the story line on the show. . . I'm still reading and watching though, hope springs eternal. It seemed like such a good idea.
Keep your fingers crossed. . . I took promotional material for my book to the bookstore in Tillamook to see if they will carry it. Hopefully they won't be hung up on the fact that my publisher uses Print on Demand technology and isn't distributed by the two distribution monopoly's in America. Lydia says Hi to all . . . .

My First Real Post

This is my first original post. My daughter Annie created this blog for me so millions of people could come hang on my every word and find out about my mystery novels and quilt mystery stories.
Even though my profile says I live in Portland, I really am residing in Tillamook at the moment. My house in Portland is for sale and my feline associate Lydia and I are in exile until that happens.
Currently while my second book is wending its way through the publishing process, I'm working on my third. It is not a threequel, but the start of a new series.
I hope you will visit my website www.aksach.com and come back to the blog to see the progress I'm making in becoming a famous writer.
