Suz's Wordle (Word Art)

I had fun getting ready for RWA making different button for some of my favorite authors and playing with a wonderful fun site wordle.com to make bookmarks and a Word Art for Suz.

I gave Suz a matted and framed version (this isn't hers) of her Troubleshooters picture (but yet another version. )



Click on image to enlarge. Yes, you can print for your own pleasure.

You don't know want to know how many versions and additions of names I went through to get the bookmarks and final Wordle for Suz.

Didn't want to post about it until after RWA.

The Marriage Campaign by Michele Dunaway

The Marriage Campaign by Michele Dunaway follows Lisa Meyer who is a campaign fund-raiser and Mark Smith who could really help her candidate. Unfortunately Lisa and Mark have a history.

Mark is going on a campaign of his own as he wants to know more about Lisa and get her to relax with her workaholic ways. I enjoyed watching Lisa trying to find a balance of work and a personal life as she is bombarded by Mark's efforts to get past her defenses.

Creation in Death by J.D. Robb

Creation in Death by J.D. Robb is another Eve Dallas mystery. This one focuses on a serial killer how has returned to New York. He likes to see how long his victims can survive his cruelty and leaves them for the police to find with the length of time they survived.

Eve knows that he has targeted his next victim and must find her before her time is up. Added to the time ticking away is that the killer seems to involve Roarke by using products from his company and the latest victims work for him.

I've been reading the In Death series for many years and look forward to each new book. Creation gives us a look at Eve under pressure of time and knows the killer has her in his sights. Reading Robb's In Death books are coming back to characters I'm very familiar with and enjoy seeing work together to solve the mystery.
