Lydia Proctor is back on the case - genealogy that is.  This time it's at the request of a Tri-Cities society founding member. When Jackie Grier asks Lydia to help solve a family dispute, Lydia takes the task on reluctantly. Patience becomes a virtue when Lydia has to appease Jackie and try to solve her family history problem the "right" way.

Murder, as she eventually learns, comes in many forms, both in the past and the present. 

As always Lydia has the support of her good friends, Faye, Muriel and Julia.
Join them as they make A Commitment to Murder.

Car deductibles and postponement of a book
Well, in a perfect world money would be spewing forth at an incredible rate. So much money that I would never have to worry about money, nor would my friends. I was all ready to mail it off...contract filled out, disks bought to copy the files, then my husband wrecked the front end of the car. Not entirely his fault but there is a deductible involved and there went my book.

But don't dispair, once Christmas is gone and tax time arrives there is still hope - I hope. I swear once the money is in and my credit card is paid that contract will be in the mail so fast your head will spin.

In the meantime I actually have the fliers printed, envelopes to pop them into, and a post office waiting for them. That's my job tomorrow - stuff and mail and hopefully I'll get some publicity out there as well as sell a few more of book 1. Cross your fingers for me.
