Monday Observations – Patricia Smith Wood
https://patriciasmithwood.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/monday-observations
The Continuing Adventures of a Writer. September 30, 2013. By Patricia Smith Wood. This morning was a fairly typical beginning of the week. I’m looking to get organized for the next seven days, and I’m brimming with insights. 1 I’ve Become My Father – No lie, I remember when I was much younger, I saw my father entering into “old fogeyness” (if that’s not a word it should be! Why in my day . . . ). Even adults don’t look where they’re going anymore! This entry was posted in Uncategorized. I think you̵...

Sometimes Dreams Come True – Patricia Smith Wood
https://patriciasmithwood.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/sometimes-dreams-come-true
The Continuing Adventures of a Writer. September 8, 2012. By Patricia Smith Wood. Sometimes Dreams Come True. I also read voraciously. I remember the summer I was thirteen; I read almost every novel my mother owned. She had quite a collection of historical novels of the day, and I read them in between reading the books I acquired on my own. There were the Judy Bolton mysteries by Margaret Sutton, and I belonged to the Science Fiction Book Club, which supplied a new volume each month. You are a sweetheart...

A New Mexico Mystery Review: The Easter Egg Murder – Patricia Smith Wood
https://patriciasmithwood.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/a-new-mexico-mystery-review-the-easter-egg-murder
The Continuing Adventures of a Writer. November 25, 2014. By Patricia Smith Wood. A New Mexico Mystery Review: The Easter Egg Murder. This is such a wonderful review, I want to preserve it for all time! Thanks to Amber Foxx for her take on this adventure, and for her glowing words. The best analogy I can think of for this book is a Rubik’s Cube. As I read it, I knew all the pieces of the puzzle. The cascade of events in this story are triggered when Senator Philip Lawrence. I’m Glad You Asked. We do not ...

Other Than That, Mrs. Lincoln, Did You Enjoy The Play? – Patricia Smith Wood
https://patriciasmithwood.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/other-than-that-mrs-lincoln-did-you-enjoy-the-play
The Continuing Adventures of a Writer. January 6, 2014. By Patricia Smith Wood. Other Than That, Mrs. Lincoln, Did You Enjoy The Play? Pat’s Unhappy Face. I am, for the most part, an upbeat person. I don’t get hysterical–well maybe just a little when I see a spider or a creepy, crawly, bug–but I’m pretty even-tempered. Sure I have some down days, but usually I’m a happy camper. If you’ll refer to one of my past posts, Sometimes Dreams Come True. So what does this mean, you ask? The Easter Egg Murder.

Before a year had passed, I was invited to be the te...For s...
