Tell An Author You Care Day

The Kidlit Blogosphere has declared Monday,July 16th "Tell An Author You Care Day". It is my much needed push to say how much I enjoy the works of Susan Wittig Albert. I am a fanatical mystery lover, and Susan is the fantastic author of well written, intelligent, thought provoking mysteries. I first began reading her China Bayles mystery series with Bloodroot, set in Mississippi, a natural choice. Then I discovered the she and her husband Bill co-wrote the Robin Paige series. These are some of the best researched historical mysteries that I have ever read, and that very exhaustive research contributed to the Alberts ending the series - they were exhausted! Yet these launched Susan’s Beatrix Potter mysteries which are now on my must have list. I eagerly await each year’s addition. On top of everything else, Susan writes a blog that is my first stop each morning when I turn on my computer. And did I mention her recently published Book of Days? And that she is a former college professor of English?

I salute this marvelous, prolific author who prolificacy is only equaled by her talent!

Thank you, Susan Wittig Albert!
