We all do it, sometimes. Neighboring! Good works done for someone who lives in the area; even if you are not personally acquainted. Proximity of living seems to bring out connections we don’t often talk about. I try to be a good neighbor, helping when I see a...

I soul-searched today about my personal history with Labor Day. I remember parades; albeit some were very small. Mostly as a child, I celebrated lakeside with my family at cottages in New Hampshire. I remember wearing my bathing suit all day and going barefoot. My...

Kathleen lives with her husband Joe and their dog Othello midst their large family in Springfield, Massachusetts.
"My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age. I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then.
