Thank you so much for posting the links, MmavisO! I'm still new here and just learning the ropes. Seems the traditional mystery lovers (like myself) are in a minority most places, far outnumbered by those who like thrillers and suspense. I cut my teeth on writers like John D MacDonald and Dick Francis, and two of my favorite authors in recent years are Elizabeth George and Martha Grimes. (Right now I love almost everything by John Lescroart or Michael Connelly.) My intent with my hero, Hunter Rayne, was to create a North American character who had some of the characteristics of Thomas Lynley and Richard Jury, but I wanted him to move around North America rather than be in one city. Hence the "highway mystery" series. Coquihalla is my first "highway", then comes the Grapevine north of L.A., followed by ... lots of ideas!
