As most of you can tell, I'm not one who blogs very often. So, if there's anything you would like to know just email me at aftonridge@aol.com. As far as MySpace, Twitter, or the rest of the many stops on the internet highway are concerned... it's all I can do to keep up with Blogspot. If you email and want me to be added as a friend, please don't take offense if I don't respond. I have tried many times, but I always got lost in the maze. For those of you who have already ordered my new book, Death on the Bella Constance, thank you so much! And if you haven't, now would be the time to do so. Christmas is just around the corner, and what a great gift idea for the reader in your family, or for a friend. Why not introduce them to the Jesse Watson Mystery series? You may now order by phone at 434-985-1957 using your bank or credit card--- and I will be the one taking your order, so you don't have to worry about security and confidentiality. I will safeguard your card number as if it were my own. (Please--don't email me your credit card number! You know how not-so-private email is.) Thank you and I hope you enjoy my new book! Warm regards, Ann Mullen
