Love the goldfish looking seedy. :) They have that tendency. Very sweet though. Especially when they get slightly over weight. Thanks so much for the update on Betsy. Was relieved. Very kind of you to let me know. You enjoy now. Virginia I do appreciate it. Love the goldfish looking seedy. :) They have that tendency. Very sweet though.

I am so glad the characters are as real to you as they are to me! I must say when I`m writing, problems do seem to fade. As the problems are often in the nature of Wullie the dog running away, the chickens invading next-door`s garden, a heron clearing all my husband`s fish from the pond, or my fourteen-year-old goldfish in a tank looking a bit seedy, you will appreciate my need to escape! All best - Ann PS: Betsy was taken on by a nice family who`d just lost their elderly terrier, and lived happily ever after ..... Thanks very much, Virginia, for your nice message.

I have a stressful job and in the middle of the night I think about the book I am involved with at the moment and go to that world. It helps. :) That must be a wonderful thing for an author to hear. Such believable mindscapes. Thank you for that. I had one little comment. I am an animal nut and even though they are imaginary I often times have a slight worry over the four legged characters and wonder how they get on.(see how real your books become ) . Have just finished Theft on Thursday and am wondering about Betsy. :) I was glad when Erin returned home and obviously took care again of the elderly sheepdog and all the cats etc! You're great! All the best! Virginia Vanini Hi Ann,

Yes, I love the drawings! The characters are exactly as I imagined them. I have suggested using them in the books, but so far no luck. Happy hunting for Tragedy at Two - and I do hope you enjoy reading it. Ann P Many thanks for your message, Susanne. Yes, I love the drawings! The characters are exactly as I imagined them.

Any chance that they will also grace your wonderful books? I am now waiting to read Tragedy at two - all the copies are out at my library, and if I don't get it soon Amazon (US) is my next step!

I am so glad Lois has you hooked! I am really enjoying writing the crime series, after six novels about country life (no murders) in Round Ringford. I am a country girl (ahem!) myself, and love writing about the people I know best. I know you are too bright to buy the roses-round-the-cottage-door image of rural life here, or anywhere else. Without the gossips and the dramas, how boring rural life would be! As a matter of fact, someone in the village has just asked me if I know about the local man whose wife pushed him to his death down the cottage stairs? A long time ago, he assured me .......

For we Americans who can't get enough of all things UK, this is definitely the fix. As soon as I get through Sunday, I'm going to investigate the Round Ringford series; Ms. Purser, I have been looking for a book to get lost in for quite some time now, but haven't been able to find anything that jumped off the shelf at me--but Murder on Monday had done the trick. Thanks so much for writing!!!

I love to get lost in book - sorry about te family! The drawings are wonderful, aren`t they, and I specially love Dot Nimmo. It is quite fun sometimes to cast the characters with actors and actresses, and it is amazing how varied choices can be! Ann Thanks for your comment, Lynn.
