It started with Nancy Drew

My love of mysteries first started with Nancy Drew. I loved the Hardy Boys too. I don't even know what age I started reading them now but I read the whole series of both of them. Now they have new ones that somebody else actually wrote but I haven't read them. I have started trying to get a collection of the old books just because I loved them so much.


I have loved reading all my life. Now I have graduated from Nancy Drew too Mary Higgins Clark, JoAnne Fluke , Carol Higgins Clark, Mary Jane Clark , Judy Alter and Laurie Moore. Lots more too but there are just too many authors. I always have a book I am reading on.


I really love to read a mystery that is set here in Fort Worth in places I know of. Judy Alter and Laurie Moore both write about Fort Worth. I got a book on my kindle I am reading right now because it is not in book form that is called "Ghost of the Axe Grinder" by Jon L. Brown. He grew up in Sweetwater  back in the 60's.That is my hometown.  He moved away in his sophomore year but Sweetwater stuck in his mind. He based his book on Sweetwater and it was years later that he wrote it. Another one came out lately too. "Opening the Windows of Time" set in Sweetwater too. His are a little more scary than what I am used too.


I have always wanted to write a mystery since I love them so much. Maybe one day I will. But not yet.
