UPCOMING WORK
- Watch for the first volume of my series, Eva Roger"s Small Hotels Mysteries, available October 2008, at lulu.com. First, let me assure you of this: I considered for many days, struggled even, to decide whether I should tell my personal stories, my adventures, to complete strangers. I wondered, will I be judged as naive? Will some find my actions inappropriate? For a while I thought, no, don't tell. My life should be private. How many people will understand a "woman of undetermined age" leading a dangerous and exciting life? Can strangers, like you, relate? I think I'm a normal woman. But will some find my actions unseemly? Will I appear to be unladylike? Outrageously out of character for one my age and position in society, which is unremarkable, given that I'm everyday, born to an everyday family, living an everyday life? Even I have trouble believing that I'm someone who attracts danger, intrigue, and nefarious characters posing as upstanding citizens. But I do. All I ask is that you don't judge me. A solid core of danger–loving recklessness rocks through me. It can't be ignored any more than a strange capacity to sense things that others cannot. But that sense isn't precise, so it is often useless. I certainly don't know how I came by it. I don't want it, but it insists on being. My stories will serve to acquaint you with the real me, a woman who was often misunderstood by my family, and by those in my own social class, and the new friends who share my misadventures. I've changed their names and mine, as well as places, dates, events and the timing of them. Therefore, Eva Roger's Small Hotels Mysteries are works of fiction. Right?
INFLUENCES
- A career of more than twenty-five years in the food and hospitality business has prepared me for authentic platforms to set my Eva Roger's Small Hotels Mysteries upon. That and a childhood of standing outside the norm in my community, in small town Minnesota, populated by first and second generation, impassive, Scandinavian Lutherans. I was the "wild child", one of the girls with an unjustified bad repuation, the outspoken noncomformist, practically run out of town because of my views.
