AAA Northern New England Journey March/April 2012
Perhaps it’s Northern New England’s key ingredients that make it such a perfect setting for mystery: brutal cold, wicked heat, damned rain, damned snow; colorful, independent cusses who threaten “don’t tread on me”; a landscape of old farms and mansions that writers paint as foreboding and deadly, with plenty of people who need to be dispatched and plenty of places to stash them: Take the second road off Route 7, then go a half mile up the logging road and dig until the crime disappears…
… Each state in the region boasts authors who have mined this brooding backdrop for literary gold. New Hampshire can point to the late William Tapply, who lived in the state and authored more than 40 books, most in the Brady Coyne and Stoney Calhoun mystery
series based in New England. Tom Eslick has the best-selling White Mountain mystery series. Susan Howard Solar has a series that includes the Lethal Leaf Peepers, and Mark Okrant, professor of tourism management at Plymouth State University, has crafted a series of home turf mysteries that take place at the state’s grand hotels: The Balsams, Mount Washington Hotel, and the Mountain View Grand Resort.

Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of
the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
This is a work in progress, Akasse. If you let me know which ones, I’ll ask my web guru to check this out.
Please be patient.
Hi are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own.
Do you need any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Susanne- Yes I’m using WordPress. While my web guru set this up for me, it is very simple to update.
I believe WordPress provides a counseling service for subscribers. Good luck with your blog.

Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Cheers
I don’t, but this is an excellent use of Social Media. Post your request on Facebook and/or Linkedin.
Someone out there will be able to help.
I’ll try to post about this on Friday
