After decades of technical and content writing, this old white hippie is deep into revisions on my 2nd book of fiction, a cozy mystery. Happy when I can wear shorts and a tee shirt every day. #SinC / Guppies Member. https://susannasullivan.com

#AmReading: I just finished THE UNLIKELY MURDER CLUB by Gina X Grant. Why is it unlikely? was my first question. Well, because it takes place in the town of Unlikely. Silly question. . .

Every week in my Substack I share quotes that have caught my fancy. Here's one, from British crime writer Reginald Hill:
What did I love? The notion that someone who write, not one, but an entire series of travel guides about towns nobody wants to visit.

Every week I pull out an interesting quote (or two or three) from what I'm reading. This one is interesting because of the narrator's opinion about what's "normal" on the streets of Cairo.
