While watching Jeopardy yesterday, there was an answer about Queen Christina and the 30 Years War. Were I not a huge fan of Eric Flint’s Ring of Fire series, I would not have known the question was “What is Sweden?”
So, thanks, Eric!
So what have you learned from reading fiction?
On this date in 1927, the Ford Motor Company introduced the Model A. It was the successor of the Model T and cost $395. It would still be cheap even by today’s standards at $4,916.46. I’d like to see somebody now selling a brand new car that cheaply!
Tonight on TV, we have NCIS, The Mentalist, Fringe and Eli Stone. Another night without Dancing with the Stars. Weird. *g*
Much to my amazement
I wrote a full page last night.
Reading: Finished up Body Movers: 3 Men and a Body and now I’m reading First You Run by Roxanne St. Claire. This is an excellent romantic suspense. Australian-born bodyguard/investigator Adrien “Fletch” Fletcher is searching for a woman who was given up for a black-market adoption 30 years before. Anthropologist Miranda Lang may the one, but he has to find a tattoo she was given as a baby to prove it. In the meantime, he has to keep her alive from crazies who are trying to stop her controversial theories about the Maya. This is a new-to-me author and I will continue to read her books. Good stuff, Maynard!
