Two week in a row - no guest. Last week it was a glitch. This week it was an illness. Lyn Hammond-Gray told me that Venus was in retrograde, and Venus rules technological stuff. Makes sense. Kathi Moon said I ought to pre-record every single show so this never happens again. My daughter emailed me half way through the show and asked what was going on.
I had so been looking forward to interviewing Jacqueline Winspear. She and I have emailed back and forth, and finally agreed that sometime this coming fall would be best. Sign up to receive my newsletter on my website, and you'll be [among] the first to know when she's scheduled. In the meantime, I'm going to see her healthy as can be.

Mark Schweizer - Feb 27, 2009
My gosh, I laughed through the whole interview on Mystery Matters this morning. In my work as an editor, I've found that really bad writing is never funny; it's usually pathetic. It takes a truly good writer, therefore, to be able to write bad prose that is hilarious. And Mark Schweizer is that kind of good writer, weaving the bad writing of a police-chief/organist wanna-be-writer with the hilarious doings of a small North Carolina town in his "liturgical mysteries."
One example,:Mark has Hayden Konig (his main character) write: "...her voice was as husky as last year's Iditarod."
Mark did pretty well in our conversation, considering that he spent 22 hours yesterday returning to Kentucky from a business trip in England. Maybe jet lag hadn't hit yet. I had hoped to ask him about his journey during the interview, but we spent so much time laughing, I never got around to that particular question.
Kathi Moon emailed in from Rochester NY to ask if he'd ever done stand-up comedy. "No," he said, "only in my regular job as a choir director."
Be sure you check out the Mystery Matters archives on http://www.tinyurl.com/a2f3s6 and hear Mark talk about Archimedes the owl, the helium balloons shaped like naked women, and his mid-life crisis Jeep story. It's an hour of fun. And look up his website www.sjmpbooks.com
