The incredible NEVER FORGET cake that my dear Linda Evans (no, she's the other Linda Evans) had made for me (that's real barbed wire and a real rose in the frosting) for the reception for the book's publication

Thom & Kelly Lange
Kelly Lange and Thom Racina, partners in crime, at the Palm Springs VillageFest. We are both TV veterans, for Kelly anchored the NBC Nightly News in Los Angeles for 25 years, and she's thus a Southern California institution. But she's also a wonderful mystery writer (and a wonderful person). Read The Reporter, out soon in paperback, and her new book, Dead File, out this summer, both part of her Maxi Poole series.
