Blog postIm looking out my home office window and on the far bank of our large pond I see 15 ducks sitting in a row. Clearly they hatched this spring, and now theyre the equivalent of human teenagers, so full of energy they race every which way, on a whim. They flew in four weeks ago, at first just a few, but more kept coming. The attraction? Our apple trees. Now, as if they discussed it, they are suddenly waddling towards the apple tree at the bottom of the lawn, near the pond. For a few week

Blog postLately I worry a lot about who to kill off. Dont call the policeIm talking about characters in the thriller Im currently writing. I dont mind offing bad guys, because they fully deserve it. Every one of them, believe me. Its the good characters who trouble me, imaginary people Ive come to like and respect. Im writing this novel, so I suppose Im Zeus, and I get to decide who dies and who lives. However, the truth is that the story itself is king of the gods, with its own wishes a

Blog postIn our celebrity obsessed society, where it seems only People Magazine A-listers rate attention, heres what we see all around ustalent, ability, accomplishment, decency. In this blog, we try to acknowledge what we see. So, heres one . Our friend Eric was just inducted into the Vermont runners Hall of Fame, with these words: For the better part of three decades, Eric Morse was the most dominant road runner in Vermont. And this: Whenever Eric entered a local race, the only questio

Blog postThis tableau of dinosaurs partially inspired one of Richards fantasy stories, Last Days of the Cretaceous, in his anthology, Frankie & Johnny, & Nellie Bly. Its set in Atlantis, where aristocratic sportsmen hunt the tyrannosaurus rex. Yes, dinosaurs disappeared long before humans showed up. We all know that. Yet, heres this convivial family, grazing at Floridas Dinosaur World. It shows the huge reptiles and humans can co-exist, if the dinosaurs are made of concrete. --Richard &

Blog postConestoga wagonthe iconic wagon of the pioneer west! Actually, no. We photographed this Conestoga wagon at the Shelburne (Vt.) Museum, one of the nearly 200 sleighs, coaches, and wagons in its Horse-Drawn Vehicle Collection, housed in a vast barn shaped, appropriately, like a horseshoe. If your ancestors made the westward migration, they probably rode in a prairie schooner, a smaller, lighter wagon. Conestogas were too big and heavy to lumber across the roadless Great Plains. They

Blog postShe is roughly 30 feet high. She is a living sculpture, made of plants. Based on Chinese myth, she was one of 50 such giant foliage-and-flower sculptures we saw at the Mosaicultures Internationales Exhibit at the Montreal Botanical Gardens--galloping horses, parading lemurs with their tails up, a shepherd with dog and flock, pandas frolicking, waterfowl taking flight . This summer, 2017, the Mosaicultures will be back, this time at Gatineau, Quebec (across the river from Ottawa), as Mosa

Blog postIn "Spider's Web in the Green Mountains," just published, why do mysterious motorcycles roar past the heroine's house in the night? Why is a biker threatening her corgi, Henry? Generally, what's with all these Harleys and Hondas? In this photo, we see the author doing serious, in-depth research for his mystery, sitting on a parked motorcycle to get the feel of the thing. It felt pretty good. --Richard

Blog postWhen our friend Murdock last visited, it was Green Murdock, because he got wet and rolled in the grass. Here he is again, but now it's Muddy Murdock-- Because a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do! Next visit? Who knows? --Richard & Joyce

Blog postI took this photograph in the Vermont mountains and it led to the novel Ive just published, a mystery. Its about the people living in a small town, tucked away in these Green Mountains. Everyone is connected. Its as if an invisible spider web crisscrosses the town, every resident touched by its strands: loves, grievances, envies, kindnesses, marriages, divorces, business deals . Spiders Web in the Green Mountains is the books title. A murder perturbs the web. It even affects

Blog postThis is Willow, who lives with our friends, Pam and David. She is a rescue from the local animal shelter. Here she is helping Pam bake cookies. Willow is more like a dog than a cat. She loves to be around people and her motto is: Attention must be paid! We like dogs, but who can resist a cat in a bowl? We decided she is an honorary dog. --Joyce & Richard

Blog postEdmund Wilson, the eminent literary critic, said detective stories are junk. OuchI've just published a mystery novel, "Spider's Web in the Green Mountains." More to the point, Im a long-time mystery reader. It was 1945 when Wilson huffed about detective stories. I just looked it up. That was when books still mattered, and literary critics, like Edmund Wilson, actually could be eminent. So attention must be paid. Wilson cited an Agatha Christie novel, "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Blog postThis is a photo of our friend Murdock, who is green because he played with the hose and then rolled in newly mowed grass. We never know what color Murdock will be when he visits us. We call him Murdock the Burdock because he sticks tight to his best pal, Eric Morse. Sometimes, though, Erics trips are via airliner, and Murdock cant go and he stays with us. This time Eric is running across the Grand Canyon, rim to rim. Eric is a former member of the U.S. Mountain Racing Team. Now he co

Blog postI often think about Gaspode, the terrier-like street dog in Terry Pratchetts brilliantly funny Discworld novels. Its because Gaspode is so disreputably clever at making his way in his world, which is similar to our world, except that it is flat and rests on four elephants standing on the shell of a vast turtle, swimming in nothingness. Discworlds dwarfs and trolls despise each other, and its humans disdain all minorities, especially vampires and werewolves. Slums are super-slummy. An
