Tuesday Teaser from A Fatal Feast
I considered what to tell Seth. If I said I was going to Boston to dig into Hubert Billup's background, he'd undoubtedly be critical of me for poking my nose into what is a police matter.

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little. Grab your current read, open to a random page, and give us two teaser sentences. Remember, no spoilers.

She does make it to the other side, but she's still lost. After days of being hungry, lonely and tired, she finds her way to...
Winner!

Hower House Fairy Tale Holiday
Since it's Fairy Tale Friday, I wanted to pass on a holiday destination for those of us in Ohio. The Hower House, an elegant 28-room mansion museum in Akron, Ohio, is decorated for the holidays with a Fairy Tale Theme.
I've heard that there's a Goldilocks and The Three Bears room located on the second floor and been reminded to look out for “The Wolf” in Red Riding Hood's room. I'm going to try to get up there one of these weekends.
The Fairy Tale Holiday Tour times are Nov 10 – Dec. 23: Wednesday – Saturday, noon until 3:30 pm with self-guided tours Sunday’s 1 to 4pm. You can visit their website for more information....
