Have You Ever Read a Book As It’s Being Written?
Cheryl Hagedorn, who is going like sixty too, is giving us the opportunity to watch her blook Gold Medal Murder develop chapter by chapter. A blook is a book on a blog. Each chapter is a new blog post. This is the second in a series of her Senior Center Murders. The first book, Park Ridge, is available here.
