One of the books I picked up recently at a Barnes & Noble foray was Sandra
Scoppettone's latest (I think) Lauren Laurano mystery , "I'll Be Leaving You
Always." A good read and an opportunity to get to know some characters from
the first of the series a bit better (neighbor, William, among others).
There are also a couple of clever references to earlier Scoppetone books
written under her Jack Early nom d'plume. Anyone know when the new one is due
out (unless it's already released and I'm just behind - as usual!)?
Sandra also works in a reference to BBSing in this book (as she has in
earlier ones). I used to run across her periodically in the RIME Mystery
Conference, but I haven't had RIME access is quite a while so am not sure if
she's still active there. She does mention a couple of BBSes by name in her
book, AARDVARK and Invention Factory (not as sure of the name of the latter).
Anybody that runs into her in cyberspace, tell her hi for me!
