Lois Hirt writes a column called “Dental Scraps.” She’s interested in dental references we include in our mystery books. After she read Photo, Snap, Shot, she donated it to the National Museum of Dentistry in Baltimore!
I was happy to meet Lois, and to share the fact that I’ve had GREAT experiences with my dentists. In fact, I think so much of my dentist in St. Louis that I even named a character after him: Dr. Mike Wallace.
Lois posted on DorothyL that she “loved the lines where Kiki remembers how she and each family member could take a day to worry.” She quotes from Photo, Snap, Shot were Kiki says, “That way we’ll worry more efficiently. If something happens to any of us on your day, it’s that person’s fault–and we can blame her.”
Actually, that’s an idea I came up with for my own family.
I am learning, however, that worrying is a spectator sport where nobody wins. Sigh.
Lois went on to write, “I can’t wait to see what happens next in Kiki’s life. I absolutely loved the last two paragraphs of the book. I could just picture it.”
Thanks so much, Lois. You put a great big SMILE on my face!;)
