death in 2013 by her friend, Joan Hess. I met Joan about 15 years ago and told her about an idea I had for her mystery series featuring Claire Malloy. Joan lived most of her life in Fayetteville, Arkansas,
where I lived. She thinly disguised many places and folks in Fayetteville in that series. Joan moved to Texas and passed away in 2017.

I have read all of Hess' books and almost all of Mertz's, written under Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels. I haven't located all of the Michaels' books.

We lost two wonderful women authors with those two.
