Industrial SBC builds on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
On Kickstarter, a "MyPi" industrial SBC using the RPi Compute Module offers a mini-PCIe slot, serial port, wide-range power, and modular expansion. You might wonder why in 2016 someone would introduce a sandwich-style single board computer built around the aging, ARM11 based COM version of the original Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. First off, there are still plenty of industrial applications that don't need much CPU horsepower, and second, the Compute Module is still the only COM based on Raspberry Pi hardware, although the cheaper, somewhat COM-like Raspberry Pi Zero, which has the same 700MHz processor, comes close.

I've been reading up on the Repository Pattern and struggling to find a solid answer on how people approach situations where the data returned isn't just your standard models (i.e. NOT
Customer 1..* Account)
I'm building an analytically system which returns data that is aggregated, sometimes spanning many tables. Additionally, these tables might have millions of records within them being joined. In short, my typical result sets are not my core domain models, but (sometimes extreme) spans, permutations and aggregations of them.
In the past, I have simply constructed my query and return the results as a custom result set (granted this gave access to the ORM from my upper layers of my system and thus did not separate my system from the knowledge of the ORM being used).
Is the repository pattern not a good fit here? How have others approached this type of scenario? It feels a bit like square-peg/round-hole.
For reference, I'm developing in C# .Net using ASP MVC with a MSSQL DB.
While my scenario is largely reporting based, I'm still dealing with the individual entities that make up the data the reports are based on.
As (JUST) an example : I still need my
Customer entity and that customer still needs to have
Orders that they generate through the system. My domain POCOS work well here in this scenario. The issue comes up after receiving MANY
Orders and having to report on them along with their many joined, aggregated tables in a format that doesn't match anywhere close to my existing domain objects.

The magic of Coachella
Related Links
Relevant offers
It's a legendary name in the music world.
So much so that I had to buy my tickets at 5am, hunched over a laptop in the dark to be here in the Colorado desert, nearly a year later.
Day-long flights, 40 degree Celsius days, long walks in sandstorms, exhaustion, living off corn dogs, egg rolls and gummi bears - it's all worth it to be right here.
More legendary names flock to this festival - anyone and everyone from Outkast to Motorhead make the lineup, and anyone could drop in unexpectedly.
In the past two days, surprise guests have included Janelle Monae, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, P Diddy, and Gwen Stefani.
It's easy to run into movie stars, pop stars and other A-List celebrities just walking around the festival grounds but stranger than that is just how many Kiwis you find out here.
We seem drawn to each other, catching the accent on the wind and following it to a piece of home, we flock to see Lorde, we count down to see the Naked and Famous and we reminisce and sing songs from home.
It's a far cry from the Laneways and Big Days Out we're used to, with six main stages, and more hiding away in tents and corners with a constant stream of massive names on every one at all times of the day and night - it's a lot to keep up with.
But when you can watch a New Zealand pop act, a noise pop act, a hip-hop act and a rap act from a 20-year-old album on the same stage one after the other there's really no place else I'd rather be.
And if that weren't enough, there's food stalls, makeup stations, art and sculptures, games and attractions and the general festival atmosphere of being here.
Kiwi favourites, the Naked and Famous take to the main Coachella stage on the final day in the desert, along with superstars Calvin Harris, Beck and Arcade Fire, who just headlined Big Day Out in Auckland.
Yes, the desert is tough going, but it's all worth it to experience the magic of Coachella- and that may sound cheesy and lame, but even if you just catch up online (www.coachella.com), you'll get a taste of it.
And even spitting sand out from between my teeth, I want more.

Good Value,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SE MH1047L Illuminated Multi-Power LED Head Magnifier (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is well worth the price in my opinion. The L.E.D. light is bright and it is even possible to move it side to side and aim it at your work. There are three levels of magnification with one fixed-lense, one flip-down lense, and then the jewler's lense to further increase magnification. The adjustment band is easy to adjust to fit your head size.

EASTON — Easton Area School District teachers, who have seen their salaries frozen three times, will head into July without a new contract.
The district's contract with the Easton Area Education Association, which represents 567 teachers, guidance counselors, librarians, nurses and school psychologists, is set to expire Thursday.
District and union officials said it could take more than a month before a new one is passed. Without a new contract, the terms of the old one continue until the sides reach an agreement.
Union President Julia Miles said she'd like to see all teachers get pay increases. Teachers took pay freezes in the 2012-13, 2014-15 and 2015-16...

Arthur's Tavern
in Morris Plains, New Jersey
4.05/5 rDev n/a | Avg: 4.05
vibe: 4.25 | quality: 4 | service: 4 | selection: 4 | food: 4.25
This establishment, in downtown Morris Plains, is known for two things: steak and beer. It's been in business for decades and is very popular. The steaks, and other food, are really good and it has the atmosphere of a bar rather than a steak house. You can go here for a great dinner or for a beer at the bar. The selection at the bar is largely limited to US and Irish macros but that's okay considering the steaks are excellent. This place is always lively and fun!

Besides the delicious beers I had been told to expect, I was pleased to find a wood fired pizza oven, coolers containing singles as well as cases, and a good number of tables, a few indoors, several outdoors. It seemed like 40% of their business there is people picking up beer rather than sitting down for one (and I was there on a Saturday), so don't worry about getting a table.

Penrose Brewing
in Geneva, Illinois
4.15/5 rDev -5.5% | Avg: 4.39
vibe: 3 | quality: 4 | service: 5 | selection: 4
Small little brewery on the north side of Geneva with a nice tasting room consisting of several tables, benches, and the bar itself. This is an industrial-esque setting with lots of metal in the tasting room so this place can get quite loud rather quickly, even wen only half full. No food is served but you can bring food in and/or order it while you are there. Selection is roughly 10 beers or so with several being rotating, I'm assuming due to smallish capacity. Service is very good, cheerful, nice, and quick. They also offer tours of their brewery for anyone interested.

This place has so much potential but really seems to be neglected. It's part of Franklin Square so great location. The building is nice. That's where anything good ends. We were the only ones in there on a Saturday a 5. I asked for a flight and they only had one beer of theirs on tap and it a light honey ale that tasted sour like vinegar. The tvs had dark spots. The table was dirty with 4 people working and no customers. They brought plates and one had a big dried spot of food on it. We only ordered nachos and they came with what looking to be prepackaged chicken and canned chili on it. As a home brewer I have never been so disappointed in a brewery/pub.

Came here while staying at the South Loop Hotel, as its a block away. Apparently the taproom opened a week ago. Nice place with view of the brewery from windows. 10 taps of their offerings and they do flights. Beer was decent enough. Worth trying if you are in southside, but likely not a place you would make an effort to venture to.

in Lancaster, South Carolina
3.78/5 rDev n/a | Avg: 3.78
vibe: 3.5 | quality: 3.5 | service: 4.25 | selection: 3.75
Located on the owner's farm, this place is out in the middle of nowhere in Lancaster, SC. Vibe is what it sounds like...farm! Smelled like it too. Cow dung wafting with the breeze.
Quality of the brews is fair. They have decent stuff, but nothing outstanding or anything that will blow you away. Service is good. They have about 8 taps inside the brewery itself, with about 5 that were flowing when I was there. They brew the beer right where they pour. They have some picnic tables outside. When I was there, they were hosting an arts festival and had a band.
One thing they should think about doing is wild ales, taking the whole barnyard thing into play, but that probably isn't their schtick.
Anyway, it was a nice change of pace from your standard brewery. Nice to sit out in the fresh (cow dung-tinged) air, having a few pints...oh, they also do growler fills.

4.21/5 rDev +1.4% | Avg: 4.15
vibe: 4.5 | quality: 4.25 | service: 4.25 | selection: 4 | food: 4.25
I stopped by the Salted Pig as I was in the area. Overall, I enjoyed the experience very much. First of, it was in the downtown area. The exterior was nondescript with door heavy wooden doors. It's a large space inside. There was a bar area on the right with lots of tables, and the kitchen on the other side. The interior design was simple but nicely done.
I sat at the bar and had a glass of Bruery stout. The server was nice and helpful. She did offer a taster which I thought was a nice touch. I then ordered their street tacos which was good. I agree with other reviewers that the price a little on the higher side. The selection of beers on tap is somewhat limited in number, but had quality beers though.
I'll visit again when in the area and try other items on the menu. Also, as a side note, there was a cool independent coffee shop right next door.

Packinghouse's tasting room and brewery is located across the street from a regional airport.
It's a fairly small space. There were a few seating area with couple of monitors on the wall. Since I was in the area and is always looking for new places to try out, I came here. I tried several tasters. I thought their beers were good.
I'd check it out if you are in the area. Nice small comfortable experience.

vibe: 4.5 | quality: 5 | service: 4.75 | selection: 4.75 | food: 4.75
V: The bar is classic. Lot's of wood and glass. Inviting, open and spacious. Room for a few hundred people and this place can pack them in. Dining area is also spacious, open but comfortable. This place is huge. It has a breakfast cafe and bakery, a bar area, a private banquet area and a full dining room.
Q: Never had anything short of a good meal here. Great emphasis on local.
SRV: Two types of service here: good and great. Eat and drink here a few times and you'll be able to discern from the two. Bar area can get slammed but the staff manages to keep it moving. Be patient during peak times.
SLT: Food: Huge menu and something for everyone. BAR: Excellent selection of local taps. Big wine and liquor selection as well. Everything from craft bourbons to single malts. Daily food and bar specials that can't be beat: 1/2 price burgers; $2 Bloodys; 1/2 price wine and kids eat free on Tuesday.
F: Food is great and deep in selections: soups, apps, salads, entrees, pizza and desserts. Beer cheese soup is hard to beat. Only Ale Mary's does it better. 1/2 priced something almost every night: wings (Mon.), burgers (Tues), and pizza (Thurs). The pizza is very under rated and it is fantastic; the house-made dough is stellar. Breakfast here is one of the best around. Salads are big enough to split. Roasted chicken dinner, Firecracker Shrimp; Carnivore pizza and Cobb salad are group favorites.

Founders Brewing Company
in Grand Rapids, Michigan
4.65/5 rDev +6.4% | Avg: 4.37
vibe: 4.5 | quality: 5 | service: 4 | selection: 5 | food: 4.5
Founders is committed to excellence and it shows. Everything they do is bold and confident and in Michigan beer scene, this is the place to be.
Cancel your evening your evening plans and get a ride because this place is worth a long sit. Their draft offerings are spectacular and catch them during certain seasons and you might be lucky enough to score the fabled KBS or CBS. While Founders in a bottle is great, the first hand tap room experience is even better because you're getting it from the source.
Menu is mostly sandwiches and they do not have a grill or fryer. They don't need to. While they're not in the deli business, those sandwiches are outrageous in flavor, quality and size. That's just the Founder's boldness coming through. Absolutely get a sandwich on the marble rye and with one of Founder's own beer mustard. Most sandwiches hover in the $7-10 range and it's great value for dollar. The double-decker is about $14 but it fed me twice for that price. The French bread pizzas are all the rage now but I'm a sandwich guy.
Service is kind of hit and miss. The place starts packing them in early in the day so you can always expect a crowd. Post work hours to get crowded so expect longer waits. I had very good service sitting at the bar but mediocre service from a bearded hipster who gave us the cold shoulder the whole time. Yes, we're tourists and no I don't have a man bun or mountain bike but my money still spends the same. However, most employees we have encountered are very nice and helpful.
Beer. The whole reason why you came speaks for itself. They will always have the standards (class 1) but venture out and try the seasonal stuff too. The Breakfast Stout is that much better from the tap as is the Rubaeus. I tend to stay in the Class 2 beers. Typically, if you order from the Class 3 list, you are limited in the order to either 1-2 glasses. This may account for limited quantity or even alcohol content. You come to enjoy, not get smashed.
Nice relaxing setting which has live music several days a week. The open mic music nights are great and showcases local talent. Note though, it can get very loud.

Kuhnhenn Brewing Company
in Warren, Michigan
4.16/5 rDev 0% | Avg: 4.16
vibe: 4.5 | quality: 4.5 | service: 3.75 | selection: 4.5 | food: 3
I like that this place doesn't try to be anything more than a focus beer hall. Yes, they serve basic bar snacks, which I've never tried, and often have a food truck available outside, but I like that it primarily stays focused on the beer. Less can absolutely be more and Kuhnhenn does it right.
While we've never had great service here, even sitting in the horseshoe around the taps, it's never been awful either. They could exercise a little Dale Carnegie and just be friendlier and perhaps quicker to suggest an offering.
I can't say that the beer is phenomenal but I will say it is very good. I've tried about a dozen different beers here and only found one that I didn't care for--a fruit based beer but I've determined that the style was good and that I don't enjoy fruit beers. The Penetration Porter and the Creme Brule Java Stout were very good but I think where Kuhnhenn really sets the mark is on their higher ABV brews. They pack a punch but anything they do with a bourbon barrel is stellar. I also think the Russian Imperial Stout, Solar Eclipse, and the Brown Ale, Double Nut Brown, are vastly underappreciated.

I like the vibe of JP-A2 but damn, this place is just expensive. Happy hour here is just as expensive as ithe regular menu elsewhere so there isn't true value for dollar. Do they make an effort for the money? Yes, but it's still a budget buster come time to pay the bill. $7-10 glasses of beer, and you better enjoy sours because that's what they specialize in. The stout was watery week but the red ale showed real promise. There is a relationship with North Peak, not sure if they own it, but that's primarily what is available, and I'm not a huge fan of North Peak. Maybe they're due a redemption visit but not any time soon. A2 has too much going on.

3.89/5 rDev n/a | Avg: 3.89
vibe: 3.5 | quality: 3.75 | service: 4 | selection: 4.25 | food: 3.5
V-The Fox is located in a somewhat odd spot...kinda close to Coors Field and River North, but not within an easy walk of anything. The place is big with multiple floors, multiple patios, and lots of seating. It feels strangely like a nightclub to me. The decor is sparse and industrial with a serious beer theme (bottles on the wall as art, etc.). I visited for lunch on a weekend and the place was really mellow; just a few customers at the bar watching soccer.
Q-The beer list is thoughtful with nice local options and craft from throughout the United States. Compared to other beer-centric joints in Denver, the Fox is not mind-blowing, but you can find good beers here.
Ser-Our waitress was prompt and friendly (which you expect since there were only five people in the entire place). Beers arrived in appropriate glassware and pours were done correctly.
Sel-The beer list was lengthy, probably 50-ish taps. It is crazy to think that 50-plus taps isn't amazing these days, but so many places now have 50-plus taps that it feels almost routine. Anyway, the variety of the list was good and the selections were ample.
F-We had pizza and it was merely OK. Our salad was also just OK. Perhaps the kitchen was not quite warmed up for the day, but I don't know that I would eat here again with other options available in Denver.
O-The beer list was good, but not great, and the food was average. The vibe also wasn't working with me. With all of the other choices around Denver, the Crafty Fox will need to up there game to bring me back.

Prisco's Fine Foods
in Aurora, Illinois
4.07/5 rDev -1.9% | Avg: 4.15
vibe: 4 | quality: 4 | service: 4 | selection: 4.25
Great little grocery store in Aurora, it's been there since 1926 and still family-owned.
They have some great specialties, some Italian stuff but a nice variety of prepared food and fresh cuts including Miller amish chicken. Combined this visit with a trip to Wurst Kitchen, so we skipped the quality meats this time.
First walking in, there was a stack of multiple various cases, a shelf of seasonal stuff to the right, and a reach in cooler on the left with some random bombers. The actual beer aisle is in the center of the store and impressively occupies the entire aisle. A 4 door cooler is at the end of the aisle near the checkout. Well over 100, probably 200+ beers available. US craft is the focus, though there was a solid variety of imports, with traditional lambic including Cuvee Rene, Boon Mariage Parfait Kriek. Rodenbach and Charactere Rouge. Good variety of at least 6 Off Color, 6 Surly, Victory seasonals, Avery Lilekoi Kepolo and Perzik Saison, Bells seasonals, Almanac, etc. Great selection for a grocery store, bigger variety but similar to the better Whole Foods around Chicagoland.
Service was friendly, the staff was mostly younger and there wasn't really a dedicated beer person, but everything was pretty easy and well organized. I liked that they had some summer seasonals at the front of the store.
Overall I was impressed, and would return for beer and groceries again in the future.

Young Veterans Brewing Co.
in Virginia Beach, Virginia
2.98/5 rDev -13.4% | Avg: 3.44
vibe: 3.5 | quality: 2.75 | service: 2.5 | selection: 3.5
I've been here a couple of times, most recently last night. Neither experience was bad, but neither was that great either. I doubt I'll give them a third chance, as there are so many other new craft breweries popping up around here that I'd like to try (and established ones where I know I'll get good service and a quality product).
Strike one: Consistency. I've had a couple of their beers on different occasions, with noticeable variation in quality (e.g. one batch of their "Pineapple Grenade" wheat beer was quite tasty, a few weeks later it was "meh").
Strike two: Pricing. Their board lists growler fills at $15; I was charged $17 (I asked ahead of time if all growler fills cost the same, and she confirmed they did, so it wasn't that I ordered a "premium" beer that cost more). To make matters worse, the server didn't know how to properly fill a growler - by the time I got it home, the foam had settled and my growler was more than an inch below the fill line; nobody likes paying for foam (not to mention the excess foam meant a lot of CO2 had been liberated, so the beer in my growler was half flat when I opened it).
Strike three: Service. Although the servers were prompt enough, they seemed uninterested/bored, and didn't really know some of the basics about their offerings (ABVs, IBU's, flavor profiles), much less how to fill a growler, as mentioned above. I also was a little put off by the fact that they had their dinner plates of tacos (from the food truck outside) sitting right next to the taps. I'm not 100% certain that's a health code violation, but servers eating with their hands before handling my drink glass doesn't sit well with me.
I was also disappointed that two of their beers were unavailable the last time I went in, but that is not unheard of for nano-breweries, where the delicate balance between supply and demand can be hard to find. But with everything else factored in, it was just another disappointment that will discourage me from going back.

The Monk Brewery was nice. It has indoor and outdoor seating and had simple décor and some TVs to watch footie. The beer and food were both above average. The service was quite attentive especially in Australia. There was plenty of beer and food to select from. I had some bbq like sliders with my sampler and they were excellent. Definitely a cool place to visit in middle of Freo.

Elasticity is hailed as one of the biggest benefits of cloud and software-defined architectures. It's more efficient than traditional scalability models that only went one direction: up. It's based on the premise that wasting money and resources all the time just to ensure capacity on a seasonal or periodic basis is not only unappealing, but unnecessary in the age of software-defined everything.
The problem is that scaling down is much, much harder than scaling up. Oh, not from the perspective of automation and orchestration. That is, as the kids say these days, easy peasy lemon squeezy. APIs have made the ability to add and remove resources simplicity itself. There isn't a load balancing service available today without this capability - at least not one that's worth having.
But if you peek behind the kimono, you're going to quickly find out that perhaps it isn't as easy peasy as it first appears. Scaling down requires a bit more finesse than scaling up, at least if you care about the end user experience.
Consider for a moment the process of scaling up (or out, as is more often the case). A certain threshold is reached that indicates a need for more capacity. More often than not this metric is based on connections, with each application instance able to handle an approximate number of connections. When that is reached, a new application instance (node) is launched, it's added to the load balanced pool, and voila! More capacity, more connections, more consumers.
At some point that same threshold is breached on the way back down. As capacity demand wanes, the total connection count (as measured by all connections across all instances) decreases. When that count crossed a pre-determined threshold, one instance is shut down, it's removed from the pool, and voila!
You've just disconnected a whole bunch of consumers - many of whom might have been in the middle of a transaction (you know, trying to give you money).
Needless to say, they aren't happy.
That's because many of the systems implementing elastic scale these days haven't been load balancing applications for nearly twenty years and didn't recognize the importance of graceful degradation, or quiescence.
Graceful degradation was used in the olden days (and still is today, to be fair) when initiating a maintenance cycle. The requirement was that a server (today an instance) needed to be shut down for maintenance but it could not disrupt current user sessions. The load balancer would be "told" to begin quiescing (or bleeding off) connections in preparation for downtime. The service would immediately stop sending new connections to that server (instance) while allowing existing connections to complete. In this way, consumers could complete their tasks and when no connections were left, the server would be shut down and maintenance could begin.
This is not a simple thing to achieve. The load balancing service must be intelligent enough to stop sending new connections to an instance but not interrupt existing connections. It must be able to manage both active and semi-active instances for the same application, which requires stateful management across all application instances.
In today's models, this means that elasticity must embrace a more graceful, elegant means of scaling down than just suddenly killing an instance and all its associated connections.
With more and more apps - both those aimed at employees and those designed for consumers - residing in cloud environments and managed service environments, it is critical to evaluate how such providers support elasticity. Methods that disrupt productivity or interrupt consumer transactions are hardly worth the few pennies saved by immediately shutting down an instance when a threshold is crossed.
It behooves emerging software-defined models and devops that plan on managing scale automatically to recognize that elasticity isn't just about responding to thresholds; it's about responding seamlessly - in both directions.

It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage. What happens when the network doesn't work, or when the device is in airplane mode? You get unhappy, frustrated users. An offline-first app is an app that works, without error, when there is no network connection.

Weekly Reading Round-Up
Happy July! I've mostly been researching the next book– about which I'm staying mum for the moment– so much of what I've been reading won't appear here just yet. On the fiction front, though, I've stumbled upon a few new to me books and authors, including:
— Chris Cleave, Everyone Brave is Forgiven, a novel of World War II, set back and forth between blitzed London and Malta, following the fortunes of Mary, a socialite turned teacher, and Alistair, a restorer at the Tate turned soldier, as well as several side characters along the way. The prose was brilliant, clever and snarky and bright; the characterizations were beautiful; the subject matter… so very, very hard. But, then, it's probably good to be reminded, so vividly, of just how awful it was.
— Austin Clarke, The Polished Hoe. More wonderfully written but tough reading. Post-colonial "Bimshire", aka Barbados, in the 1940s, where, over the course of a night, a woman relates her history to the police constable and sergeant, providing a painting of the darker sides of island life.
Between the Blitz and the legacy of slavery, I felt the need for something light after that and took refuge in Trisha Ashley's A Winter's Tale, in which the impoverished heroine unexpectedly inherits the family stately home and must protect it against the schemes of her property developer cousin. Because who doesn't love an unexpected inheritance and a good stately home?

EMERALD RING en Français
On 21 Juillet, The Deception of the Emerald Ring will be making its debut en français! You can find it under the title L'Imposture de l'Alliance Émeraude.
When I got the news, I did some counting on my fingers and it dawned on me that, as of a few months from now, it will be ten years since Emerald Ring was first published in the U.S.
It really doesn't feel like it should be quite that long, does it?
One thing I've noticed about Emerald Ring covers over the years: they tend to be very, very green….
Library Donations!
In the middle of a mystery bundle give away post on Facebook the other day, I included a side comment about books for libraries or other charities. The response was overwhelming. (Thanks, all!) So I'm making this post the Official Library Donation Spot.
I would be delighted to see all my author copies flutter away to libraries, hospices, and shelters since it's silly for them to be mouldering on shelves when they could be read and enjoyed. The only caveat is that all of these places tend to have their own collection and donation policies. So:
— If you're a librarian or work at one of these organizations and would like a book donation, email away! If you let me know where to send them (and if there are any particular needs), I'll bundle up some books for you.
— If you think your library/organization might want them but you don't work or volunteer there, it would be a great help if you could check with the relevant librarian/coordinator and have them contact me if they're interested. As much as I'd love to send books to everyone, I need to make sure they're really wanted and who the correct contact is before I can put them in the mail.
Here is the list I have so far (in no particular order):
— FMWR Fort Lee Community Library
Is there anyone I've left out? If you don't see your library or organization here, just let me know!
Weekly Reading Round-Up
When I'm working on the end of a book, I need books like a diver needs his oxygen tank. And not just any books. Series work best. Series entirely unrelated to what I'm currently writing work best of all. I got through the end of That Summer with Laurie King's Kate Martinelli mysteries, The Other Daughter with Elsie Lee's vintage spy novels, and The Lure of the Moonflower with the help of Laura Resnick's Esther Diamond books.
As I power towards the end of the current work in progress, I've been on a Rivers of London marathon, paced so they should last me just to the end of my book. For anyone who hasn't read these yet, they're British police procedurals with a paranormal twist– think Scotland Yard meets Hogwarts.
Once both my books and these books are done…. We'll see. I have Sonali Dev's The Bollywood Bride waiting to be read, and also a large pile of ARCs I'm eager to jump into. And, of course, a pile of research books for the next stand alone novel!

Happy 10th Anniversary to the Word Wenches!
There's been one drooping and one auspicious eye over at the Word Wenches…. As some of you may have heard, just as the Word Wenches were kicking off their tenth anniversary celebration last week, one of the Wenches, the incomparable Jo Beverley, shuffled off this mortal coil. Although "shuffle" is absolutely the wrong word here. I like to think of her dancing a quadrille with her usual inimitable style.
After a week of sharing memories of Jo, the Wenches have returned to their anniversary celebrations– with an even keener sense of just how much their community and their books mean to so many people. The world was richer for having Jo Beverley in it and is so much poorer for her absence.
Today on Word Wenches, Eloisa James and I are both raising our glasses to a decade of Word Wenches. Stop by to share your thoughts about historical romance and for a chance to win some books!
If You Like….
Since I've been deep in the writing cave, the wonderful Rachel very kindly offered to take up the slack by writing a brand new "If You Like" post– and may I just say how delighted I was when she offered and how even more delighted I was once I read it?
Here, without further preamble, is our latest guest If You Like: If You Like Lady Detectives in Historical Fiction. And now over to Rachel!
I don't know about you all, but once in a while I get a taste for a certain genre/ trope/ character personality and go crazy with it. I'll look up recommendations on Goodreads, talk to friends, and make a list of things to check out from the library. Lately, because of Laurie R King's latest in her "Beekeeper's Apprentice" series [which I know has been a big hit on this website before!] I've been on a "Lady Detectives in Historical Fiction," kick. The latest installment is intriguingly titled "The Murder of Mary Russell" and actually alternates between the Mary/ Sherlock storyline and Mrs. Hudson's early life, as the famous housekeeper has her own intrepid adventures. King's series is intelligent, amusing, and fast paced while packed with incredible dialogue and character/ plot development. The lady does her research. In the past few weeks I have also delved into several new (to me) series that promised similar devices to King. So if you like Mary Russell/ Lady Detectives in Historical Fiction, you may also like…
The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder, by Rachel McMillan- The "first" in a series (there is a prequel available also) about two friends, Merinda and Jem, who eschew the patriarchal norms of 1910 Toronto and form a detective agency. Merinda is obsessed with Sherlock Holmes stories and uses them as research to help in their own cases. Fun, fast paced, and full of colorful personalities. (And if you like the Canadian show "Murdoch Mysteries", you will surely like this series!)
Sister Beneath the Sheet by Gillian Linscott- First in a series about Nell Bray, a suffragette working under Emmeline Pankhurst, who directs Nell to look into a suspicious death. Slightly darker in plot and detail, this story still contains a great deal of history and atmosphere of the early suffragette revolution. Male-female relations in the book also raise though provoking questions in the midst of the current political debate over gender in America.
Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn- First in a series about protagonist Lady Julia Grey, a woman who becomes involved in detecting when her husband unexpectedly expires at a dinner party. (Think "Gosford Park" meets the "Lady Emily" series by Tasha Alexander.) She is joined in her investigation by her husband's acquaintance Nicholas Brisbane, who does get get along with Lady Julia at the outset and causes much consternation for her and amusement for the reader. Steamier and, in parts, darker, this book contains elements of several adored genres.
Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear- I'm almost done with this one, and it is blowing my mind. My favorite so far for no particular reason other than I am connecting with the eponymous Maisie. Incredibly bright, she is born into a lower class but rises up with the help of her employer-turned-patron. I definitely see elements of Mary Russell in Maisie Dobbs, except that Maisie has struck out on her own to open a detective agency and does not work with a partner after leaving the tutelage of Dr. Maurice Blanche. Maisie is able to easy sympathize with her clientele, drawing on shared WWI experiences (Maisie served as a nurse).
On tap for me (because I over-indulged at the library) are: Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart, The Alchemy of Murder by Carol McCleary, Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters, and This Dame for Hire by Sandra Scoppettone.
Thank you so much, Rachel! I'm busy scribbling notes to myself since while half of these are old favorites (am I the only one reading this who feels a strong need to re-read The Beekeeper's Apprentice right about now?), the other half are new to me. Which is very exciting.
I've been racking my brains to think who else I would add to this list…. There's Anna Lee Huber's Lady Darby mysteries (Scottish, 19th century), Jennifer Kincheloe's The Secret Life of Anna Blanc (American, turn of the century), Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mysteries (Australian, 1920s), and, of course, Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness (English, 1930s).
Who are your favorite historical lady detectives?
Weekly Reading Round-Up
I'll be heading back into the writing cave in a moment (send good writing vibes, all!), but it's been a banner reading week, beginning with Deanne Gist's Tiffany Girl, which reminds me, in the best possible way, of the young adult historical fiction I used to read back when: a coming of age story and a very detailed depiction of New York life for a middle class girl in the 1890s as she navigates parental issues, boarding house life, a controversial choice to take a job, and, of course, romance.
I also hit the mystery novel jackpot with not one but two Josephine Tey novels for Mother's Day: her final Alan Grant mystery, The Singing Sands, and a stand alone, Brat Farrar. I've saved Brat Farrar for last, although it makes me a little sad to think that once I've finished this, there will be no new Josephine Teys in the world for me….
What have you been reading this week?
Weekly Reading Round-Up
Most of my reading this week has been of the contest judging variety, but I did seize the opportunity to read two other books:
— Kristan Higgins's crossover into women's fiction, If You Only Knew, was the bright spot of an otherwise rainy week. Told from the viewpoints of two sisters whose lives are crumbling around them in various ways, the characters are so well drawn and real that you can picture them as people you know– people you know and actively want to hang out with.
— James Livingston's work of non-fiction, Arsenic and Clam Chowder: Murder in Gilded Age New York, was retroactive research for the work-in-progress, but definitely worth reading just for fun, as you unravel how the descendant of the Livingstons, a putative heiress, is reduced to living in a hotel with her four illegitimate children– and, just possibly, poisoning her own mother with a bucket of overpriced room service clam chowder.
What have you been reading this week?
If You Like….
So many thanks to Tracy Grant, who has broken the long If You Like drought here on the website! Tracy is the author of the Charles and Melanie/Malcolm and Suzanne Napoleonic-set mysteries, of which the latest, London Gambit, comes out this week.
Isn't that a gorgeous cover?
And now over to Tracy, for If you like…Ensemble Series:
I've always loved series as both a reader and a writer. I love delving into a world and staying there. Perhaps for this reason, I particularly like "ensemble series" – series in which there may be a central character or couple but in which there is also a large cast of recurring characters. In my own series, I love writing the complicated marriage of former spies Malcolm and Suzanne Rannoch, but I also love following the other characters. Harry and Cordelia Davenport, attempting to rebuild their own marriage; David Worsley and Simon Tanner, prevented by the time they live in from having an open relationship, though London Gambit finds them in effect raising children together; Addison and Blanca, Malcolm's valet and Suzanne's maid, who are spies themselves and have their own romantic thread; Lady Frances, Malcolm's grand dame aunt, with her string of lovers and numerous children of varying parentage; Raoul O'Roarke, Suzanne's former spymaster and Malcolm's father, with complicated relationships with both of them, who may now be at the fragile beginning of a romance of his own with with the Rannoch children's former governess, Laura Dudley. The end of London Gambit is a game changer that the shifts the board the series is played on and affects all these characters and their relationships with each other. As a writer, it left me simultaneously feeling a bit guilty for what I put my characters through and also very excited to explore where the various characters will go next.
If you like "ensemble series" you may like…
Lauren's Pink Carnation series – one of the delights of this series for me was following the wonderful cast from book to book and seeing them and their inter-relationships grow and change. Even the relationships between couples who had seemingly already had a "happily ever after."
Deborah Crobmie's Duncan and Gemma series – I mentioned in another post recently that reading a new book in this wonderful mystery series set in present day London is like sitting down for a cup of tear sharing a pint in a favorite pub with an old friend. Duncan and Gemma are vibrant, wonderful characters but their friends, co-workers, and children also have ongoing story lines I am eager to pursue.
Winston Graham's Poldark series – the central triangle of Ross, Demelza, and Elizabeth is fascinating, but the other characters, from miners to aristocrats, make for a richly textured portrait of late 18th/early19th century Cornwall that comes to vivid life in this series (and in the 1970s and current television adaptations).
C.S. Harris's Sebastian St. Cyr series – Sebastian has enough ongoing romantic and familial tensions of his own, but his friends, enemies (the most formidable of whom is also his father-in-law), servants, and family add wonderful complexity to the story. In this series, as in others, it's fun meeting characters in the course of a stand-alone mystery and seeing them become part of the ongoing ensemble.
Tasha Alexander's Lady Emily series – I loved Emily and Colin from the first, but I also love following the secondary characters, seeing who will come to the fore in which book, watching them grow and confront new challenges.
Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley series – I found the first book in this series years ago on the "new" shelf at the library. It's a fabulous mystery, but what had me eagerly scanning the lists for the next book was the already complicated relationships among the characters. It's a harrowing journey at times, but in a way that only makes me all the more wager for the next installment in the series.
Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia series – Julia's family may at times drive Julia (and Brisbane) mad, but they add so much to this series, both in their interactions with the main characters and in their own story lines.
So many thanks to Tracy for this amazing list, which contains so many favorites old and new, historical and contemporary.
Which are your favorite ensemble series?
I imagine we could have a great deal of fun coming up with a companion list of ensemble TV series. Downton Abbey, anyone? Doc Martin, Grantchester, more Poldark….
