As a child I sang and into my teens, but then I lost hearing in one ear. End of my singing career. :-)<br /><br />The strangest thing for research? Old photos. I was taught how to look at photos for clues which included colors in bk &wt and sepia photos. Strange skill. But it's been a great help while researching USA western history of the 1800's. <br /> E.

Well, I did watch "Gravity" not too long ago, so maybe not. Oh, and you can always get voice lessons. What most people don't know about me is that I trained for half my life with my voice. But I'm still terrified of singing in public. Go figure.<br />-LaniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105863399995592739.post-19238665565575980892014-05-20T07:55:20.684-07:002014-05-20T07:55:20.684-07:00Thanks, Kathleen.

Zack keeps me guessing, too. ;-D<br /><br />City of Shadows is a fabulous historical suspense novel that takes place in Berlin between the two world wars. It kept me guessing right up to the end--something that rarely happens.<br /><br />Ariana Franklin also wrote a marvelous historical mystery series that takes place during the time of Henry II. The Mistress of the Art of Death series features a medieval Temperance Brennan.Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105863399995592739.post-60033310674368416822014-05-20T07:15:02.698-07:002014-05-20T07:15:02.698-07:00I enjoyed the interview, Diana and Lois.

Probably because I can hear your voice saying this. Love Anastasia Pollack. What a great sleuth she is. For research, I'd say the time I wanted to find out if my heroine could make it up the stairs tied up. My daughter insisted we try it. I panicked at the idea, I didn't want her to fall and break her neck. She's way more athletic than me and did it in nothing flat. I made my heroine in between me (a klutz) and my daughter a natural and heroine survived :)Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.com
