WELCOME!
If you're a mystery fan interested in my recommendations, browse in MYSTERY MATTERS. I try to update the page every month with my favorites.
This month's reviews are my favorite mysteries out this summer. They're best served on a lawn chair while lounging at the beach or at a lake...with a G&T in hand too, of course.

If you're an editor or publicist, a selection of my published reviews are under ARTICLES AND REVIEWS and SELECTED ESSAYS.
If you're one of my students at ALVERNO COLLEGE, one of my regular readers, a fan of John's, or you're just passing through, I hope you'll wander in these pages for awhile. Oh, and thanks to Karen Christie for the cartoon images inside these pages.
I'm spending the summer in Cardiff working on a few projects with my brother. I'll post an occassional update on my blog.
Cheers,
Carole

O'Mara Publishing announces I Am What I Am - Follow-up to Anything Goes
"I Am What I Am will be published in October and, like the previous book, will be written by John and his sister, Carole E Barrowman. According to the publisher, the book will offer a "more in-depth exploration of John the man... his thoughts, opinions and experiences, and in particular [will] focus on achievements over the past couple of years".
Kate Gribble, commissioning editor said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be working with John and Carole Barrowman again on a second autobiographical volume. I Am What I Am promises to be just as entertaining, heartfelt and revelatory as Anything Goes - if not more so - and John's many fans can look forward to a very funny, very honest and very intimate treat this Christmas."
