I love words. I love them so much that sometimes I make up my own*, drop them in random conversation, and watch people stare back at me in disbelief.

One phrase you’ll hear me utter quite a bit is, "Is this the correct way to pronunciate that word?"

If you are like me and love Agatha Christie, check out Louise Penny. She writes a great mystery series set in Canada, mostly around a fictional town called Three Pines. Three Pines is a little town that nobody goes to on purpose. But everyone who finds their way there, tends to stay forever. It is a haven for Anglo and Franco phones alike, artists, poets, burned out bankers and psychiatrists, and any other misfit or lost soul out there. They have no crime, except murder.
