And as both a crafter and a journalist who's written for a lot of second-rate women's mags, I love Anastasia's background.

Loretta, in Assault ...Thank you, Loretta and Judy!<br /><br />Loretta, in Assault With a Deadly Glue Gun the victim suffers a horrible death, but she wasn't a very nice person. No one shed a single tear at her demise. ;-)<br /><br />Judy, sometimes I stress over names and do quite a bit of research to discover the perfect one for a character. This was not the case with Anastasia. The name just popped into my head. And because I wanted her to irritate her communist mother-in-law on so many different levels, giving her the name of a dead Russian princess seemed practically perfect in every way.

I've blistered myself many times with these glorious little miracle workers and can speak to their deadly pain. Not to mention the "hide" removal if you don't peel that glue off well cooled by water. <br /><br />Love the concept! Great plotting and a lethal weapons technique I'm sure many of us crafty women come writers have often eyed with speculation :) LoLoretta Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992133163167526850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-15771150106059879242017-07-10T07:32:09.774-05:002017-07-10T07:32:09.774-05:00Thanks, Angela!Thanks, Angela!Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-87549102998859980302017-07-10T06:29:27.674-05:002017-07-10T06:29:27.674-05:00A great walk down Memory Lane!A great walk down Memory Lane!Angela Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102308492358084929noreply@blogger.com
