On Sundays, we do beginnings, taking a look at the start of a Peter Abrahams Novel, including those written under the Spencer Quinn moniker™. Since last Sunday we did Down The Rabbit Hole, first in my middle-grade Echo Falls mystery series, how about we move on to #2, Behind The Curtain? Unlike the Chet and Bernie series, Echo Falls should probably be read in sequence – Down The Rabbit Hole, Behind The Curtain, Into The Dark. Football plays a role in Behind The Curtain – I love writing football scenes!

Ingrid Levin-Hill sat in math class, her mind wandering pleasantly.

(Those of you who have seen me on book tours have probably heard me rattle on about avoiding adverbs, but sometimes they can strike just the right note.)
