Dru Ann Love reads J.D. Robb's "Naked in Death"

I am so pleased to have another of my very favorite people here visiting today.

Having your very own book fort is huge fun!  I get to visit with people I just don't get an opportunity to see nearly often enough.

And Annabelle is very happy to see her Auntie Dru!

The reclusive figure of Dru Ann Love reportedly spends her working hours at the mysterious daytime situation doing “research.”

Her non-working hours are spent less reclusively on her blog, dru’s book musings.

She is an avid reader and is happy to be in “her element” within the mystery community.

In 2017, Dru Ann attended a record 5 mystery conferences: Left Coast Crime, Malice Domestic, Deadly Ink, Bouchercon, New England Crime Bake.

Dru Ann was a panelist at the MWA New York Chapter/Fiction Writer’s Conference, held in Stamford, Connecticut, 2017.

Dru Ann is a 2017 MWA Raven Award recipient and was nominated for a 2015 Anthony Award for her website, dru’s book musings. Website: https://drusbookmusing.com/

Dru is another friend who is known by everyone in the mystery community, and helps it be the special group that it is.

Enjoy Dru Ann's reading of a passage from J.D. Robb's first Eve Dallas & Roarke novel - Naked in Death, which is so very fitting seeing as how she's Eve & Roarke's #1 fan.

Dru Ann is one of the people responsible for having me hooked on J.D. Robb.  When I finally paid attention and picked up Naked in Death, I was immediately hooked and started grabbing and gobbling each of the books in order until I'm now caught up and waiting for the next in the series.

So, thank you Dru Ann, for introducing me to one of the best series being written today.  There are enough J.D. Robb fans to prove this to be a true statement.
