JusJoJan Today's Just Jot January prompt from Ritu through Linda unites two of the published authors I follow in a fun prompt: While I am not a published author, blogging in this community has brought me close to several authors, and I have enjoyed that experience very much.

Announcing the Launch of Murder at the Bijou — Three Ingredients I Introducing the second “three things” serial, in novel form — Murder at the Bijou — Three Ingredients I. Yes, that’s the cover.
