    Sheila's Interests
GeneralGenealogy (no, that's an obsession). All things Irish. Travel, anywhere, anytime. Restoring old houses. Cats. Oh, and writing. All the time. When I'm not reading.

And I love old cemeteries.

MusicFleetwood Mac. The Dixie Chicks. Lots of renaissance music. Road music: the Rolling Stones, Springsteen.
MoviesRobin and Marian. The Commitments. Rocky Horror Picture Show (that'll get me in trouble, right?). Jurassic Park.
TelevisionLots. Come on, you culture snobs--I made it through Harvard while watching plenty of series. Now: House, 24, Studio 60, all the procedurals (for business, right?).
BooksToo many to mention, but they number in the thousands.

About me:
MySpace Layouts
Whoopee! It's out! THROUGH A GLASS, DEADLY is now on bookshelves in major chain stores!

Written under my pen name, Sarah Atwell, the series follows Tucson glassblower Emmeline Dowell as she tries to work with glass, run her shop, and solve the murders she keeps stumbling into. And there's a sequel in the works--Pane of Death, due out in November.

And if that's not enough, my second series debuts in August with One Bad Apple, about a woman who inherits a colonial house in Massachusetts and an apple orchard, and decides to try to make a living at it--after she takes care of the small problem of her ex-boyfriend found dead on her property.

I'm a joiner: Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and various sub-chapters. And don't forget the Guppies! (I'm also a member of the DAR and the Society of Mayflower Descendants. No, I'm not rich, nor am I a snob. All my colonial ancestors came over early and stayed put in New England, mostly raising crops or building things--and having children, in one case 17. Besides, I balance it out with the Irish half.)

For more details, go to: my website website or Sarah Atwell's site website

Who I'd like to meet:
Eleanore of Aquitaine. Dorothy L. Sayers. And lots of writers.

Hi Sheila,

We've met before on one of the sites we both belong to, and it's nice to see you here as well. Good luck with ONE BAD APPLE. Michele Scott, one of your fellow authors at Berkley blurbed my book. She's doing very well with them and I'm sure you will too.

Hi Sheila!

Thanks so much for the invite and CONGRATS on your book deal!!!

Reading about your current work... I love glass art! I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by hand-blown art pieces. But I have two small children, so I have to count the years until I can actually buy a few pieces! *g*

Muchos gracias for the add, Sheila. And yes, Berkeley was a wild and wonderful place to live, particularly in the 60s, when everybody was young and refused to believe in consequences.--Susan Albert
