I had the pleasure and honor to meet the celebrated Canadian author, Louise Penny, my favorite mystery writer and one of my favorite authors in general. She gave a talk at the Theater of the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The books in her Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series are fascinating, profound, psychologically astute, and full of quirky characters, who all live in the beautiful imaginary small town of Three Pines in the Quebec area in Canada. Louise Penny entertained us with very funny anecdotes about the beginnings of her career as an author.

Of course, I got her latest book in the series and, now I have to apologize for the short post, because I’m busy reading A BETTER MAN. Like all the others before, it promises to be another fantastic book.

Here are a few photos of the theater at the Ace Hotel, a marvelous venue in downtown Los Angeles!

Back to reading …

My friend Diane from Cincinnati, who used to live in Los Angeles and wants to move back into warmer climates, came for a visit. We explored properties in California and enjoyed our time together. Here we spent a relaxing day at the Getty Center with its wonderful museums and beautiful gardens.

The Book of Beasts was a marvelous exhibition. It shows how animals, both real and fantasy creatures, were used as religious and artistic symbols in the Medieval World.

Cheers!

And onward to the next adventure.
