Hi.  I’m Annie, an avid mystery, thriller, chiller, suspense reader, mom to a teenager and a twenty-something,  wanna-be baker, coffee addict, intellectual property attorney, Russophile and erstwhile emerging market guru.  Nothing about this blog makes practical sense.  I’m not in it for money or fame, and need something extra on my plate like I need another 10 pounds on my hips (which, trust me, I do not need).  But, it makes me happy.

I hope you are happy, or engaged, or intrigued, or interested, or really anything other than irritated in reading it.  And if you are irritated by something, let me know.
