I emailed Rita Mae Brown asking if she was going to write any more Mrs. Murphy books,

but I haven't heard back yet.

Has anyone ever heard or read of her talking about that?

I kind of doubt she is; she got into writing books about some woman called "Sister" and not too long ago came out with another mystery about a young woman who moved to the Southwest to live with her aunt.

Southwest one was OK, but I personally don't care for the "Sister" series.

1. I think she'll be writing more
I've not heard anything about I don't think she'll stop writing them. They're very popular and whenever there's a demand...

Unfortunately this recent news story doesn't really say, but you might enjoy it anyway. You'll have to scroll down a bit.

5. I have all serious books...
Heavy mystery dramas - need something lighter and will put
Brown on my request list. Also need a touch of James Doss. Both authors will allow me to read with a smile. Food for the soul and even it needs desert.
