Rita Mae Brown, author of "Full Cry," reads a short comical passage from her book where two foxhounds speak to each other about their 72-year-old master "Sister" Jane.  The full interview from a 2005 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

Knit yourself a vampire?

A Vampire Kitty and knitting circles – 2 books reviewed.

So there is this nice and cosy, old fashioned, Oxford Knitting shop. With a secret.

And the secret is huge… and involves knitting and vampires.

I am surprised that students in Oxford have enough money to buy knitting wool, but I guess if they are at Oxford, and studying law, maybe they have rich parents. I am also surprised how much trade a knitting shop has – these days it’s tricky to make a living from them, the wool is so expensive, but if you know vampires, and they can knit a jumper in a night, and they have lots of cash then anything is possible.

I read the first 2 books in this series and found book 1 better than book 2, mainly because the big secret is out and thus book 2 had less to offer. I shall not be following up the series further.

In "Sour Puss: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery," author Rita Mae Brown writes the 14th book in a series where a cat by the name of Sneaky Pie Brown leads the hunt for a killer, this time in a return visit to a small Virgina town called Crozet. This discussion took place on a 2006 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" originating in San Francisco, California.
