Mystery Solved...Unfortunately :(

I hate it when my bloggy friends disappear.  Carla's blog disappeared a while ago and I never did find out why (although the blog is gone, she is mentioned in this article).  And while I was saddened by Cheap Chick's last post, I was glad that she did take the time to make a quick post to let everyone know what was happening in her life.  And Gil hasn't posted in months so I am wondering what happened to her.  I know sometimes people get busy, have significant life changes they need to deal with, or simply get bored of blogging but I always wonder 'where did so and so go???'

Last week I noticed one of my favorite writers, Karen Ranney, hadn't posted in a couple months.  I know in the past she would get busy with her books on deadline and not post for a bit but overall she was pretty consistent with her blog and FB posts so it was odd not seeing her post anything in a while.  I even messaged her on FB saying "I hope everything is going well, miss your blog posts!" and didn't hear back from her which was odd (we had exchanged messages about writer-world stuff and she always answered back quickly).  I checked her website and it had a front page post from July 28 so I figured all was OK but when I checked Twitter, I saw this post from her publisher and it reported she had died last month!  That was quite the shock.  So rest in peace Karen Ranney, I loved your books and you will be very much missed in the romance world!

  1. How sad to lose another blogger. I don't post as often as I once did. I like to wait until I have something interesting to write about and there's not much going on these days, so alas, not many posts. I start back to work tomorrow, so that will leave very little time for blogging also, unless of course something interesting happens. I may actually have some news to report in a week or so. ;-)

    1. I love your blog posts! I'm surprised you are going back to school now. Our schools district and all of the grandkid's school districts have decided to go to online school only at least for the first semester. Stay safe!

  3. Wow! I'm impressed that Carla was mentioned by Ty Pennington. She is a fellow Ontarian and I have bought a few of her creations. You can find her on FB at Carla's Creations.
