Due to Weebly's decision to discontinue offering free sites attached to custom domains, we (the partners at MAHLLC) have updated our author web addresses. I'm expecting a lot of broken connections while we get caught up. The new site addresses should be: ​https://sarah-e-glenn.weebly.com https://gwenmayo.weebly.com The catching up will be its own special fun, and I will work on it between frequent impulses to scream. Not sure if the lady in the pic is supposed to be in water, milk, or glue, but I'm betting on glue. Stock photo. We have no tub ..read more

I'd say it was hard to believe it has been so long since my last post, but that would be lying. We've been terribly busy with personal issues, mostly connected with our families. It has been an emotionally and physically exhausting time. On a slightly better note, we also had an American wedding in May, which we hope will better preserve our rights if the Supreme Court or Congress turns against us. Despite the above issues, we did succeed in getting Strangely Funny IX published. It's available in print and Kindle from Amazon, and features stories from the usual suspects plus some newcomers. B ..read more

Last year, and this year, have been busier than usual. My mother's health has taken a turn for the worse, and we have been tied up with her needs. If you really want the gory details about it, you can look at the blog post on my personal site. We had to turn down several submissions of novels and story collections because we could not devote the time that they would involve. The good news is that we are still plugging away at projects in between the blocks of time we must devote to my mother's needs and concerns. Sort of like grout. Late this spring, we will publish this year's Strangely Funn ..read more

We joined our local chapter of Sisters in Crime at the Ponce Library in Pinellas Park yesterday for a panel on mysteries. It was a good opportunity to introduce ourselves and some of our products to potential new readers. The only book on the table we didn't publish was Hoosier Hoops and Hijinks, but Gwen and I did have a Three Snowbirds story in it. This was the first appearance in what we hope will be a better year for in-person sales for ourselves and our authors.

The reception before the event was hosted by Campbellsville College and featured many of the leading lights in Kentucky literature.  The day of the festival, our corner of the room was very busy! Many fellow authors and bourbon fans stopped by to chat and pick up a copy of Mystery with a Splash of Bourbon, signed b ..read more
