Author Spotlight: Louise Penny: "Sometimes your first effort just doesn’t work.That’s what Louise Penny learned as she spent nearly a decade trying to write her first novel – a historical fiction title. Around that time, she saw the stack of mystery novels sitting by her bedside. A realization came to her: she wanted to write mystery novels, not historical fiction. So the Gamache series began: first with Still Life in 2005, and now, 14 books later, with Kingdom of the Blind."
