  I tripped over the body of Dusty Routt sometime after10 o'clock on the evening of October 19. . . 
  The New York Times bestselling author cooks up a knockout treat featuring the irrepressible caterer Goldy Schulz. 
  Goldy Schulz has a lucrative new gig, preparing breakfasts and conference room snacks for a local law firm. It's time-consuming, but Goldy is enjoying it -- until the night she arrives to find Dusty, the firm's paralegal, dead. The poor young woman also happens to be Goldy's friend and neighbor, and now Dusty's grieving mother begs Goldy to find out who murdered her daughter. 
  Just because the police are on the case doesn't mean Goldy can't do a little snooping herself. While catering a party at the home of one of the firm's lawyers, she manages to overhear an incriminating conversation and ends up discovering a few clues in the kitchen. Before long, Goldy is knee deep in suspects, one of whom is incredibly dangerous and very liable to cook Goldy's goose.

  The Prediction - A horror story...

  Mary Diana Dods

  Mary Diana Dods was born at some point in 1790.  Much of the details of her life are unknown. 
   
  Accounts propose that she was one of the illegitimate daughters of George Douglas, the sixteenth Earl of Morton and that she and her older sister were raised in both Scotland and London. At the time a good education for women was a rarity but it seems Mary attended school or was home tutored. 
   
  As a writer she seems only to have published under the pseudonym of David Lyndsay. Her works appeared in periodicals such as Blackwood's Magazine and in 1822 she was asked by its founder to provide it with ‘Dramas of the Ancient World’.  
   
  Writing as a male author in Victorian England gave her freedoms which would not be extended to her own gender and, as David Lyndsay, she was able to support herself.  However, by 1822 her letters show that the advent of liver disease was interfering with both work and life. 
   
  Dods thought herself a good theatre critic, was comfortable with her Scottish background and fluent in French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish. 
   
  She also assumed a male persona as the diplomat and scholar Walter Sholto Douglas, ostensibly the spouse of Isabella Robinson. The marriage was, in part, a veil for Robinson's illegitimate pregnancy. They named the child Adeline Douglas. 
   
  In 1827 her good friend and supporter Mary Shelley helped Dods and Robinson too obtain false passports, and to travel to Paris as Mr and Mrs Douglas.  
   
  In her last years she suffered further attacks of liver disease together with other unnamed mental and physical illnesses.  
   
  Her finances had always been a struggle and now her debts consigned her to a debtor’s prison. It was there, after several months within its grim walls, that Mary Diana Dods died of her ailments at some unrecorded date between November 1829 and November 1830.
