Dorothy Parker Mysteries

It Seems to Me . . . was the byline of Heywood Broun’s
column in The World.

 

Well, it’s here!  A Moveable Feast of Murder is published and available around the world in print and in all the various e-book formats!

What fun it has been crossing the Atlantic with Dorothy, Mr. Benchley and Ernest Hemingway.  I’ve had good times in Paris with Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, and Gerald and Sara Murphy couldn’t have been more hospitable, showing us around town and taking us to all the hot spots in Paris of 1926.  There was a bit of murder and mayhem, but when is there not in a mystery novel?

I am fortunate to have had the expert technical and artist skills of Shelley Flannery and Eric Conover who work as a team with me to bring the stories I write to my readers.  Thank you Shelley for suggesting the title of this book. Thank you, Jeannette Sinibaldi for “pardoning my French”, correcting my French spelling, applying the appropriate accents where required, answering my questions, and helping me to map out a parade route through the streets of Paris.  Any errors in French are entirely my own. Also, to Gina Grant for additional assistance on the Paris section of this book.  I send heartfelt thanks to architect and artist Benedetto Puccio for photographing the Paris landmarks featured in this book,  and to author Anatole Konstantin (A Red Boyhood: Growing Up Under Stalin) for sharing his insights and knowledge of the Soviet Union and communist activity in Europe in the 1920s. Thank you Michael Alan Mayer, author of Time Trippers: The Nights of the Round Table for passing on to me so many details about France in the 1920s, and to Les Dean of the National Railroad Historical Society for details of 1920s European rail travel.  I appreciate Facebook’s Virtual Ocean Liner page, and its anonymous patron who has answered all my questions about Steamship crossings.  Thank you, Frank Pelkey at Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls, New York for assisting me in my research, and friends and members of The Robert Benchley Society who are continually educating me about all things Benchley.

Read and enjoy Dorothy’s Paris adventure!

Until next time,
