    On the Road Too Long

    We’ve been on the road waaay too long. Time to get home.

    I left home on May 26. Dash joined me in Chicago on June 4. Rosie (the Camry) has logged almost 6000 miles in the meantime. We’ve negotiated heat, humidity, rainstorms, closed roads, detours, fast food, and annoyed countless locals with sudden roadside stops. Dash and I have remained friends. (A miracle!) But it’s time to stop pushing our luck and return to reality, yard work, and regular meals.

    So we’re headed home. We want to thank you for coming along on the journey. We hope you’ve had fun.

    Love, Liz (and Dash)

Sherlock Holmes called gemstones the “nucleus and focus of crime.” But they are also at the center of many love stories. In my Eden Beach novels, love and crime are always entangled with jewelry and gemstones. I hope you enjoy them.
