Please welcome Dr. Richard Mabry, author of the medical suspense novel, Lethal Remedy! SATURDAYS IN THE SOUTH Saturdays in the south—wow, that phrase conjures up a delightful picture: sleeping late, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, reading or catching a movie.

Today, please welcome author Susan Kelly to The Introverted Reader. She’s a fellow North Carolinian!
