Morgan St. James reinvented self

Morgan St. James authors SEVEN DEADLY SAMOVARS, her latest Silver Sisters comical crime caper, the second in this series.

When asked what it's like to be published later in life, she says, "I'm just turning 70 although most people take me for around 55 and my sister and co-author, Phyllice Bradner is 64. We were both published writers in other genres when we began to write the Silver Sisters mysteries. The first book, A CORPSE IN THE SOUP, was published in 2007 and was named Best Mystery Audio Book 2007 by USA Book News.

The series features identical twins Goldie Silver, an over-the-hill flower child who owns an antique shop in Juneau, Alaska (based upon Phyllice's personality and experiences in Alaska) and Godiva Olivia DuBois, a manipulative, wealthy Beverly Hills widow who authors the syndicated advice column "Ask G.O.D."--her initials. (She is somewhat based upon my personality, although I'm not as selfish as Godiva.) They are joined by their 80-year-old mother and uncle, former vaudeville magicians who love to dress in disguise and go undercover."

Morgan adds, "It's never too late to reinvent yourself. The bonus is that writing the Silver Sisters series together brought Phyllice and I together as best friends."

A delightful series.
