Welcome to Under the Maples. The old adage, “you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl,” applies to me. I live in a concrete jungle today, but I grew up “under the maples.” While I enjoy many of the more cosmopolitan aspects of city living, I’m still most at home where there are more trees and grass than concrete and steel. In these pages I’ll be talking about anything that strikes my fancy, but expect to find an emphasis on history and genealogy.

Great Reads - Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series
Hot summer days. It's that time of year again. When the only sensible activity is one that doesn't require much movement. Whether you prefer to be propped up under a tree, sprawled in the sunshine on the beach, or just smack in front of the a/c, a Stephanie Plum adventure is just the way to go. Stephanie is a fly by the seat of her pants bounty hunter. The situations that she encounters stands her mother's hair on end and has her sometimes boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, guzzling antacid. Her mentor in the bond enforcement game, Ranger, has her listed as an entertainment expense in the Rangeman budget and occasionally puts her on staff to keep her safe. Light and funny, Janet Evanovich has put together an entertaining cast of characters and situations to keep readers laughing out loud. I'm not sure which book is my favorite. Nor can I answer the ever present question....Morelli or Ranger? Can you?
