Back to Work
It took a lot more than a Band-Aid or two, but my fractured skull and injured brain are nearly healed! I am happy to say I am now able to begin writing again. Look for Deadly Diamonds sometime late Spring 2021l
Concussion Repurcussions
Today the doctor told me the residual effects from my concussion – lack of balance, issues concentrating, etc. – may be with me for months. Football players seem to heal a lot more quickly. I’m wondering if I should have become a football player rather than an author!
Concussion
Home from the hospital! Fractured skull is healing. Brain bleeds have stopped. Brain swelling going down. Residual effects of concussion – nausea, headaches, balance issues – are likely to hang around for a while. The crazy thing about my accident is that in the book I am currently working on to come out next spring, Amy Lynch has an accident that results in a concussion. I now know that I got it all wrong! Hell of a way to do research. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
The Amy Lynch Investigations Podcast – Episode 5
Episode #5 of The Amy Lynch Investigations Podcast has been uploaded.
Podcast Description:
I’ve learned two things in my life: 1) Few things in this world are as ordinary as they may seem and 2) even insurance can be interesting. This knowledge is what led me to create Amy Lynch. Amy is the brain-child of my late husband and myself. Savvy and sassy, and more than a little bit bold, Amy works as an investigator for New England Casualty & Indemnity. The job takes her to a variety of places – some exotic; some romantic; some seemingly banal, yet full of surprises – all places where I’ve had a few adventures of my own. These podcasts discuss the origins of Amy’s adventures, how they grew out of people and events in my own life, and how much fun I’ve had putting it all together.

Show Notes:
In Deep Secrets, I’ll tell you how to cope when your old flame is in a coma, and what you might do if you can’t make a living selling roses by the side of the road.

New Review
Kirkus Reviews has recently commented on my upcoming book Direct Elimination. They say: “It’s a story that has a tragic beginning and a bittersweet ending. Leave it to Norton, who spent her entire career in the insurance industry, to make investigating claims seem exciting, a formidable task … This fast-moving mystery injects thrills and sizzle into claims settlement.” Direct Elimination will be available June first.
