#1 was a shot in the dark: Madeline L’Engle (who is really an L, so forget about it).  
#2 was Ed Sullivan. #3 is Ellen DeGeneres, voice of Dora in Little Nemo.

DQ: Do you write mysteries?

Hmmm, having now googled it, I might argue that Brian Epstein, the Beatles’ manager, was the one who introduced them to America.

DQ.  
Yes to mysteries.

OK, that makes sense. I’m down a DQ.

Now all we have to do is think of a living female American mystery writer, over 40, who isn’t Janet Evanovich. This will take some thought.

Oh dear, my lack of understanding of how to play this game is showing. I didn’t realize that guessing my person on an IQ counted, but yes, I am, in fact, Janet Evanovich.

That’s all right. It can be very confusing at first. I’m still new at it myself.

I’m going to wait until tomorrow (June 1st) to start the June Botticelli thread.
