I was saddened to hear that my favorite author, Mary Higgins Clark, the Queen of Suspense recently died at the age of 92. She was an incredibly talented author with many books that I and many others have read and enjoyed. Here is one of her wonderful books.
Mary Higgins Clark was one of the first authors who I read and felt inspired to emulate. She was a talented author who has created so many entertaining books that it boggles my mind. Mary Higgins Clark has left quite a legacy for her family and her multitude of readers.
May you Rest In Peace, Mary. You will be missed immensely. Thank you for all you have done to inspire other authors like myself to keep reaching for the stars. I will miss you and what you could have written. Blessings to you!
To my fellow authors – We must take up the torch that Mary has left behind and keep it lit and shining and keep writing to make her proud.
To my readers and fans – please keep reading and reviewing authors books that you love and keep the love going for us and Mary. God Bless!

She certainly was, Michelle! I’ve read most of her books. In later years she had her daughter or other authors writing with her. I always wanted to write with her. Sigh! That will never happen! 😔 🤗

She was 1 of a few Mystery writers I liked. She will be missed, but her books will carry on for her.
Yes, that’s true, Michele! 😘🤗

She’s a literary legend.
Yes, she was and will continue to be! 😆 Thanks for stopping by.
She was a great author. So sad, though she will be remembered through her many books.
