Well, Willetta is still in Michigan, Dearborn to be exact, toughing out the recession amidst empty auto factories and growing insurrections. “But hey, that means I have more time to read”. She’s still pugging away on her mysterious activities and happy as she can be given the state of things in our Brave New World.
This is the site of her new venture, Willetta Recommends. She will be continuing to review and recommend mysteries, authors, and many other items as well. A not well-known fact about Willetta is that she is a killer gift shopper. For years she has done the holiday and birthday shopping for her family (large) and for her zillions of friends and foes (even larger). Every conceivable event, personal or global, means a gift or card from Willetta — always high quality, always appropriate, and always fun.
The Willetta Library
This will also be the site of the Willetta archives. Unbeknownst to those of us who are not named Willetta, there is more than one. Dozens, actually. And Willetta has ferreted out many. There are also streets and buildings named Willetta. So stay tuned.
So excited to see you “back”!!!! What’s the latest on the guidebooks? Are you doing anymore? They have been a wonderful addition to adding to my reading lists! The last I have are Detecting Women #3 & Detecting Men.
Hope all is well with you. Looking forward to your recommendations, friend!!

Miss you, Willetta. Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.
Hugs,

You go, girl!!! Wishing you the best in “Willetta Recommends.”
I am very intrested in others named Willetta. I have lots of people ask how I got this name. My Mother told me that at 9 years old she read a book about an indain Family an a child named Willetta. Said right then and there that when she grew up and had a baby girl she would name her Willetta. So in 1944 I was born. I love having such a different name.
Has there been a more recent version of Detecting Women 2?
I would love a new one! D.
Dear Willetta: We met at the former “Mystery Books” in Bryn Mawr, PA, many years ago. I just miss your mystery guides so much, and treasure the ones I have. I can’t get a hold of a copy of the one on police procedurals.
I just hope you are well, and also your work is acutely missed. Any chance of another edition of “DW”?
Best wishes
Please connect me to Willetta Recommends.
Please write an updated Detecting Women- my friends and I will buy it immediately. Thanks, Karol
