I just had to run over here and laugh...

Trixie just found her way into my novel, lol.

"The next year she had discovered Trixie Belden books. Trixie was a spunky teen detective, much more three dimensional than that silly Nancy Drew, who solved mysteries between chores, homework, and being teased by her brothers. That was the year Gabi decided that she was going to be a detective."

Suddenly, Gabrielle - who is the antithesis of me, so this is extra surprising - decided to wax poetic about her childhood and the next thing I know, she's a Trixie fan! It truly is the only thing we have in common.

Okay, back to the salt mines!
