and mystery!"

Behind the Seams

In Behind the Seams, the sixth book featuring Molly Pink and the Tarzana Hookers, CeeCee Collins is about
to be a guest on a national talk show to promote her new movie. Her niece Nell is staying with her and
working as a production assistant on the talk show. Though CeeCee is to do a cooking demonstration on the show,
Adele Abrams sees the appearance as a chance to get millions of viewers to be introduced to the wonders of crochet.
Uh oh!
It was fun to be able to mix in a lot of my experiences of being on sets and backstage at various TV shows. And
to include how much the entertainment business is woven into the everyday life of the San Fernando Valley. You
never know who you might see at the grocery store. Or for that matter what TV star lives down the street from you.
Once again there are recipes. The Apple Bumble Crumble that CeeCee makes for her talk show appearance is something I
came up with for a last minute dessert. Just writing about it here, makes me want to make a batch.
I have been making the Baked Pancake for years. It is quick, easy, and delicious. Oh, no, writing about that is
making me hungry, too.
CeeCee’s niece Nell would like to crochet, but thinks it takes too long to make anything, until she is introduced to
Impatient Crochet. I have included patterns for a Cellphone Sock, an Eyeglass case, and a Small Purse - all made using
the Impatient Crochet method. Just a hint - it is much easier to find a cellphone in your purse when it’s wearing a
colorful sock.
