So far, I'm finding that yes, I've got enough for the four books that for certain will make up the series. Tattoo themes in all of them. Since I don't know if there will be a fifth, I'm just not going to worry about that now :)<br /><br />And as far as amateur sleuths, I actually prefer reading about police or private eyes or reporters (my other series has a reporter character) or lawyers...people who do have a real reason to solve crimes. As a writer, it's a real challenge to make sure the amateur sleuth isn't too stupid to live! I hope I've been successful with that...Karen Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867709664100997228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-14469083301639835982009-11-04T15:58:01.507-06:002009-11-04T15:58:01.507-06:00Ohh, a mystery with a tattoo theme.

Definitely going on the list.<br /><br />I like amateur sleuths better than real detectives, although sometimes you do feel them stretching for reasons as to why the main character is involved in the investigation.<br /><br />Jennifer @ <a href="http://readingwithtequila.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Reading with Tequila</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-48147169683519031912009-11-04T15:12:39.214-06:002009-11-04T15:12:39.214-06:00I love smart, sassy heroines too!
