Romance and Mystery Novels

by Alina Adams

There are changes afoot!

After four years of "Where Are They Now... on Ice," the December 2007 publication of my fifth and final figure skating mystery, "Skate Crime," as well as the New York Times best-selling success of my soap opera tie-in novels, "Oakdale Confidential" and "Jonathan's Story," has prompted me to take this blog in -- as they love to say on daytime TV -- a different direction.

In addition to continuing the updates and exclusive interviews with former national and international skating champions (and there are still the archives; just type your favorite skater's name into the search box below), I am expanding to include irreverent commentary on soaps, primetime television, books, writing for a living, kids, husbands, friends and anything else that might cross my mind on a given day.

Thanks for visiting!

IT'S APPEALING....

As Michelle Kwan goes before a U.S. Figure Skating committee, China's Zhao Hongbo is facing a similar crises.

Meanwhile, in Australia, Miriam Manzano lost her own Olympic appeal.

Perhaps Todd Bridges should give it a shot...

And just so it doesn't seem as if figure skating is the only sport where courts have been asked to decide competitions, check out judicial juggling going on in snow-baording, women's skeleton, and yes, even Women's Lawn Bowling.

    I read the Forbes link to Michelle Kwan. And I have a quick question. Out of the panel of five to determine if Kwan is ready, one is listed as a world judge and another is listed as an international judge...so what's the difference? If you judge a grand prix event, you can't judge a world event?

    Hi, Denise --

    It *might* be a difference in ranking, sort of like grades in the millitary. Or it might, most likely, just be a mistake on the part of the person who wrote the article....

    Let me root around and see what I can find out.
