I was sadden to hear that you will no longer write the Charlotte LaRue mysteries, this has been one of my favorite series, right up there with Death on Demand, by Caroline Hart. Looking forward to any new series. You are an entertaining and engaging author.

Barbara, I have been a big fan of yours since I started reading about Charlotte LaRue. I think I still have one last one to read. I too was hoping, as some of your other fans are, that Charlotte and Louis would getmarried. What I want to really know, is WHERE IN THE HECK CAN I FIND A MAIDLIKE CHARLOTTE? The maids I get could never accomplish what she does, and I am a few years older than she, but myback would be breaking with what she does at her age. Good Luck. I will have to start reading your other books.G.Fleming

Pae 265 in Dusted to Death appears to have a mistake. it says that Angelmay fire Dawn. I thought Dawn was a waitress in Mississippi. What did she do for Angel? This runied the entire book for me. Please tell me it is my mistake and Dawn did work for Angel even though it says she was a waitress.

I live in Burnaby BC Canada. I\'m new to your books. Saw "Dusted" @ our local library, & intrigued by the title, borrowed it. I'm a fan of Linda Fairstein,New York being her AD's locale, I needed a map to follow her Heroine around. Now I'll need a map of New Orleans, to follow Charlotte. around.

I have read and thoroughly enjoyed the Charlotte LaRue mysteries.But in the new book, "Dusted to Death", there is a discrepancy. On page 30, a major character is described as completely bald; in fact he reminded Charlotte of Mr. Clean. On page 258, the same character is being grabbed by his hair (this is about a week later)! Since I read the book in one sitting, the earlier description was fresh in my mind, so I double-checked. Yep, rapid hair growth!

Barbara, You are a wonderful writer. I have kept up with all the Charlotte LaRue series. (Which I love!) I do have a question though. In the end of \\\"Dusted To Death\\\" Louis finally asked Charlotte to marry him. Louis has never been a fan of her putting herself out there to solve the mysteries. Will the series continue with them getting married? Thank you. Sincerely, Amandah Richmond

Hi Barbara, We corresponded a good while back. Your name is my sister's, Barbara, and my name is your son's, Charles. Since that inquiry from me, I've launched my own imprint, have a second printing for SISTERBABY'S MONKEY, and I'm about to send SKULL COUNTY, USA to publishers. While my stories are not "squeaky clean" as you advised, they dig deep into what makes folks tick, grounded in my own family's struggle, oft-times. I hope you son made it back home safe and sound.

Hi Barbara. I discovered your books this year and I think they're great. Unfortunately you and Laura Childs, Kate Collins and Laurie R. King can't write fast enough for me. You guys either need to write more quickly or I'm going to have to learn to read slower. Waiting for a new book in a mystery series just kills me. (no pun intended). However, I'm having a hard time finding all of them. Borders seems to have some of them as out of print and that makes no sense to me as it is a current and active series. You may want to check what's going on with them if the info they are giving me is inaccurate. There's one or two I haven't been able to get yet. But, if no other way I'll get them used. Can't wait till a new one is out.

I love your books! When will there be another "Charlotte" book? I would really love to sit down with another of your good stories and be lost in it until I reach the end and am hungering for more. We have some similarities. My husband and I have been married 41 years, have 2 grown children, 6 grands (3 boys and 3 girls) who of course I adore. 6 mos old thru 11 yrs. Keep writing great books!

I just love your books and can hardly wait for the next one. I share them with my 93 year old Grandma, she loves them too! It's like old friends when I read them, hard to put down, believe me to many nights I stay up to read them and regret it when I have to get up the next morning, but then I do it again that night. I love how you can describe an area, house, people etc. and put an image in my head. You are truly talented. Please keep them coming, I'm anxious for another one.Sincerely,Stacey - Cochranton, PA

Dear BarbaraI am thoroughly enjoying your Mysteries! I am actually a children’s library assistant and much of my reading is from the juvenile collection, but I have collections of mysteries at home including, Dick Francis, Howard Engel, Sue Grafton, Harry Kemelman and others. I am planning to purchase all of your "Charlotte" books because I’m sure that I will want to read them again. I especially appreciate the references you make to “Charlotte’s” Christian faith. Thanks you for your great work.

Barbara Colley:As I was browsing through paperbacks at my local book fair, I came across your book RACHEL’S WAR. The title of the book didn’t get my attention, it was your last name – Colley. Believe or not, my maiden name was Colley. I did get a chance to read your bio and understand that you are from Louisiana. My branch of the family is from Missouri, but my father’s family is from Kentucky. I’m just wondering if you might be a relative. Colley is not a common last name. For years now, I’ve been doing our family research and I am always curious when I see the name Colley. Hope to hear from you.Shirley Colley WadellP.S. My husband and I will be in New Orleans in about a week or so. Do you have any suggestions as to restaurants? Thanks.

Barbara, I am a native Louisianian, also. I was born in Bastrop, LA and now live in Oak Grove, LA, where my husband and I own a vacuum cleaner business and a antique and doll shop. I have grown children and thier families that live on the MS coast who lost everything in Hurricane Katina. Two of my 7 children were born in Slydell, LA. I ran across your website and am excited and looking forward to reading your books. As the children are all grown but one who is 15 yrs old, I have just found time in life to take a brake for me. I have never had time to read books much until recently and was so happy to find your site. Not only the fact that you are from Minden, LA, but from the decription of your books, I am so looking forward to buying and reading them.God Bless and Keep You.Cynthia PullenOak Grove, LA

Dear Ms. Colley,I would like to tell you how much I love your Charlotte LaRue mystery series. I have read all six in the course of a month, just having finished Scrub A Dub Dead. I am anxiously awaiting the seventh book in this series. I feel that my \"good friend\" Charlotte LaRue has gone on vacation. You are a wonderful writer and it is so terrific to find a series that I love to read!!! Please write your next book quickly!! I would love it if you could do a booksigning in the Chicago area. Once again, keep up the good work, you are a superb author. Thank you for filling my sleepless nights with Charlotte LaRue and her quirky adventures. Sincerely,Jean South Elgin, IL

Mrs. Colley, I absolutely love the Maid For a Day series! I have not read any other of your books but plan to. I discovered "Maid For a Day" purely by chance. It is wonderful to be able to pick up a book and read it without having to DEAL with profanity! It is fun to read about New Orleans, and imagine my surprise when I saw my hometown of Minden in Rub A Dub Dead! I then discovered that you are originally from Northwest Louisiana. The only complaint I have about your books is that there are not more of them at this time!!!! Thank you! Please don't retire Charlotte for years and years.

I have your book and will read it..but it's great to see our name in Large print...So, I do have 3 generations, a daughter and granddaughter. We all love this new book. Sincerely, Barbara Colley

I discovered your Charlotte La Rue books on a recent trip to the library and checked out all of them that were available. The librarian is also going to order the other two that were missing from the collection, and I eagerly await their arrival. It is nice to know they care about having complete collections by an author as much as we readers appreciate their being available. I love New Orleans and must say it was a pleasure to become acquainted with Charlotte and her adventures. Oddly, we learned of my husband's becoming a diabetic at the same time I was reading of Charlotte's being diagnosed with the same conditon. Yesterday, I read of the announcement of Hank and Carol's impending arrival on the same day that my husband and her daughter made the same announcement to me! Hopefully, I will have the good fortune to meet you some day, perhaps at the Garden District Book Shop. Until then, I will look forward to finding out what intrigue will surround Charlotte in upcoming books.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Scrub-A-Dub Dead. I was wondering how you would treat Hurricane Katrina, and I think you made the right decision when you timed the book a year after the hurricane. Since I am now getting older, it is really nice to have books about heroines who are also on the older side. Society tends to think older women are invisible. I will be eagerly awaiting your next book in the series. One tiny criticism: you need to get a better proofreader.

I have just come across your site and your books and I can't wait to read one! Your character sounds very interesting and as a former housekeeper/maid, I'm sure I'll be able to relate to her. I'm also an author (not in your league) as my first book, "Lucian's Angel" a fictional romance with a serial killer that takes place in New Orleans, was just released 3/06. I visited there in '91 & fell in love with the city & it's culture, can't wait to return. I was very touched by the video linked from your site. Keep up the good work!

Dear Barbara,
I recently discovered your books and, like the greedy reader I am, have devoured them one after the other. I have just completed "Wiped Out" and must tell you that reading "Charlotte's" musings about the threat of hurricanes to New Orleans sent a chill down my spine. How soon those fears became fact. But I suppose that those very musings must have been a constant background thought to all who lived in and love New Orleans. How ghastly for you all. Now I find myself wondering how in the world you will handle the devastation in future books? Will the awful truth be integrated into Charolotte's life or will she continue to live in the ideal of what could have been had Katrina never happened? I'm sure either way will present a challenge to you, as a writer and as a lover of New Orleans. I love your books and look forward to learning what the future holds for Charlotte and all her friends and family. Sincerely, Linda Lynch

Hi!
I just read one of books for the first time ,"Wiped Out". I really enjoyed it and will be getting all of the rest to read. I was wondering if you signed bookplates (if you're not going to be in the Charlotte, NC area signing books). I would love to add your mysterys to my collection of autographed mystery books. I sincerely hope you and your daughter did okay during and after the hurricane. My heart goes out to all of the hurricane and flooding victims.

Dear Ms Colley;
I am on my second book in your series with Charlotte LaRue. And as I was reading I was just wondering how you made out with the hurricane. I know you really live just outside of New Orleans. Hope you did OK and maybe in one of your following books you might just have a hurricane for Charlotte to clean up.

I totally enjoyed your new book, "Wiped Out" and the Charlotte character. I had a honeymoon in New Orleans and stayed in the French Quarter a long time ago and loved it. I'm glad Barbara and Charlotte are OK and the French Quarter made it through. I'm also a writer, writing a series of articles and a book about my famous magician father, Hugh Johnston. My thoughts and prayers continue for all the people in trouble in the world. Keep writing those wonderful books.

Dear Barbara, your Charlotte LaRue mystery series has given me significant pleasure. I was knocked out by your evocative handling of Charlotte's birthday celebration at Brennan's. As a Houston native, I have fond memories of the Houston Brennan's. And of course I'm enjoying your current book. I identify with Charlotte. I pray that Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and you and yours are well. -- Brigitte

Just finished reading 3 of the Charlotte LaRue mysteries. Charlotte and I are alike in that we both own cleaning services. Some of the stories I could write. But unlike her I have yet to run across any murders. THANKFULLY!! Carolyn in S.C.

Hello! I finally found you! Read aone of your books a looooong time ago, then my mother in law unfortunately decided to give away my book to a friend... Since I was computerless I could only remember that you were from Minden... so (now that I'm "computerized") I googled. Not only did I find you, but found more of your books -YAY!- but also found that you were born in Ringgold. I promise I haven't followed you, but I've lived in Ringgold, went to school at Tech, and moved to just outside NO...
I'm just so excited that I found your homepage and more books!

I just finished Wiped Out and it was wonderful. I was so happy that the baby came and everyone was ok. I also am so happy that her son is getting married. Even thought she sure is planning on this baby, even before she gets him married.
Louis is another one, boy I wonder if we will ever figure him out and if he will ever figure out what he's going to do. And now he has moved in his ex-wife.
It was wonderful. I loved every bit of it and Hated June I was so glad she was bad.
I look forward to the next book eagerly.

I love each book more than the last. It's always nice to discover a new mystery writer who doesn't dissapoint.
One thing...on page 125, it says that you clamored out of your vehicle, rather than clambered. Your editor should have caught it and you might want to tell them for any subsequent editions. I know it's a small thing, but I just thought you should know.
Keep on writing your wonderful books

I love Charlotte LaRue and am so glad that Daniel & Nadia got married and that they are going to have their own, hers and ours babies. Boy her sister is sure a pip, but in Polished Off she seems to be coming around She sure is lucky go have a sister like Charlotte. I had no Idea that you were to 5 already so I am two behind. Must get that taken care of.
Thanks for all the fun and total suspense you have given us with Charlotte. Poor girl cant seem to help herself stay out of trouble. Oh by the way I was so glad that Barbara got rid of that crooked cop. Your solutions to getting rid of the bad guys are so original. May your name become a household word and long live Charlotte.

Barbaram
So many years have passed since I first met you through David, your husband. David and I have been friends for, lets see, getting on to more years than I care to mention.
I had forgotten that you were an author though it was the topic of conversation between David and I many years ago. How could I forget something like that when I too, do like to write. No, I have never published anything or even submitted anything for consideration. Maybe I fear rejection. It is so pleasing to see that you are a success and do so enjoy what you do. Perhaps its to be you shall re-inspire me.
I shall purchase all your works so that I may know you better than one might know in brief conversation.
I wish you well and hope we shall again meet in not too distant future. Give my regards to David.

I was just writing to let you know that I love all of your books and I see that you have two new ones that I will purchase today. I look forward to getting them. I remember the first time I met you it was in an office and you told me all about your books and gave me your card and brochure and I remember telling my family how sweet of a person you were. Keep up the awsome work you are a great author and we love the New Orleans settings.

Hi, Barbara. So nice to meet you! I am from Minden and was hearing your name on radio and TV all week last week and then heard you are from Minden and had to check you out. Next I will have to read one of your books, a first Harlequin for me. Nice website and glad you haven't forgotten your hometown. You live near us now, I see, as we are in New Orleans.

Barbara,
I read your latest book, Wiped Out, after meeting you last Saturday at Murder by the Book. As usual, I cannot put a good book down once I start it! I had to let you know that I loved your description of Mimi's husband as having " a gizzard of a heart"! Charlotte's character continues to delight me as I erupt into laughter over her "thoughts." Thank you for providing such a lovable character as Charlotte LaRue!

Thanks, especially, for the backlist information and links to booksellers for all your books, even for the out-of-print ones.

Dear Ms. Colley,
I just wanted you to know that I have just discovered your Charlotte LaRue mysteries. I just finished reading Maid for Murder and I loved it. Your style of writing is a lot like Mary Higgons Clark. I can't afford to buy books, therefore I have to get them from the library. I raced back to the library and that was the only book of yours that they had. I live in a very small town so new books are hard for them to get, but I placed my order for them to get your books if possible. Thanks a lot.
