Connie Jo Miller's love of books and words started when she was ten years old with the Nancy Drew book, The Bungalow Mystery. Connie Jo loved the word bungalow: how it sounded and the picture it brought to her mind. Bungalow was the first word on her "Words I Love" list. Many, many have followed. If Connie Jo reads a book or watches a movie and reads or hears an unusual word, she has to stop, look it up, and write it down. British murder mystery shows have added many words to her list. Her desire to share uncommon words and inspire their use in day-to-day conversations was the catalyst for her Words of Whimsy series, of which Sara Smitherson and the Disappearing Snickerdoodles is the second book.
