Nice Legs with Author Linda Lee Kane



Nice Legs…

The little rivulets of wine that roll down the inside of your glass after a wine has been swirled are called legs in the United States. The Spanish call them tears; the Germans, church window. Some wine drinkers look for great legs, falsely believing that nicely shaped legs (really??) portend great flavor. In fact, legs are a complex phenomenon related to the rate at which liquids evaporate and the differences in surface tension between water and the wine’s alcohol contents/ Legs have nothing to do with greatness.
With wine, there is very little meaningful information one can deduce by looking at the legs.

Death on the Vine




Just before high school graduation, Daisy Murphy returns home from a football game and finds her mother standing over her abusive boyfriend’s body—holding a bloody hammer. In the aftermath, Daisy flees her home and eventually establishes a new life as an expert winemaker in the Central Valley of California. But as hard as she tries to get away from her past, the effects of that horrible night travel with her. 

Detective Jake Frisco has unearthed a murder at the vineyard where Daisy is employed as the winery’s expert winemaker. It doesn’t take long to discover that Daisy is haunted by her past and carries a heavy burden. It seems that possible involvement in an unsolved murder is part of her life’s baggage. Does this put Daisy at the top of the suspect’s list? Can he put aside his growing feelings for her and follow the leads in the case, even if they take him straight to her as the murderer?

Can Daisy finally face her past and trust that the truth she offers the Detective will be enough to save her? Will she find the courage to ask for a future beyond the sorrow of her youth—a future filled with love and self-worth?

    1. The amount of research I had to do to really understand the complexity of making wine is mind blowing. The type of soil, the type of vines, the varying wine barrels, oak or steel, and the people that grow the wine are just as complex.

    1. Any one who knows me knows I love my horses, dogs, cats, birds, and I use to volunteer at the Zoo and at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. All gave me an interesting prospective on varying animals and people who care for them.

    1. Like Daisy, I was taken away from a beautiful place and did end up in Inglewood. I think many books have a little bit if not more of the author's life. I am fortunate to have survived my upbringing and to have lived the last forty years in Fresno.

    1. After a few hiccups in the editing process Death on the Vine turned out to be something I am quite proud of. I loved researching books on wine, the history of where different vines came from and found their way to the United States.
