News for the Site
Hey Gang. We are getting a pretty good response from those who want to be contributors. I have added a Sign-on Widget to the top Right Hand Corner of the page. We need more contributors to make this fan blog interesting. So please feel free to sign-on as a subscriber and then email me to change your status at: becomeacontributor@mrspollifax.com
All subscribers can make comments on posts and all contributors can make new posts and upload pictures.
Just remember to stay on topic and keep the language rated “G” as this is a family website.
I Finally got a response to the Cherry Lawn website that has yearbook pictures. Yes, Dorothy Gilman taught at the Cherry Lawn School and she is in one of the Yearbooks. However, her name is not attached to the photo and we think it is this one:

We want to thank our reader A.O. who submitted the picture!
Keep reading!

Site Downtime this past 2 weeks
Hello Dorothy Gilman Fans! We had to migrate the site to a new webserver the past 10 days. We apologize for the site being unavailable during this time. However, we believe that this new server will serve us and our other subscribers with increased support and more flexibility when adding new features to the blog. The server is secure and should allow us to be more respondent to future requests.
The bad news is that we lost all the subscriber information. I will be sending out a newsletter to all those who have sent in emails, signed the guestbook and who made comments in any of the posts.
Just remember due to the increasing problem with hackers and spammers only those who have subscribed to the blog are allowed to make comments. Subscribing is very easy in that you just click on one of the posts, click make a comment and the system will walk you through the quick registration process. Once you have registered you can email me if you would like to become a contributor or author to the blog and I will reset your settings. (jolene.macfadden@mrspollifax.com) Any author or contributor will be able to add new posts (subject to my approval), upload pictures and link videos from u-tube and the like that may be relevant to our author, her characters, etc. The last advantage of becoming an subscriber is that I can send out emails with new updates to the site whenever they happen as well as any news about the author, bargains on her books, where the two movies can be seen and whatever else that may be pertinent to her many fans around the world.
You can still sign the guestbook without becoming a subscriber and if you are familiar with “feeds” our subscribe to the blog button is finally working. If you get daily news updates or have subscribed to any other blogs you will find the process easy to do and you will see any new posts every time you sign-in to your Yahoo desktop, AOL desktop, Google Desktop and whatever other place you have setup for that purpose.
Again, we apologize for the downtime and our inability to bring over our subscribers and hope you will rejoin us once again. Thanks for your patience and we look forward to your comments, Guestbook messages and emails.
Sincerely,
Jolene MacFadden

Information on Making Comments
Please feel free to make comments on any of the posts. Wordpress requires that all commenters go through a quick registration process and they immediately email you a password. You should be able to change this password once you sign on for the first time. This serves two purposes, one it cuts down on spammers who send junk to posts and two with a user name and email address I can make you a contributor or author AND that allows you to add stuff to the site and I can email anyone registered when there is exciting news. You can also subscribe to the site without registering with this site through the RSS button. This will give you updates as they happen. WE are just starting out on our blogging journey and hope to have everyone who wants to participate be given the opportunity.
Thanks to those who have started posting in the Guestbook area. Email me with your suggestions or questions and I will try to answer them. I hope to be able to include a forum as soon as I figure out how to add that service. As I stated in the Welcome post this type of website gives us more control over the content as well as the look of the site with the least amount of hassle.
Feel Free to browse around and as I stated in the first entry I will be adding content as I come across it as well as having some things available for download from the old site as well.
Cheers!
Jolene, your webmistress

Mrs Pollifax Unveiled
Published in 2000
The late book in the series. After facing down hijackers on a flight to the Middle East and saving the lives of the passengers on board, a young American woman steps off the plane in Damascus in a blaze of celebrity and disappears….. The CIA believes Amanda Pym was kidnapped, possibly murdered. Masquerading as Amanda Pym’s worried aunt, Mrs. Pollifax begins her determined search, slipping through Damascus’s crooked streets and crowded souks….and trekking deep into the desert. Yet she is shadowed by deadly enemies, whose sinister agenda threatens not only Mrs. P. but the fragile stability of the entire Middle East. Only a miracle – - or brilliant counterplot — can forestall a disaster that will send shock waves around the world.

Mrs Pollifax Innocent Tourist
Published in 1997.
Thirteenth book in the series. Working with her retired CIA friend John Farrell, Mrs. Pollifax must smuggle a manuscript out of Jordan, a document that encodes the shocking truth of Saddam Hussein’s reign. Hardly are the two airborne when the coils of Middle Eastern intrigue begin to unwind. Mrs. Pollifax’s seatmate is not the affable Arab businessman he pretends to be. It is not imagination that persuades Mrs. P. that wherever they go, she and Farrell are followed. To elude their pursuers in such a politically volatile country isn’t easy. In fact, it can be downright deadly…..

About Your Sponsor
Hey Everyone! This theme includes and about me page so I thought I would fill in a little bit about me the creator of the Mrs Pollifax Fan Blog. I started the website about 7 years ago. I am a great fan of Dorothy Gilman and have read all of her books. I also love to work with computers and to create websites. I have changed the design of the site several times over the years because I get bored with the way things look and hope that the readers of the website appreciate a new look every now and then. With this type of format I will be able to change the look of the site as often as I want without having to retype and upload everything. The other great thing is I hope to be able to stay in touch with all of my fellow fans as well.
I probably will not be creating any more newsletters as they are very time consuming however, if you would PLEASE sign on as a subscriber I will be able to email everyone at once about changes and new posts in the blog. AND if you want to contribute new posts to the blog for commenting just subscribe and then email me so I can change your subscribers status to contributor.
I hope to encourage the other fans out there to submit their own story ideas about what happens next to the great characters that Dorothy Gilman created as well as any fan art, poems, limericks or whatever. We just ask that you keep it rated “G” as are all the writings of our favorite author. If you have any pictures to upload let me know as I am still learning about Wordpress Blogs.
Cheers

Mrs Pollifax and the Lion Killer
Published in 1996.
Twelfth one in the series. In response to a desperate SOS, Kadi Hopkirk flies to the African country of Ubangiba, where her childhood friend, Sammat, is soon to be crowned king. Mrs. Pollifax, reluctant to allow the girl to venture alone into what she fears may be grave danger, crashes the party. On arrival, Kadi and Mrs. P. soon discover that Sammat has dangerous enemies. Rumors are springing up that he is a sorcerer who is responsible for a rash of shocking murders in which the victims appear to have been clawed to death by a lion. These crimes are especially terrifying because there are no lions in Ubangiba. So Mrs. Pollifax wades into the fray, hunting for the source of the bloody terrorism that threatens Sammat and Ubangida – - not to mention Kadi and Mrs. Pollifax…..

Mrs Pollifax Pursued
Published in 1995.
It is the eleventh book in the series. The last thing Mrs. Pollifax expects to find in her closet is a young woman hiding. Kadi Hopkirk insists that she’s being pursued by two men in a van. Under the cover of darkness, Mrs. P. tries to drive Kadi home to Manhattan only to have a dark green sedan give them a run for their money and, Mrs. P. begins to suspect, their lives. Ever resourceful, Mrs. Pollifax puts in a call for help to her CIA colleague, Carstairs, who installs them in a safe house — at a carnival! Before Mrs. Pollifax knows it, a dash to safety expands into an assignment that leads to hair-trigger violence in exotic places…..

Mrs Pollifax and the Second Thief
Published in 1993
Tenth book of the series. The assignment is a snap: Mrs. Pollifax just has to shoot some pictures at a quiet funeral outside Washington and take them to Sicily, where her old friend Farrell — a former CIA agent turned art dealer — anxiously awaits them. But like all Mrs. P’s assignments, so ostensibly suitable for the CIA’s favorite garden club member, this one quickly turns lethal. Her welcoming committee in Palermo includes a most unlikely CIA agent and several unseen enemies. Unfriendly eyes also observe Mrs. P’s rendezvous with Farrell in a secluded mountain village and weapons are soon displayed. With mysterious forces hot after them, she and Farrell scurry for safety to a fortified country villa, where the bizarre Chatelaine, once a star on Madison Avenue, is almost as unnerving as the dangers she’s protecting them from. So, though the sun shines brightly, the food is delicious, and romance is in the air, Mrs. Pollifax is too busy handing out karate chops and playing catch-me-if-you-can with an assassin to enjoy the amenities…..

Mrs Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish
Published in 1990
Ninth Book in the Series. Emily Pollifax, pillar of the Garden Club and occasional agent for the CIA, is once again called into action, this time in Morocco. Her assignment seems simple enough: accompany Max Janko as he travels across Morocco confirming the identities of seven undercover informants — and try to keep him from making an unpleasant ass of himself. Immediately, things go horribly wrong. The first is Max is not who — or what — he says he is. With no one to bail her out, Mrs. Pollifax determines to outfox the enemy and check out the remaining informants on her own. Only Mrs. Pollifax would expose herself to the dangers of being an American and a woman alone in Morocco. And only she would forge ahead, knowing as she does that one of the original informants has been replaced by a deadly impostor….
