Claude Bouchard's Stuff: Great crime thrillers, short stories, artwork and more!!

I decided to write this blog post after @HELENSStudio, aka Helen Rittersporn asked me,“How are you alike/different from Agatha Christie?” on Twitter this morning. “An intelligent question,” I said to myself, “and worthy of a brilliant response.” I therefore set off to do some rather in-depth research on Agatha Christie, whom I was somewhat familiar with though, I must admit, I have never met. As for me, little research was required since I’ve known myself almost all of my life. What follows are a number of aspects in which Agatha and I are either similar or different:

Similar traits

• Both Agatha and I are writers.
• We both write novels involving crime, murder and mystery.
• Agatha’s novels, like mine, are intriguing and suspenseful page-turners.
• We both have novels which are available world-wide in both print and e-book formats.
• We have both written series.

Traits that are different

• Agatha is dead whereas I’m not.
• Agatha was British while I’m Canadian.
• Agatha had more hair than I ever did although she never had a beard and I do.
• Agatha was a female which is something I will never be.
• Agatha was rich and famous and I’m still working on that.
• Agatha wrote eighty crime novels while I’m writing my sixth.
• Though unverified, I’m probably more computer literate than Agatha was.

So, the next time you find yourself asking, “How is Claude Bouchard alike/different from Agatha Christie?”, all you need to do is return to my blog and read this post again.
