Bright and early! My historical panel is at 9.30 am. I'll be leading the discussion along with Claire Johnson, Laura Jensen Walker and Allison Davis.

Later in the day come panels on cozy and traditional mysteries, thrillers and chillers, and professional detectives.

Loats of opportunity to meet and mingle with crime writers and some hardcore mystery fiction fans. (I'm both!) 

I'm all over the place this November and December, talking about everything from conceptual art to sausage'n'beans. Don't believe me? Click here for details.  

I am absolutely tickled pink - pale, powdery, pastel pink - to be back at Avid Reader, in Davis, with the right book for the wrong holiday. Come to Easter at Christmas. There's chocolate either way.

SCOT'S EGGS - book eight of the trilogy - is now up on NetGalley. If you're a librarian, reviewer, blogger, bookseller, or other book bod you probably know about NetGalley. If not, its a hub for downloading e-books in advance of publication. You could get in touch with Severn House and ask to join in the fun.
