Thank you to Kepler's Books, for hosting the Afternoon of Chaos, including the Ultimate Fighting Challenge: Mystery v Thriller. Here are:  Cara Black looking winsome; Laurie King looking magisterial; Alan Jacobson looking argumentative; Sheldon Siegel('s arms) brooking no nonsense; and me looking hot because of the reflected glare from my GOLD STAR. Many thanks to  Keith Raffel for putting this together..

With Cara Black, Rhys Bowen and Terry Shames.

What a hoot - interviewing Marion Beaton definitely one of the highlights of my year.

The famous lobster lunch in the authors' retreat at Wigtown.  

Davis Library won the Sisters in Crime  We Love Libraries! award for April and I got to hand over the cheque. Three cheers for librarians Crsita Cannariato (pictured) and Patty Wong for pledging to spend the $1000 on mysteries.
