1. New books, just in time for WritersFest!
Terminally Ill, the third Hope Sze medical mystery, will debut February first, 2014, in print and e-book. You can pre-order at Kobo or for Nook, iPad, iPhone, Sony and other formats, which would give you a bazillion supercool points.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on these, which are available right now:
2. The Cornwall Public Library is hosting Writersfest October 20-27th. It’s fun! It’s free! It’s chock-full of authors and book-loving people. I gotta say, my bio seems succinct (curt?) compared to everyone else’s, and I swear my picture got distorted in the program, but I’ll still be there on Saturday, October 26th, at 9:30 a.m., talking about “The Mystery of Writing Mysteries.”
I’ll discuss whatever people want to talk about: inspiration, writing, publishing, marketing, promotion via Kobo. It won’t just be me shilling my books. And then you can talk to Kobo yourself, with Jodi White!
I’m looking forward to dressing mysteriously. I plan to wear my black and white cloche hat.
Denise Callister Neilsen, a local writer and editor, will speak tomorrow. I want to come, but will probably be still recovering from my night shift. Otherwise, I’d totally go.
3. Saturday evening, I’ll be at the Posing for Paws SPCA fundraiser after buying some last-minute Hallowe’en costumes for my kids (and for myself? You never know. Mwah ha ha). Because I love animals. And also because one of the respiratory therapists, Tracy, is working hard to get a good turnout.
