…and you’re up for a night of crime, come to Owl’s Nest Books, at 815a 49 Ave SW, Calgary, for readings by six Alberta writers: PD Workman, Alice Bienia, Lisa Bush, Julie Hiner, L.L. Abbott, and me. I’ll be reading from the first Mendenhall Mystery, The Shoeless Kid. The readings, organized by Crime Writers of Canada and supported by Owl’s Nest Books, are from 7 to 9 p.m. (That’s on Tuesday, Nov. 22.)

Come early and browse, then stay for the readings. I guarantee you’ll find something you’ll want to pick up as a Christmas gift!

Yes, but why?

I have a short story, “The Mittens,” coming out in the Jan/Feb 2023 Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine (on the newsstands in December). Ahead of that, I have a post on Trace Evidence, the AHMM blog. “Yes, but why?” addresses the reasons people do the things they do… especially in stories.

And if you’re wondering how the launch of Crime Wave: Women of a Certain Age went, well it went swimmingly! (Never really understood that expression but it seems to fit here…) The book is now available everywhere: https://books2read.com/u/4DPKaP.

Women of a Certain Age Launch!

On October 19th at 5:30 pm Pacific, Sisters in Crime Canada West is launching our second anthology, Women of a Certain Age—AND YOU’RE ALL INVITED! The indefatigable Charlotte Morganti created a series of book trailers / invitations that I’ll be sharing here in the next couple of weeks. Here’s the first one: https://youtu.be/kWTlkExcYG0

The launch event is free, of course but you need to register: https://sinc-cw.ca/upcoming-events/
