The Canada West chapter of Sisters in Crime is organizing a one-day retreat in Victoria, B.C. on August 18. There will be five presentations for mystery/crime writers, including one by Laurie R. King, famous for the Kate Martinelli series, the Stuyvesant & Grey series and the Russell & Holmes series. I’m very excited to attend and look forward to meeting Ms. King!

Even in this modern world, the heart still recognizes the power and mystery to be found in a fairy tale.
In Beauty and Wickedness, sixteen authors retell and reimagine some of the most enchanting fairy tales ever told. Within these pages, you’ll find beauty and treachery, magic and courage, innocence and wickedness…and at least some happy endings.
