I’m going to stop referring to myself in the third person — it feels so stuffy — and tell you straight-out that I am teaching a class May 7! It’s called Taking the Mystery out of Writing Mysteries, and it’s my favorite class and topic.  You can find the link to sign up here.  I cannot promise to look just like my author photo, but you’ll know me because I’m the person standing in the front of the room.  I can’t wait to show you my magic book map. 🙂

On the book front, things are going swimmingly (yes, it’s been raining a lot in Austin).  Mother Know Best  came out in April, and has gotten tons of great reviews, which is very encouraging, since I’m working on the third in that series now.  I just discovered yesterday that one of the characters is a Cher impersonator.  Who knew? (Outline, schmoutline.)

Fatal Frost, the second Dewberry Farm mystery, is scheduled for October, and if the stars align, Whale of a Crime (Gray Whale Inn #7!) will be out this summer.  I’ll post links as I have them.  In the meantime, send the muses encouraging thoughts.  I’m going to be spending a lot of quality time with my laptop!

Back to the grindstone, I’m afraid… but I’ll be back as soon as I have links to new books!
