Today I will participate in a live ‘Zoom’ interview with published author Karen Crawford, and other members of the ‘KC Reads Book Club,’ to discuss my crime thriller novel ‘Furlough.’ Members of the book club have purchased and read the book prior to this scheduled meeting, and some have already offered written reviews. A big thank you in advance to Karen and her participating members! I am very much looking forward to it. (Discussion to follow).

Please see karencrawfordmysteries.com and @karencrawfordmysteries (on Instagram) for details on her books and her book club that so graciously features independent authors like me.

9/5/22 update:

I’m excited to announce my upcoming attendance at the 2022 Bouchercon mystery/thriller writer’s conference, to be held from September 8-11 at the Hilton hotel in downtown Minneapolis, MN. Not only is Minneapolis my hometown, but I’m also excited since this conference will showcase the New Author pitch session, to be held Thursday, September 8 from 5:30-7pm in the hotel’s first floor Gallery. It will also showcase the Underrepresented Voices Reception, presented by Crime Writers of Color, to be held Friday, September 9 from 7pm-8pm, also in the hotel’s first floor Gallery. I will be participating in both receptions.

On Friday, September 9 from 9am-9:45am I will co-host the conference panel Blood Runs Cold–Mystery & Horror, where other panelists and I will be speaking about stories that keep you up at night.

Aside from looking forward to the many other panel discussions I plan on attending during the four-day conference, I’m excited to meet and network with the hundreds of other industry professionals who will be attending the conference.

Much fun will be had, I am sure. If you’re attending, or just visiting the area, stop by the hotel’s bookstore where my two novels Furlough and Dead Reckoning will be available for sale. With each purchase I will be adding a complimentary, custom-made bookmark. Feel free to contact me via my social media accounts for a book signing too, as I will be in the area until Monday morning, September 12.
