Read MoreHome Again, Jiggedy-Jig
I’m back from Malice Domestic in Bethesda, Md., and from the Festival of Mystery in Oakmont, Pa.. If someone asked me to choose between the events, I’m sure I couldn’t. They are very different from one another, but both are wonderful for writers and readers alike. Both are well-organized and staffed by helpful, friendly sort who love to chat with writers. Scrapbook of Secrets didn’t win the Agatha for best first novel. I know everybody says this—and so it appears a little cliche and...

Just wanted to catch you up on a few things. A few days ago, I was interviewed by WVTF’s Sandy Hausman about my books. Here is a link to that interview.

But one more week of book launch month and I will need to move...
Read MoreMy Journey Book—a Very Special Giveaway
Last year, I was totally blown away by the gratitude I felt by so many readers contacting and telling me they loved my book. In fact I wrote a post “Love Note to Readers” about how honored I felt. And I still do. So I knew I wanted to do a special giveaway with the publication of SCRAPPED. Something I felt my readers would truly appreciate. After giving it a great deal of thought, I made what I’m calling a “Journey” book. The idea is that it’s an empty,...
Read MoreBeatrice’s Take on Cookie Crandall!
You’d think that Cookie Crandall, a vegan witch who teaches Yoga, and 81-year-old Beatrice Matthews would not have much in common. But they have become good friends. Beatrice writes about Cookie today on Dru’s Book Musings. Check it out, leave a comment, and win a signed copy of SCRAPPED. As a reminder, tonight’s event has been cancelled. We will reschedule soon.
