I spent last Saturday at the Rhode Island Authors’ Book Expo. Met a lot of nice people, sold some books. All in all, a very pleasant day.

I, along with about 100 other authors, will be taking part in the 7th Annual Rhode Island Author Expo this coming Saturday, December 7. The event is held at Rhodes on The Pawtuxet in Cranston, RI from 10:00 to 4:30. All types of books will be represented, from mystery to non-fiction to children’s books. If you’re in the area, please stop by. Admission and parking are both free. Remember, a signed book makes a wonderful gift.

I just got back from a road trip in California doing research for an upcoming book. Stopped in Salinas to visit my friend John Steinbeck. It’s always good to see him.

This past week. I took part in a mystery authors’ panel discussion at the Ames Free Library in North Easton, MA. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time with fellow mystery authors Debi Graham-Leard and Ray Anderson, as well as to meet some very nice local mystery fans. It’s always nice to connect with people.

In the past few weeks, two separate men, both of them radio talk show hosts, have asked me to kill them in a book. Odd coincidence, interesting challenge. I’ve figured out where and when to kill Tom Foie, but not how. I’m not yet sure how I’ll do in Jordan Rich.
