My writer friend, Carolyn Haines, has a new Sarah Booth Delaney mystery out next month. Her publisher’s done a super-fun .GIF Notes piece for the book, Sticks and Bones. So cute!

Modern Mrs. Darcy is one of my fave, go-to blogs for books and lifestyle. Here’s one of her latest for National Library Week about Carnegie libraries. And since I’m shopping for Tieks, I was glad to read about her (very positive) experiences with them.

Speaking of friends with books: J.T. Ellison’s terrific domestic noir, Lie To Me, won’t be out until September, but not only is it up for pre-order, it has a gorgeous cover, too!  (Nookies, here’s your link. 😊)

Watch this space! If all goes well, you’ll be able to pick up my Edgar-nominated story, A Paler Shade of Death, at Amazon next week.

Last Saturday my guys and I went to Wizard World Comic Con in St. Louis. So many amazing costumes–photos on the blog.
