Currently Reading

I wil be reading some of the books I bought at the Suffolk Book Festival. Murder Strikes a Chord by Heather Weidner is the first.

When Cassidy inherited her grandmother’s property and event venue business, she also inherited her grandmother’s four sixty plus friends, the Pearly Girls, who wear their pearls everywhere.

In this outing, Cassidy has arranged a nostalgia tour for several rock bands popular during the eighties. The Weatherman are the headliners; that is, until the lead singer and primary songwriter is founded garroted.

Since the relationship between the band members is testy, suspicion immediately falls on them. But Johnny Storm has lived the rock and roll lifestyle so there are plenty of other suspects.

At the same time Cassidy is investigating the murder, and trying to run a business, she is dealing with the mayhem caused by the Pearly girls.

A funny and light-hearted mystery. Lots of fun.

March 5 Two conferences

I will be involved in two conferences on Saturday March 5, These conferences are open to writers and readers both.

Suffolk Mystery Festival

I will be on a panel from 2 – 3 : Mining the Past for Great Historical Fiction

This conference is FREE but you do have to Register.

I will also be attending Murderous March (remotely). The cost for the Saturday panels, pitching, and more. My panel: Villains, the characters we love to hate, will run from 4:45 – 5:00. Taking the Master Classes with Hank Phillipi Ryan or Caterina McPherson costs 40.00 each.

Suffolk Mystery Festival

The Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival is just about my favorite. It is smaller than Bouchercon but everything is perfectly done.

This year I was on a panel with some awe-inspiring panelists. Such thoughtful responses. I look forward to meeting with them again next year.

Next up, my blog tour with Partners in crime.
