busy days

Whew. Is it holiday madness already? It seems like the last month has flown by.
In mid-November I was in southern California for the Giant Mystery Ice Cream Social that is Bouchercon, the world mystery convention. The weather in Montana was below zero so the sunshine of Long Beach harbor really felt good. There was much merriment and flogging of books but meeting up with old friends and making new ones is always the best part of the convention. I think I’ve finally worked out how to have a great mystery con. You were thinking *alcohol* weren’t you? But no! Having a gregarious roommate is the answer. I usually try to room alone, so I have a sanctuary when the social gets too much.

Check out their books Lee Child • Robin Burcell • Sara J. Henry

Next year Bouchercon hits Raleigh, North Carolina. Can’t wait.
Back home I have been writing madly to finish up the Bennett Sisters novella, Give Him that Ooh-la-la. I finished the first draft last night. There is still work to be done, accents to be checked (that darn French), plot holes to be filled. But look for it December 20 at your favorite online store.
Lastly if you’re feeling lucky here’s a giveaway I’m participating in. Some serious cash up for grabs. Stay happy!
Sounds like Bouchercon was a blast, Lise! Having a gregarious roommate is a capital idea 🙂 Happy holidays to you.
It was fun, Daphne! Although I haven’t been for four years — so there’s that! Lots of new “facebook friends!” Hope to see you there one of these days!
