Okay, it’s officially the witching season, which for me means appearances and workshops in six states and I don’t even know how many cities in between now and Halloween.- Friday September 25 through Sunday September 27, I will be in Greenville, SC, at SIBA, the Southern Independent Booksellers Association Trade Show. I’ll be signing and giving away free books at the Sisters in Crime booth on Saturday at 2:30.

Next comes Indianapolis, IN, for Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, where I will be misbehaving – I mean, signing and paneling - with all my favorite authors, readers, agents and editors. More fun than I think is legal in some states…. this is the one unmissable event for mystery writers of the world.

And if anyone’s looking for a writing intensive in a fabulous setting, I will be teaching Screenwriting Tricks for Authors as part of a four-day, all-day Jump Start Master Class, in Charleston, SC, at this lovely mansion on the beach, sponsored by the LowCountry Romance Writers.
Happy Fall, from the road!

Sweet picture - who's it by? I wouldn't mind getting a version of that framed and on the wall.
Pity I'm not in the US so I can't attend any of your appearances/workshops. Good luck with them though.
I'm still hoping one of your workshops comes to Boston eventually.
But it sounds like a busy schedule you've got coming up. I'm just sorry I'll miss B'Con this year :(
See you at B'con
Wow. Your schedule reminds me a lot of Monsters Inc. :)
Here's a vote for Boston.
Missed the link, sorry.
