Upcoming Events
This was a long list initially. Then dozens of conferences, book tours, and book signings were cancelled in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. (Personal and research travel to Iona, Scotland, and Milan, Italy, likewise was cancelled.)

But I will be Zooming in to libraries and bookshops throughout the coming year. (Zoom is proving to be a lifesaver for authors.)

October 16-17: Bouchercon 2020 is going virtual this year. I am on a Saturday panel (the use of humor in mysteries) and I will be there for the Macavity Awards! Details to come.

October 22: I'll be part of a virtual four-author Sisters in Crime: New England mystery panel at the Camden, MA, library. Details to come.

November 21: I'll be part of the virtual Sisters in Crime: Chessie Chapter Book Extravaganza hosted by Scrawl Books of Reston, VA. Starting time is 1 pm ET. Details on how to join us coming soon.

Postponed until 2022: Left Coast Crime, April 7-10, Albuquerque, New Mexico @leftcoastcrime

Left Coast Crime March 22-25, 2018, Reno, Nevada
