I had a busy and productive February, my friends, and March has started out well. I spent March 2 and 3 in Tucson, attending the Tucson Festival of Books, as I do most every year. I was on a couple of well-attended panels, where I got to talk about myself and meet other historical mystery authors, including the lovely Karen Odden<\/a>, the equally lovely Rosemary Simpson<\/a> and Joe Yogurst<\/a> (also lovely). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I have mentioned before, I have a new book, Lust for Vengeance, coming out, I hope in the fall. This is the beginning of a new series, The Adventures of Bianca Dangereuse, which is set in the 1920s and features Bianca LaBelle, who is a star of the silent movie screen. Quite different from Alafair, but tremendous fun to write. Along with the new series, I’ve also gained a new publisher, Sourcebooks<\/a>, which has acquired Poisoned Pen Press lock, stock, and barrel, to be their mystery imprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky enough to meet the head honcho of Sourcebooks in Tucson when she threw a dinner party and invited all her authors, new and ongoing, to meet and greet. Sourcebooks is a much bigger operation than Poisoned Pen was on its own, so this looks to be a very good situation for we Poisoned Pen authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also learned that Forty Dead Men, the tenth and most recent Alafair Tucker Mystery, has been named a finalist for the 2018 Oklahoma Book Award in the Fiction category. This is the ninth time one of my Alafair books has been a finalist for the Oklahoma award, and I must say the nomination always gives my sales a nice boost! This year I’m in the running against some tough competition, including from my friends Mary Anna Evans<\/a> for Undercurrents and Sara Sue Hoklotubbe<\/a> for Betrayal at the Buffalo Ranch. Check out the whole list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
