Shiny New Books and Conference Time!

The Haunted Habits newsletter really does rise from the dead every so often!
I have a whole bunch of news to share. First, Death of a Bad Penny is live! It’s the first in my new mystery series from Level Best Books:

College professor Cordelia West loves her life–until her deadbeat husband returns at the losing end of a car chase and gun battle. He dies in her lap in front of a packed restaurant. Powering through the police interrogation and bystander videos going viral, Cory vows no man will ever wreck her life again.

But after finding the cryptic artifact he slipped into her pocket as he died, Cory has a new problem: the killer’s after the artifact. Now she’s stuck with a charming detective who insists on helping her as they go on the run. Dodging the relentless killer and the detective’s suspicious behavior is giving Cory whiplash. She’s seriously considering smashing the artifact over Mr. Charming’s head.

Next, we have volume one of the John Silence anthology from Belanger Books.

I have a short story in this anthology, Darkness and Light, in which a nun kicks John silence’s butt, figuratively.

And the in-person news: I’ll be at Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity September 18-20!

It’s at the DoubleTree Hilton in Columbia, MD. There are two ginormous group book signings–open to the public–Friday the 18 and Saturday the 19th from 4:30-6pm. And if you’re tempted to attend this fun, friendly, fascinating conference, I’ll be on these panels:

Friday 3:45-4:30
Saturday 1:15-2:00

That’s all the news for now. I hope to see you there, and have fun reading!
