In other news, we will also be attending Bouchercon in Nashville in 2024. Gwen Mayo, my cohort in crime fiction, is the 2024 president of the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of Sisters in Crime, so please congratulate her if you see her there. I'm hoping she'll get to sit on a panel.
Paradise is Deadly: Gripping Tales from Florida’s Gulf Coast has dropped and is available on Kindle and in print. It features "Bolita and Blues," a short story from the viewpoint of Chago Aldama, a gangster who appears in our Three Snowbirds series. It's also a precursor to Ybor City Blues, the third book in the series, which will release in 2024. It's been a while between books and we're pleased to have the new one at last.

A photo from our visit to the Ponce Library yesterday. It was nice to see people again, even masked.
The virus passed, and Gwen Mayo and I have been without fevers for several days now. We will still be wearing masks per the CDC guidelines, which we were going to do anyway.
The event location and time: the Barbara S. Ponce Pinellas Park Library, 7770 52nd St N, Pinellas Park, FL from 2-4 PM. Hope to see you there! Gwen Mayo and I have both contracted COVID. We are already vaccinated and on the mend, but will be following the library's guidelines (and, I hope, negative COVID tests) to protect the safety of our readers.

I play Claudia, a bookstore owner and publisher. Am I the killer? Tune in and find out. I've spent most of this year editing stories for Strangely Funny V and doing a little writing on the side. But, mostly, I've been attending to the details of my life and family. I will be doing a signing with the Gulf Coast chapter of Sisters in Crime this Saturday at Books at Park Place. I'd love to see you. Details at the link.
Gwen Mayo and I joined the other authors at the Florida Writers Association today for the Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading. The event was popular and well organized. There were volunteers everywhere to help us as needed, and the canopy covers over the booths were welcome when the afternoon heat struck. We appreciated the opportunity to introduce our novels to a new audience.
Preview of our schedule next year below: Bouchercon 2018, which will be held in St. Petersburg! The writers all belong to the Gulf Coast Chapter of Sisters in Crime, including me.
