Besides being a panelist with other Agatha nominees, I participated in author-reader "speed dating" and was interviewed at the New Authors Breakfast. I didn't win the Agatha, but I took the contest for Most Creative Hat, a "cha-Poe" featuring a bobbleheaded Edgar Allan, a tombstone, a bat, and a blood red rose.

The Mysterious Bookshop, New York, NY
Launch party for Death Will Get You Sober. My big night was an unqualified success. Sixty people turned out to celebrate my book launch and sing Happy Birthday to me. SJ Rozan introduced me, and fellow mystery writers, childhood friends, professional colleagues, relatives, and buddies from every corner of my past and present life showed up to buy books and taste the book-shaped chocolate cake.

Partners & Crime, New York, NY
I emceed the launch party for Murder New York Style by members of Sisters in Crime's New York TriState Chapter. The anthology includes my short story, "Death Will Clean Your Closet." It's Bruce's first appearance in print, although the events in the story take place after those of Death Will Get You Sober. Books signed by the fifteen authors present sold like hotcakes.

New York Public Library, New York, NY

Book Expo America, New York, NY

Malice Domestic, Arlington, VA
Besides attending this great convention for fans of traditional mysteries, I moderated a panel entitled “I Will Survive! What Doesn’t Kill Them Makes Them Stronger” on Sunday May 6 at 9 am. It was a perfect fit for Bruce, my recovering alcoholic protagonist, but when my husband heard the title, he thought it referred to me and the long road to publication. ;) Fellow panelists: Schuyler Kaufman, Wendy Howell Mills, and Gammy Singer. Just for fun, we put the chairs in a circle to simulate a therapy group.
Tuesday April 24 – Thursday April 26, 2007
