So what do I have on my plate for the rest of this month?
1) Editors
edits for third Lighthouse Library mystery, Reading up a Storm
2) Copy
editors edits for First Christmas Town mystery: Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
3) Page
proofs for second Lighthouse Library mystery, Booked for Trouble
4) Literary
evening to benefit the Price Edward County Library, which I am organizing the
authors and entertainment part of.
5) Baking
for the above (why you might ask? Seemed like a good idea at the time)
6) Library book signing in another town
7) Arthur
Ellis Gala dinner in Toronto (where I do not live) given by the Crime Writers
of Canada
8) Try
and get my blasted garden in before it’s too late.
Then on to June:
1) Finish
Constable Molly Smith #8, Unreasonable Doubt.
Am I complaining? Sorta, but not really. Seems like a lot,
but I am actually organized (who knew) and I have a pretty strict work schedule
that keeps me on track.
And, most of all. I wouldn’t do it, if I didn’t want to. I
love the writing life. Even if the garden has to underperform a bit this year.
And, to prove it, here is a great picture from one of my recent adventures.
Brenda Chapman, Mary Jane Maffini, Erika Chase, moi |
I drove down to Bethesda Maryland for Malice Domestic with Mary Jane Maffini, Linda Wiken (aka Erika Chase) and Brenda Chapman. I can not tell you how much fun we had. We pretty much laughed the entire
way down and back.
We weren’t laughing too hard the first night when we checked
into 1) the wrong hotel in the wrong town and then 2) the right hotel in the
wrong town.
But, fortunately all got straightened out and they were able
to make room for us in hotel number 2. So we laughed about that.
On the way back from Malice, we stopped at the wonderful Mechanicsburg Mystery Bookstore in Mechanicsburg PA. They certainly advertised our arrival in big letters!
