June sees the reprint of The P-Town Murders from Cormorant Books. Same book, new cover. (If by any chance you missed it, you can pre-order it from: Chapters/Indigo or Amazon.ca) I’m thrilled that Bradford Fairfax and his crew have found a good home after the sale of Haworth last year. And a very prestigious home it is: Cormorant is the publisher of a number of renowned authors! Bradford’s second volume, Death in Key West, is due in the fall of 2009 while a third, Vanished in Vallarta, is slated for 2010. In the meantime, my literary novel The Honey Locust is scheduled for publication with Cormorant next spring.

PS: If you're in Toronto this month, we're having our Annual Summer Solstice Party on Saturday the 21st. Drop by 35 Shudell Ave after 8 pm. We're always happy to meet new friends!

One of the best things about participating in a writers festival is the opportunity to meet new ... [Read More]
