Holiday Newsletter

Happy Holidays! Hope yours are safe and happy.

The year ends with a broken tooth, nagging pain that won't go away, my job (and healthcare) stolen by the Grinch, and my newly-married daughter absent for our Christmas. 😢

But aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln...


Been a busy year for the writing. Lots of appearances, signings, and talks. 

To detail it all, my newsletter is up on my website.


Stay safe and continue to wish for peace and justice.

Had a nice time at the Chelmsford Library Multi-author Signing.

 

On a rainy Sunday, lots of folks coming by to shop.


Our thanks to the library and to Jill (center), who set this all up!


We had a number of good authors, like David Daniel



Kameryn James, a second Mona Lisa...


Dave Agans. Yes, the tinfoil hat is explained in his books






Glad to have this venue back after Covid put a damper on it. 
Look for us next year!

Bookstore signing for Small Business Saturday

Happy Post-Turkey Day. Hope everyone had a nice holiday.

Had a busy weekend after the bird, with two craft fair signings, and a multi-author signing at the Valley Wild Bookstore in Littleton, MA, in support of Small Business Saturday.



Had a bunch of familiar faces there, and a new author who's got some buzz going. 

Here's the owners, Andrew and Alexis.

Here's Kameryn James





And a new addition: Mike Preston (and son)



Great day meeting new fans and signing books for the holiday reading or gift list.

Lots of other stuff as well.

Portsmouth Noir at the Bar

Had a great time at the Portsmouth Noir at the Bar- where a dozen mystery writers got up to a mic in the Portsmouth Book and Bar with an audience, and read from one of their works. 


We even made the NH magazine

Lots of talent- I've got some pics, but was late, and didn't get everyone. 😞


Thanks to Zakariah Johnson for setting this up, and to the bar for hosting! 

He's also a heck of a good banjo player!
