Upcoming Mystery Panel in Concord, NH

Happy post-Groundhog Day, and Superbowl Sunday. How about that game, huh? One for the record books, and the ages.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 7th.

The Wings of Knowledge program is hosting us for a panel, with a couple of my fellow Sisters in Crime.
From their events calendar: https://www.nhti.edu/wings

"Noted mystery authors Joy Seymour, Dale T. Phillips and Lea Walt present the “nuts and bolts” of successful mystery writing."

Our panel will be speaking at 6 p.m.in the living room of the library at the New Hampshire Technical Institute, Concord’s Community College.
The address is 31 College Drive, Concord, NH 03301

It's the only on-campus building with a clock tower, so shouldn't be hard to find.

We'll sign copies of our books after the panel, so come on up for a fun night of talking about making mysteries!

Winery, Groundhogs, Football, and Fiction Contest

Hey there- Happy Groundhog Day! Hope you don't have to face it over and over.
It IS a fun movie, though...

Someone said there's a football game on today? Nah, the Patriots aren't playing, so it's not really football, right?

Had a blast at the Author Night at the Winery last Friday night. Wine, books, and authors were there to greet the public and sign books. Good wine, too. Here's the writeup.
Thanks to Chris Obert of Pear Tree Publishing for setting this up.

Tomorrow night, Monday, I'm judging the Flash Fiction contest for the regional competition of the New Hampshire Writer's Project, along with Jackie Malone and James Patrick Kelly.
Looks to be a fun time. Come on by if you're around.

Superbowl

Although not a football fan, I do watch the Superbowl when someone invites me over. So it was last night. Now I know people have their preferences, but most of the people I've spoken to claim to have been rooting for New Orleans. You have to admit, they sure could use a little help down there, and it looks like they got a real boost last night.

Several years after our "government" refused to help, and abandoned a major United States city to a horrible natural disaster where many lost their lives, much of the area down there is still a disaster. The "government" handed over our tax dollars to their corrupt buddies for "rebuilding", and the money went once again into the coffers of the rich, instead of helping the people it was meant to. Insult to injury.

So yeah, New Orleans is justly celebrating, and it should be one whopper of a Mardi Gras this year. Rock on, N'awlins. You've earned it. Your team got off to a rocky start last night, but straightened out and proved themselves worthy.

Laissez les bon ton roulez!
