Mystery Making in Dedham

We had a great time at the Mystery Making panel at the Dedham Library last night. The library worked with Sisters in Crime to bring us there to make a mystery on the spot from audience suggestions. 

Thanks to Ari and the library staff for making it happen. 

A full house for the event! Always nice.

Our erstwhile panelists 

Here's the lineup: Lorraine Sharma Nelson, me, Nicole Asselin, Julie Hennrikus

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.

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.
