Photos from the Aug. 23 signing at Creatures 'n Crooks Bookstore, Richmond, VA. From l-r: Donna Andrews (holding her Cockatiels at Steven--featuring her trademark, wonderful humor); me, and Ellen Byerrum, of the DC-based Crime of Fashion mysteries.

Below, l-r: Me, Ellen again, and Ellen Crosby. Her latest is The Bordeaux Betrayal, part of a lovely series of wine mysteries set in the Middleburg region.

My first book is in bookstores. Hard to describe how much this means, and how long a wait it's been!

And notice the good company DCI St. Just is keeping.

Coming as rather a surprise, Death and the Lit Chick, the second DCI St. Just mystery in the series, is already available for pre-order at Amazon.com.

I've posted a short preview here.
