Virtual Heyer Tea Party! (And contest)
Welcome to the virtual Heyer tea party! Since we could only fit so many around the table in Scottsdale– and there are pesky little things like geographical constraints– I wanted to expand the party so everyone could attend. The tea leaves are steeping, the silver strainer is placed carefully over the cup…. Mmm. Smell that…

I’m not sure which bit of the Poisoned Pen conference I’m more excited about: the Heyer tea party or Saturday’s late night pajama party/reading. For those already signed up for the Heyer tea, it’s being held, not at the Biltmore, but at a store in downtown Scottsdale called Tea Time (7051 East Fifth Avenue). For…

The Poisoned Pen extravaganza starts tomorrow! I’m packing my lightest clothes, recharging my camera batteries, and leaving lots of extra room in my bag for the fifty-odd books I know I’ll be lugging back with me come Sunday.

Thanks so much to everyone for sharing your favorite heroes! Many of my own favorites got a mention in there. What would the world be without Darcy and Rhett? Although I doubt anyone would want to seat them at the same dinner table. But I digress. We have winners! Two winners, in fact. The recipients…
Read MoreMISTLETOE Mini-Contest
As you may have noticed, I’m really very fond of the hero of the next book, The Mischief of the Mistletoe. I hadn’t expected to be. Turnip isn’t your typical hero. He rambles; he blunders; he trips over protruding surfaces and his own tongue. He’s Bertie Wooster with a dash of d’Artagnan. But there’s no…
