Michael A. Black is heading to Ventura, CA, this week for a board meeting to plan the upcoming annual Public Safety Writers conference, scheduled for July 14-17, 2017, in Las Vegas. NV. With Mike involved, we know the conference will be fabulous!

Priscilla Royal is back from Scottsdale, AZ, and working on the 14th book. The cats quickly reminded her that sleep is overrated and getting back to earning cat food money is obligatory. 

Ann Parker got the "go-ahead signal" from Poisoned Pen Press to dive into Book #6 of her Silver Rush series. She's got to hit the lap lane fast and swim quickly. She's thinking "discord" might work well somewhere in the title... but time will tell.

Creating a Series: Getting Started

This next week, should they so choose, the LadyKillers will talk about putting it in first gear for a series. It's a different kind of journey!

We invite you to drop by with your favorite cuppa and join the conversation!

A Special Treat on Wednesday...
