I hope all of you and your loved ones are healthy and safe! This is a crazy time for the US and the rest of the world. Please take all the precautions you can to help stop the advancement of COVID.
We just celebrated Thanksgiving and our tradition is to go around the table and talk about what we’re grateful for since last Thanksgiving. The “table” this year included Facetiming our daughter and her fiancé and we all noted that we are grateful for the technology like Facetime and Zoom that allows us to see each other even if we can’t be close.
Zoom has allowed me to continue critique group meetings, attending online conferences and Sisters in Crime meetings, researching for my next book, and more.
In publishing news, I was delighted to have my first short story — One Flu Over the Cuckoo’s Nest — published in the Crossing Borders Anthology in March 2020! It’s a speculative fiction story in which a centuries old demigod of Flu solves a mystery. A little too on the nose for this year! You can get the book anywhere books are sold or here: https://sistersincrimesd.org/crossing-borders-anthology/
“This splendid collection of fiction is haunting and intense. Bravo to San Diego Sisters in Crime.”
– T. Jefferson Parker, Edgar-award winning author of The Last Good Guy
I hope you stay well (a vaccine is in sight!) and I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
