It’s June 1st and in just a little over three weeks A Lady’s Guide to Gossip and Murder, the second book in the Countess of Harleigh Mystery series will be out in the world. It’s hard to believe ALG Etiquette and Murder launched almost a year ago. Where did that year go? Thank goodness I took pictures! (Sorry in advance to those of you who read this blog on Goodreads. I cannot get my pictures to sinc. Please keep reading because I have upcoming events listed at the end.)
It started with a launch party at Aunt Agatha’s Mystery Bookshop in Ann Arbor, hosted by the fabulous Robin Agnew.
More fun at the Kensington Cozy-Con at the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ.
A joint event with my friend, Minerva Spencer also at the Poisoned Pen!
Winning Best Debut Mystery award at Left Coast Crime in Vancouver, CA
Though I wasn’t able to attend the conference, it was still a thrill to learn I was part of a first ever tie for an Agatha Award for Best First Mystery with friend, Shari Randall! (teapot should arrive next week!)
With book two ready to launch, I’m ready to celebrate! First the giveaway! I have 2 advance reader copies of A Lady’s Guide to Gossip and Murder left.
