Summary

First, dogs. Now, cats. Who knows where this podcast will lead me next?

Come see me on tour! 4th-9th of March in the Northeastern U.S.! Visit my website for more details.

You can now buy Loose Lips, the second book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, here in the United States.

Check out Kate Jackson's excellent article about cats and mysteries.

And here is the article I referenced on the blog Literary Potpourri, which I found to be helpful.

You can also buy The Busy Body, the first book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, in paperback at your bookseller of choice (make it an indie if you possibly can) in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia and New Zealand.

0:46.8	The next day on Thursday, March 6th, I will be in Connecticut at the Avon Free Public Library.
