Baldacci, Austin

Enjoyed the strong female characters in Baldacci's The Target. So is this a trend? One can hope.

Austin-bound with Texas Authors Association at Malvern's soon!

AuthorSpeak

Great conversation at DPL yesterday moderated by Robert Wilonsky from The Dallas Morning News. Authors Harry Hunsicker and Karen Blumenthal participated with me. Both had many enlightening observations on the writing process. Great, relaxed venue, thanks to Kate Park, FoDPL ED.

Party On

Literary lagniappe for the final day of the STRIKE PRICE release party (in the spirit of Mardi Gras, which goes on for about a month....) Why does the Raven Mocker appear? Who employs the assassin?

And for anyone recovering from yesterday, Robert Earl Keen writes, "The road goes on forever and the party never ends."
