WHERE THE DEAD LIE Upcoming Events
I've finally finished Sebastian St. Cyr #13, WHY KILL THE INNOCENT (coming April 2018) and now started on Sebastian #14, WHO SLAYS THE WICKED (coming April 2019). If you've been following my family's various health issues, I can say that Peanut is now fully recovered, fat, and sassy, Angel (who recently had his 18th birthday) is still hanging in there (although he gave us a scare by first getting a bad cold, then by falling off the dryer and hurting his back), and my son-in-law has just undergone a scary surgery which hopefully will fix or at least improve his long string of health crises. We're now 72 hours out from that.
AND things are about to get hectic with my upcoming book release. Here is my current schedule. If you live anywhere in the area of one of these events, I hope you can come by and say hi!

In other news, WHEN FALCONS FALL, Sebastian #12, is now out in trade paperback. My publisher has switched their paperback reprints from mass market size to trade because, bluntly, the market for the little paperbacks is drying up and a lot of outlets don't carry them any more. The New York Times has even quit printing a mass market paperback bestseller list, which is really hard for me to wrap my head around!
It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, the change has on the paperback sales, although the truth is my sales have always been strongest in hardcover and ebook. But I know the switch will be rough on all you OCD types out there. Believe me, I understand.

I'm glad that the cats are doing well. I lost one of mine, Rudy, who was a stray that showed up at my house this past summer. It's surprising how attached you can get to them, even when they started out as someone else's. Poor Rudy had renal failure. He was such a sweet little guy. But my two other cats have been a comfort, even though Cleo is cranky (my husband says only her "mother" could love her) and Dustin ignores me save when it comes to food (he's his "daddy's" boy).
I like those covers! Do they ever tell you who the model is for Sebastian?
