NC Book Launch & Bouchercon

The week ahead marks a homecoming in many ways—heading back to Raleigh, NC, where I lived for more than a decade and which I haven’t visited enough since having moved away in 2003—and in the process it’s a celebration too, with the North Carolina launch of my new book On the Road with Del & Louise on Wednesday, October 7, at Quail Ridge Books, on the eve of this year’s Bouchercon, which runs Thursday through Sunday in downtown Raleigh.

I’m looking forward to seeing friends and family on Wednesday—and then getting together with more friends and other folks in the larger family of mystery writers throughout the week.

My own schedule of events and activities is below!
