Blog Tour!

Okay, you know that I'll be visiting a number of cities in December to meet readers and talk about INSPECTOR SPECTER and THE QUESTION OF THE MISSING HEAD. (And if you didn't know that, see below.) But if you don't happen to live near one of the cities on the tour, not to worry! I'll be at a blog near you for sure in December!

Here's the itinerary (so far) of the blog tour:

Gotta Write Network on Monday, December 1;
The Qwillery on Tuesday, December 2 (and a chance to win a copy of the book);
Lori's Reading Corner on Wednesday, December 3 (giveaway);
Marie's Cozy Corner on Tuesday, December 9 (giveaway);
Stuff and Nonsense on Wednesday, December 10 (giveaway);
Debbie's Book Bag on Friday, December 12 (giveaway);
Fresh Fiction on Tuesday, December 16;
Dru's Book Musings on Thursday, December 25 (although you might have other plans that day--but there will be a giveaway!).

More info as it becomes available. I hope to see you on the book tour, or read your comments on the virtual tour!

Road Trip!

INSPECTOR SPECTER, the sixth Haunted Guesthouse mystery, will be published on Tuesday December 2. After that we're going on the road! And here's how it'll go:

Monday, December 8: Aunt Agatha's in Ann Arbor, MI
Tuesday, December 9: Murder by the Book in Houston, TX
Wednesday, December 10: The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ
Thursday, December 11 and Friday, December 12: I'm on the road. Literally. Plans are to fly to San Francisco and then make my way via Los Angeles to:
Saturday, December 13: Mysterious Galaxy's holiday party in San Diego, CA.

So, four bookstores in four cities in six days. And if you work for a bookstore between San Francisco and San Diego and would like to discuss an event, get in touch (if you're available on Dec. 11 or 12)!

If you're in one of those areas and would like to say hi, please come on out! Keep in mind that I'm probably coming from a lot farther away than you are! And it's the readers and the booksellers who make these events special. So I'm hoping to see you there. Wherever "there" is.

Thanks to all MISSING HEAD CHALLENGErs!

It's been just about a month (a little less) since the beginning of the MISSING HEAD CHALLENGE and we're so grateful to our readers! Thanks to you, $1000 has been donated to the Autism SPectrum Education Network (ASPEN). We so appreciate the response!

Remember: You post a picture of yourself with a copy of THE QUESTION OF THE MISSING HEAD, somewhere (Facebook, Twitter) we're sure to see it. Your contribution (not monetary) is noted, and $10 is donated in your name to ASPEN. While the Challenge is officially over, you can still post!

Thanks to HSG Agency, Midnight Ink Publishing and Twice Told Tales/Moonstone Bookshop (Flemington, NJ) for matching our donations. We're really very touched and proud.
