I'm Back!!!!

I haven't been on the blog for quite sometime as my summer has been extremely full, what with my grandson's busy baseball schedule and trying to sell one novel and finish another. I did however get a short story published in Mouth Full of Bullets (http://www.mouthfullofbullets.com) and was happily surprised when the editor, B. J. Bourg chose it as the cover story. If you haven't yet stopped by MFOB, you should. It's a quality magazine with a lot of good stories. I won't mention the fact that it's free.

I've also been busy working on the New England Chapter of Mystery Wroter's of America. We're implimenting a number of new changes and its been wild and wooley. Also I'm serving on the planning committee for the annual New England CrimeBake. A writer/reader conference sponsored by the New England Chapters of Myatery Writers of America and Sisters In Crime. It will be held over the Veteran's Day weekend (November 10 through 11) and this year we've changed our venue to the Hilton Hotel in Dedham, MA. The conference features pitch sessions with agents, terrific panalists and this year Lee Child will be our keynote speaker. To show you the quality of our keynotes the list includes such well known writers as Robert B. Parker and Janet Evanovich. I'd really like to see you there. Check it out at our website, http://crimebake.org/index.htm.

Well time to get back to the writing thing... I got a novel to finish.
