Thank you Jennifer and Mark at Blackstone's of Beacon Hill. What a crowd you amassed for John's and my book signing last night. So much fun and a sell-out to boot! You are the best.
SDC with Orb. The 2013 Kentucky Derby winner.
What a blast speaking on the Red Dawn author's panel. And what a fun group of writers. I especially want to thank you Leslie Wheeler for her excellent job moderating the panel. A moderator's job is not an easy one and she made it look effortless. I so enjoyed meeting the other authors. We who toil away in our writing lives have so little opportunity to meet other fellow mystery/crime writers in such an intimate setting. It was an absolute joy for me to meet such kind and generous people.
SDC with the Otto Penzler, publisher of Mysterious Press and owner of Mysterious Bookshop (which is where we are here). Otto is a legend in the mystery writing field!

Love the Adirondacks!! Foliage is stunning
Voted and took off to get away from the craziness of the election which was making me cuckoo! Paris soothes the soul! Doing research on my next novel. It’s a tough life but someone has to do it! Taking a seminar on “The Business of Luxury” going behind the scenes of fashion houses and seeing inner workings.
When not in Paris I dream about Alain Ducasse hot chocolate. How do they make it? A guarded secret. A mystery that I plan to solve.
Oh, to be back in Paris!
One of my favorite guys on the planet, Martin Edwards, just won an Edgar for The Life of Crime. Yipppeeee!Fabulous book. Great new info about my grandfather John Dickson Carr in his amazing Edgar-winning book! Congrats Martin!!!!!
A dinner party at the Palace of Versailles. Thank you Judy and Peter for inviting us. Let them eat cake! I understand they never open the palace at night for private dinners except for dignitaries! I feel very royal! Merci! So special. I feel a wee bit spoiled. So glad to have such wonderful friends.
Too cool for School…! Wait! I’m in school this week in Paris! Learning about the Business of Luxury with CEO’s and Presidents of fashion houses. Going behind the scenes at couture atelier workshops where they cut the leather and sew the handbags. Learning so much.
This is Dr Cynthia Smith. We’re In Mexico to learn about her marine mammal program to save endangered Vaquita porpoises. Only ten left in the world. There’s an international effort aimed at rescuing this species. Dr Cynthia Smith is leading the JANE project. Justice Action Network for the Earth.

Me with my buddies in Mexico 🇲🇽 Flying home for Thanksgiving today
This was the committee for the Robbie Burns night on Spring Island. I gave the traditional toast to the laddies which is meant to be saucy and a wee bit off-color. Needless to say I love a spicy toast. My cuppa Scottish tea 😍 with a wee dram…or two…or three…
