I’m a happy camper today–a happy bestselling camper. Curse of the Kissing Cousins is #10 on the May paperback bestseller list for the amazing Mystery Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont, PA! I was at the story for their annual Mystery Festival the first Tuesday in May, and had a such a good time. This is just icing on the cake. Many thanks to the fine people of Oakmont!

Thanks, Dave. Hope you’re someplace nifty in the interim.
Huge congratulations, Toni! I’ve always been awed by your creativity (and your spunkiness, of course). Adding a link from my brand new blog.

Thanks, Deb. Julie was just telling us about seeing you in Tennessee, and how busy you’ve been. And chickens! Much more practical than our guinea pigs.
