Recent Events

  • The book signing May 1, 2010 at the Museum of African Art/Smithsonian in Washington, DC was swell - even with my arm in a cast. I met a lot of nice people and even sold a book to a rider on the DC metro.

suzanneI had the honor and privilege of being one of the many authors to participate in Kathy L. Patrick’s Pulpwood Queen’s Girlfriend weekend (http://www.pulpwoodqueen.com). For those of you not familiar with the Kathy or her work, she’s promoted literacy through her book club chapters, not only in the U.S., but in at least five other countries. She’s a vibrant, wonderful lady who happens to love Tarzan and Africa, and this weekend was an exciting, fun, and very unusual weekend - with a chance to meet new readers and authors.

Mr. YumYum promised to be my best friend and help me out at the “Come as a Barbie Fashion Show” event. I came as Safari Barbie and Mr. YumYum graciously let me take not one, but two shots at him with my cap rifle. Yes, I carried a real knife and a toy rifle to this event – but it was in Texas! They know how to deal with it! In the image, you can see that Mr. YumYum and me in Safari Barbi garb were ready for action. Mr. Yum Yum was a great hit, the weekend was wonderful, and my greatest thrill came when N.Y. Times bestselling author Mr. Pat Conroy actually bought my latest book, Treasure of the Golden Cheetah. How cool is that?

Signed Copies

The following are locations that might still have signed copies. I get to "I Love a Mystery" in Mission, KS at least once a month (Sisters in Crime meeting) and can always sign books then. Also check The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ, Murder by the Book in Houston, TX, or other independent bookstores (find independent mystery books stores at Independent Mystery Booksellers Association or other independent booksellers at IndieBound.
