Here’s my blog post over at Writing Wranglers & Warriors in anticipation of my signing copies of FINN at the LA Times Festival of Books. It’s my favorite time of year and I couldn’t think of a better place to work all weekend!

What a fun weekend despite the rain on Saturday (and Basil computer breakdowns but that’s a different story entirely). It didn’t deter the book-loving crowds though! I had a blast hanging out with signing mates Lida Sideris, Tammy Kaehler, James Ziskin, and Nancy Cole Silverman at the Sisters in Crime booth. It was great to re-connect with old friends and meet new mystery lovers.

Yay! My favorite time of year is here…the LA Times Festival of Books. And what makes it even better is that I’ll be signing tomorrow, Saturday, April 9 at the Sisters in Crime booth from 1-2pm.  That’s booth #367.  I’ll have copies of Betty Fedora, Issue #2 and Ladies Night on hand.

And yes, it might rain. Wah wah. But no worries, Sisters in Crime has hoodies for sale. 🙂 I’ll be giving away Cleaning Up Finn swag so be sure to stop on by!
