Who's That Hiding Behind the Foster Grants?


Is it Iphegenia in Brooklyn? No! It's Grapeshot in Florida at the Sleuthfest Mystery Conference. What a fun way to spend a few days with mystery and mayhem and seafood dinners and good company.
Lee Child is always a great guest of honor, accessible and fun and what a raconteur! He dispenses good writing advice as well. The writing team of PJ Parrish gave a great seminar, and the editors and agents were awesome, friendly, too.
Mystery writers are such wholesome types because they kill on paper and hence have fewer
"issues."
Onward. Lots of writing to do. I always come home "all fired up." Then there's the laundry, shopping, mail, etc. to deal with, but before the mood leaves, must write!
Today is cat blog day. Of course we've had to dispense extra affection after being away almost a week. Thisbe and Annie have settled down to the business of being spoiled companions of the feline persuasion again. Catnip has been offered generously, the old "smoking the peace pipe" routine.
Off to write.
