BEA

If the financial gods had been smiling, I might have been in L.A. at BEA in addition to researching to SoCal 1928 novel. Lots of hype in the papers from Jeff Bezos to Dennis Lehane. One of my fellow guppies went to the pitch session and got all kinds of requests for partial and full manuscripts. Our local MWA (Mystery Writer's of America) president, also an editor, is trolling the aisles. Must be fun, all those books and writers and publishers and publicists and agents and...and.

Right now I'm listening to Bare Naked Ladies.

For a writer's blog about BEA you can click over to read Jeri Westerson's account of the literary doings. She has a photo of the MWA booth among others.

No rain yet. Off to a photography exhibit at the Addison Gallery. My old stomping grounds, the Great Plains are featured. And north Texas and around Boston. The old haunts. Lovely. A report later.
