This month I went on the air with iHeartRADIO’s Pat Rullo. We chatted about my books, the Killer Nashville conference, and a couple of surprises, i.e., I started a publishing company, and I’m teaching mystery-writing classes! If you want to know more, click this link to my Speak Up Talk Radio page and scroll down to listen to the interview. You'll also find “21 Things You Should Know” about me, like my personal warning label and the title of my unwritten autobiography.

Besides the radio, stay tuned to my blog and Reader Group emails. Why? Two great reasons:

First, A Poison Manicure and Peach Liqueur, a Christmas-themed mystery in my Danger Cove Hair Salon series, comes out November 28, and I’m going to do a BIG giveaway. I haven’t selected the grand prize, so if you have a wish list, please send it to me (and Santa, of course).

And second, I’ve written a novella about Franki Amato in Rome—and it’s FREE ONLY TO MY READER GROUP EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS! I named it “Fragolino Fuchsia” after a wild strawberry liqueur I had in The Eternal City, but that’s not the only part of the story that’s true to my life. As soon as I get the cover from the designer, I’ll publish it as an ebook and notify you. Then you can read Fragolino and try to figure out which of Franki’s Roman adventures actually happened to me.
