The Edgars in NYC was really great until I got back to my table after presenting the award for best novel (yay, Charlotte Vassell) and discovering my bag had been stolen. Hoorah for the person who turned my locked ancient iPhone in to the NYPD at 4 am. Meanwhile, Marriott security is silent.

Urgent Action. Kentuckians: I am a private citizen begging you for help. Please give me sixty seconds to explain why. The Ky General Assembly has passed a bill that endangers us all by allowing unregulated pollution into our water supply. Luckily, our governor has vetoed SB 89… 1/3

LA-area people: my brother and his fiancé are trying to find homes or fosters for the cats living near their apartment before the building management has them killed. Area rescues are inundated so if you can help, DM me or check the email in her substack: alicelefae.substack.com/p/romeow?fbc...

So it seemed like a super clever idea to take a nonstop flight from Denver and maybe it was but the plane was four hours late and there I was at 4 am in the airport parking lot with a three-hour drive ahead of me and thank goodness for Vermont rest stops where I had a power nap. Home at 10 am.

Last day to save fifty dollars on Left Coast Crime 2026 registration; $299 now, goes up to $349 tomorrow. A great conference - consistently well organized and overall delightful. (Never mind that strange typo below on the header). leftcoastcrime.org/2026/Registr...

If this is Germany in 30s then Left Coast Crime 2024 was the Kit Kat Klub - an absolutely inspiring, outrageous, fierce and funny, warm and welcoming, take-no-crap joyfest. Picture stolen from toastmaster and Lefty winner, @johncopenhaver.bsky.social who made @saraparetsky.bsky.social dance.

Authors: Do not go into a Barnes and Noble and attempt to schedule an author event right then and there. It's busy. We don't have time. The Events Coordinator might not even be there. Please call and ask for the CRM email and wait for the events coordinator to get in touch with you.

Stated watching “Rivals because I love David Tennant and found it tawdry and tacky and soap opera-ish … I’m hooked (and ah, the Laura Hawkins character from “Humans,” who is oh so wonderful).
