As Design for Dying’s publication date grows closer, there’s more and more going on. Here’s a quick rundown on the latest.

We made our panel debut as Renee Patrick at last year’s Left Coast Crime, and there’s no way we’d miss this year’s conference. The fun and games are in Phoenix from February 25-28. Once again we’re thrilled to be participating on a panel. “Teamwork: Writing with a Partner” will be on Sunday, February 28 from 11:00 AM to noon. We’ll be there along with Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis, co-authors of the acclaimed Nina Borg novels, and moderator Caroline Todd, who’s one-half of best-selling author Charles Todd. If you’re at LCC, come join us!

Goodreads is giving away not one, not two, not even three, but a whopping FOUR copies of Design for Dying. You have until March 16 to enter.

Can’t wait that long for a look at the book? Then read an excerpt at the Macmillan website.
