Terrie wrote a wonderful post about our upcoming mystery anthology. She even included a generous mention of me while I was out of contact with the world. Thanks, Terrie!
I also want to heartily thank Laura, Leah, Clare2e, Helen, Dawn, Crabby McSlacker, Travis, Alex and Lois for their cheers of approval.
Come celebrate with us if you can! Our launch party is being held on November 1st at the Partners & Crime book store in Greenwich Village (NYC). We'd sure like to meet you! And bring friends! Nibbles and beverages will be provided freely - along with our free autographs in your new MURDER NEW YORK STYLE books! Nothing smells as rich as a brand new book hot off the presses!
On the personal side, the launch will be full of exceptional meaning for me. My mom wrote children's stories all her life. Her time ran out before her stories made it into print. I know how much this launch would have meant to her. I followed in her footsteps, but I had an an asset she never imagined possible.
My mom died before the Internet Age was born. She missed getting connected to a wide range of remarkable writers like Terrie and the other gals in this blog, groups like the supportive Sisters In Crime, and all you phenomenal pen pals who share our masochistic passion for writing. How lucky I am to have you! How much I have to celebrate!
Thanks to you all for being part of our internet party! Hope you can join us in a real life celebration soon!
Write On!

Congratulations! In this day & time getting a book into print is difficult so I applaud your accomplishment. Too bad you Mom isn't here to bask in the glory of her daughters success but I'm sure she is looking down on you with great pleasure. Good luck
Nan, I'm so pleased for you and Terrie and Anita and Fran (as well as the others!) Your story last month about the aborted publication of your historical novel made me sad, because - although I only know your writing from postings here and on Guppies - you're exceptionally gifted at engaging readers. So I'm particularly happy that you've had a break with the anthology, and I'm confident that I'll enjoy all your published work.
Nan,
Welcome home!!
Your mom is dancing on the clouds and I think I see my dad a cloud or two to the west.
Terrie
I will oh so very much be there in spirit!
I wish I could be there in body,too. It'll be exciting and wonderful and I'm thrilled for you.
I second Katrina. I'm sure your mom is beaming down at you now and always.
Congratulations! My bff has told me about that bookstore before and that's really a great venue for your launch.
Do you have any of your mom's stories, Nan? And if so, have you ever thought of doing anything with them? Maybe you can manifest her dream for her now.
Wish I could make it for the party and if I lived in your neck of the woods I would.
