Killer Nasville Here

Tonight Killer Nashville kicks off at the Hutton Hotel in downtown Nashville with a wine tasting followed by a mystery-themed team trivia game, hosted by Mysteries and More Booksellers. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, there will be a wealth of panels, talks and other activities. Tomorrow, I'm going to be part of a panel at 12:30: "Putting the Thrill in Your Fiction: How to Create Fear and Danger on the Page." On Saturday at 10, I'll be talking about the Gothic Novel and what led to its appearance in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Hope to see you there!

He Trots the Air Travels

Fun to read Google and see He Trots the Air advertised in Portugal, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, Denmark, and Italy.

Killer Nashville Almost Here

Killer Nashville will be held in only eight days at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville from August 25 through August 28. It offers five tracks of varying interest and experience levels, so you'll always find an intriguing panel or talk to attend. There will also be the dead body (hee, hee) to investigate and solve the puzzle of its death. And of course there will be much more offered by your delight. The fan track is my niche there. I'll be speaking on Saturday, August 27, from 10:00-11:00. My talk will be on the Gothic Novel in England and America. Come and hear about this type of novel that has lasted to the present day. Did you ever read Twilight or see the film? Jane Eyre? Frankenstein? Come and learn about the history of this strange kind of fiction, which has been said to be the forerunner of the mystery story!

I'll be on panels at KN as well.
