GOT A HAT TRICK FOR YOU! We are all set. Come visit me at this year's Printers Row literary festival. I will be on the "CHARACTERS YOU LOVE TO HATE: WRITING THE ANTI-HERO" panel, Saturday morning, June 6, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. at Jones College Prep/Classroom #5010.

I have the great fortune to be joined by Kristi Belcamino, Lynne Raimondo, Shane Gericke, and Lori Rader-Day, who will also moderate the panel. Looks to be very informative and lots of fun! Then I will be at the MYSTERY WRITERS OF AMERICA tent (located on Dearborn near Harrison, in front of Hotel Blake) from 1:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. signing copies of One Man's Castle and SPLATTERLANDS. And then I will be joined by Michele M.E. May and Cynthia Pelayo at 3:00 until 4:00 p.m.at the Mystery Writers tent when we give our "WRITING SERIAL KILLERS" talk. Three things for Saturday at Printers Row -- a busy hat trick day! I would love to see you, so come on by and say hello! Hope to see you there!
