Left Coast Crime Family

Left Coast Crime in Sacramento was such a special event in my life that it’s taken me a few weeks to process everything. Despite an injured leg that kept me limping around the hotel (and resulted in a wonderfully fun and memorable lunch at the nearest deli across the street, with Criminal Minds coho

A Valentine For My Parents

My last blog–in September, which seems as immediate as yesterday and as far away as the distant past–was a happy one. I’d traveled to St. Louis and Bouchercon with my mom, and the fact that she was there to see me win the Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery was and will always be the highligh

Miranda’s Back!

North by Northwest

The Curse-Maker is here! THE CURSE-MAKER has been out for a little over a week, (yay!) and now I start the out-of-state leg of my tour … back to my home state, Washington. I admit it: I get a little choked up when I see Mt. Ranier standing over the Seattle-Tacoma-Puget Sound area, majestic and aweso

An Epiphany of Noir

Today marks Epiphany, the day after Twelfth Night, and in the words of the immortal Bard, “If Twitter be the food of writing, tweet on!” January dawns in 2011, and it truly is a brave new world of social networking.

New Year, New Book, New Virtual Home

2010 is nearly over … and it’s been quite a year! The Year of the Tiger is transitioning to the Year of the Rabbit (a good luck year) and my calendar for the next twelve months is already booking up! I’ll have two releases in 2011, a fact which I still haven’t fully taken in. February 1st marks the
