January Meeting of Sisters in Crime/Chesapeake

Saturday I drove up to the Washington, D.C. area to attend the January meeting of Sisters in Crime/Chesapeake. The featured speakers were Washington Post reporters Sari Horwitz and Scott Higham.  The reporters offered an in-depth reconstruction of the Chandra Levy case.  Levy, as you may remember, was the Washington, D.C. intern who vanished in 2001.   Her remains were discovered a year later in Washington, D.C’s Rock Creek Park.  Horwitz’s and Higham’s account of the case was fascinating and well worth the drive.  If you’d like to read their twelve part series on the case, the link is: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/specials/chandra/.

MB Signs in Richmond, Norfolk and Charlottesville, VA

As the holiday nears, I did a quick book signing tour in Virginia.  This past Friday had me in Richmond at the Books-A-Million on Midlothian Turnpike.  Saturday brought a quick trip to Norfolk to the Barnes & Noble at the MacArthur Center and Sunday was spent signing at the Charlottesville Barnes & Noble.  I put over 400 miles on the Toyota but it was well worth it to see bookstores packed with holiday buyers.   Hurray for books!  And a Huge Thanks to the booksellers who coordinated my signings:  Jennifer at Books-a-Million, John at Barnes and Noble/Norfolk and Sandi at Barnes & Noble/Charlottesville.  You are the best!
