My New CDs

Did I mention I've got two CDs out? Yup! One is Body Parts and the other is The Dead Stone. Each is unabridged and read by a very cool gal. Here are the covers.

Next week, Bill and I have a busy one. We're speaking at the Boxoborough, Mass., library, which is near Harvard and Acton and Concord, where we lived in Mass. Should be a blast. We'll also be speaking in Northfield, Mass., on the 27th. Another cool venue. You can find info for all of my speaking engagements here.

We're off to Ellsworth (ME) and Tuftonboro (NH) in a couple of weeks. More speaking engagements and two great places. Can't wait!

The NH Wool Festival is in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to that, too. Any of my four (yes, four!) blog readers going to the festival?

Have a swell weekend,

Here Comes the Sun!

After endless days of grey skies, pounding rains, snow, more rain, floods, building an ark, the sun came out today. Yeah! Just gorgeous, with not a cloud in the sky.

On a completely different note... Here's my new cover for The Bone Man, which will be out in late August/early September. It's the fourth Tally Whyte homicide counselor novel, and takes place in Boston, Martha's Vineyard, and New Mexico. Yup - New Mexico!

Isn't it juicy? I LOVE it! Hope you do, too.

Vonnegut

Vonnegut has died. He was crazy and funny and brilliant and, ultimately, believed in humanity. If you haven't read him, give him a shot. What a legacy!

A poem of Kurt Vonnegut's is particularly apt in these days:

When the last living thing

has died on account of us,

how poetical it would be

if Earth could say,

in a voice floating up

perhaps

from the floor

of the Grand Canyon,

“It is done.”

People did not like it here.

Snow remains on the ground here in Hancock, and I miss the spring. So here's a taste of what's to come in a few weeks.
