Longmont Theater Fundraiser
On Friday the
24th, (Cripes-- it's the 14th of course) Mario and I will be at the Boulder Barnes & Noble taking part in a fundraiser for the
Longmont Theater Company. From the theater website:
Book Fair Fund Raiser - December 14 - 19, 2012
Help support live theater, by shopping for books! (And games, and CDs, and DVDs, and cheesecake, and Nooks, and...)
In Store, Dec 14: Join us at the Barnes &. Noble bookstore in Boulder (or ANYWHERE in the U.S.) on December 14, 2012.
At the Boulder story, while you shop, you can enjoy caroling from our singing group, SRO, story reading, writing letters to Santa, and appearances by many local and national authors.
When you check out, use code 10866499, and Longmont Theatre will earn a share of the proceeds.
On line, Dec 15 - 19: You can also shop on-line, at barnesandnoble.com, December 15 through 19, 2012, and use the "Book Fair" code 10866499 when you check-out.
You'll find the Boulder B&N at 2999 Pearl Street

And you'll find Mario and I there between about noon and 4 PM. Check out the

This is actually the first time I'm signing in Boulder. Hope to see some of you there.

In other bookstore news, Mystery Writers of America announced the winners of the 2013 Raven Awards, which recognizes "outstanding achievement in the mystery field outside the realm of creative writing." There are two this year, the
Mysterious Galaxy Bookstores in San Diego and Redondo Beach, Calif., and Oline Cogdill, who has been a journalist for more than 25 years and is the mystery columnist for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Now most of you know, Mysterious Galaxy is one of my favorite bookstores. They have always been supportive of the writing community and hosted me in signings from the release of the very first Anna Strong Chronicle. I'm happy to see them recognized.
Other MWA Edgar nominees can be found

I posted this on my Facebook page this week, but I think it's worth reposting. From the Denver Post:
ZAROZJE, Serbia—Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.
Or so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests. They say rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear—and a potential tourist opportunity—through the remote village.

Seems the locals think if the Romanians can profit from Dracula, why shouldn't they?
Why indeed!!! It's what I've been trying to do since 2004!
