The First to Die is a story of handling everything thrown at you. The need to find the truth so that you can hopefully find peace, wrapped into a heck of a compelling mystery that I found incredibly hard to put down.

A great Mystery Writers of America, New York chapter, lunch last Saturday organized by Carol Binkowski. Fun conversation about books and writing and the publishing process.

The day was already sweltering, humid air like a wet sheet clinging to Connie, her bangs plastered to her forehead, her shirt dotted with damp patches. Urban smells permeated the neighborhoodβ€”exhaust, heat shimmering off the pavement, cooking odors.

Despite the sun shining in a brilliant blue sky, the area was tinged with gray. Sunny in San Diego and sunny in Hallison, New Jersey were two different animals.

If Connie closed her eyes, her parents magically materialized on the porch swing, creaking steadily back and forth on warm summer nights. Sometimes Uncle Charlie sat on the steps and the three of them drank beer, Charlie telling stories and her father laughing. But that was before.

A wonderful week in Nashville at the Bouchercon convention with old and new friends. Shared a panel with Deborah Ledford, Cathy Tully, Marjorie McCown, and Caryl Janis. Moderated by Teresa Michael. A great group! And I signed copies of my mystery series. Terrific fun! @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social
