This one also has an extra two pages added on the New Mstery Festival in Ownesboro Kentucky taking place in June. Ruth and I will be there, as will Ruth's Bouchercon Co-Chair Judy Bobolik.

The girls will also be in Baltimore next week Tuesday through Thursday setting up some Bouchercon stuff. If you're in the area and are interested in being a volunteer drop us a line.

And if you get a chance check out the latest Mystery Scene, great stuff including Ian Rankin on the cover. The latest Mystery News has all the usual great stuff, plus a nice piece on our January cover boy Sean Chercover. Deadly Pleasures has a real nice piece on British mysteries. And if that's not enough, the latest Mystery Readers Journal has articles by some of our regulars, including Reed Farrel Coleman and Ayo.
