as I sit in my recliner with my feet up and a heating pad on my back watching Texas Tech and Mizzou play while doing my e-mail on the laptop. I made a spectacular crash landing today during kickball in a gym class and was once again reminded that at age 46 and 300 plus pounds I do need to slow down just a bit. But, I digress.
The Edgars have been announced. Well, the nominations have and I have the post saved upstairs on the PC so I will post it here soon. But, at the first reading, I was surprised at how many I hadn't read and even worse had never heard of. Something that I will have to remedy. I did see Reed Farrell Coleman was listed for "Soul Patch" which I thought was a good one. I would suggest reading his books in order and by the way, he has another out in April. And, yes, thanks to the good folks at Bleak House that book is here. I'm thrilled to have it and can't wait to get to it. As well as a bunch of other titles from them as well.
And I still have to finish "The Sex Club" by L. J Sellers for a review that will be an exclusive in the next edition of the Crime and Suspense zine done by Tony Burton.
I also saw where Texan and author Sylvia Dickey Smith finally signed up with PJ Nunn (another Texan) for publicity purposes. PJ and her hubby, whose name escapes me at the moment, are classy folks and good people. Sylvia and her hubby (whose name I also can't think of at the moment) are as well and hopefully we will all be able to hang out together again at HHCC in Dallas in June. Tony Hillerman is slated to be the keynote speaker. Should be a grand time again.
Well, that is about it. We have a Winter Storm Watch here for tomorrow evening through Friday morning. Considering how I went flying when the base slid in gym class today, I am really not looking forward to ice on the sidewalks or the stairs from my second floor apartment.

Yep, I sure did, and excited about it! And my hubby's name is Bill! :-) And we definitely look forward to seeing you and Tony Hillerman at HHCC conference this summer! Earl can come to, if he promises not to behave!
Tipple flew - from my vantage point you looked like an overly competitive adult in a group of specialness. Glad to see you were moving easier today.

Yes, Linda was a witness to my launch into low earth orbit and abrupt re-entry. I am doing a bit better and love my heating pad. Wish I could get your link to work.
PJ will be a great asset, Sylvia. Sorry I blanked on Bill's name. You know me---I'm lousy with names. HHCC should be great!
