On October 19th at 5:30 pm Pacific, Sisters in Crime Canada West is launching our second anthology, Women of a Certain Age—AND YOU’RE ALL INVITED! The indefatigable Charlotte Morganti created a series of book trailers / invitations that I’ll be sharing here in the next couple of weeks. Here’s the first one: https://youtu.be/kWTlkExcYG0

I guess it’s official. They announced it on YouTube and everything. I won the Crime Writers of Canada Award of Excellence for my short story, “Cold Wave.”
Forgive me for bragging a little. The judges called “Cold Wave” a “mini masterpiece,” and said the story had “pitch-perfect pacing” and that “the humour is delightful.”
To say I’m pleased is an understatement.
The best part is that the story was published in Sisters in Crime – Canada West’s inaugural anthology, Crime Wave. And not only that, one of my chapter sisters, Winona Kent, was also nominated for her novella, “Salty Dog Blues.” Now that’s a feather in our cap.
Thank you all for your kind congratulations. It’s much appreciated. I would like to congratulate the winners in the other categories. You will find them all listed in the Crime Writers of Canada news release.

The wonderful Joanna Vander Vlugt, host of the From the Dressing Room podcast, is featuring the authors of the Sisters in Crime Canada West Crime Wave anthology, which includes my own “Cold Wave.” It was my very first podcast and it was a lot of fun to meet the other authors in the anthology: K.L. Abrahamson, J.E. Barnard, Alice Bienia, Debra Henry, Winona Kent, Charlotte Morganti and Merrilee Robson.
Pop in and listen, if you have a moment.
