…and you’re up for a night of crime, come to Owl’s Nest Books, at 815a 49 Ave SW, Calgary, for readings by six Alberta writers: PD Workman, Alice Bienia, Lisa Bush, Julie Hiner, L.L. Abbott, and me. I’ll be reading from the first Mendenhall Mystery, The Shoeless Kid. The readings, organized by Crime Writers of Canada and supported by Owl’s Nest Books, are from 7 to 9 p.m. (That’s on Tuesday, Nov. 22.)

Come early and browse, then stay for the readings. I guarantee you’ll find something you’ll want to pick up as a Christmas gift!
