Texas Book Festival

I'm pleased to let you know that I'll be at the Texas Book Festival, held in Austin on October 27-29th. I'll have more details for you later on, but hope those of you in the area will save the dates.

This photo, by Billy Arredondo, is of the Alamo in San Antonio. My nephew Sheldon recently wrote to me after a visit to the Alamo, to say that he thinks I ought to write a book about it. One never knows...

In the meantime, a favorite mystery bookstore is in that city, Remember the Alibi. Another fave is Murder by the Book, in Houston — the city where I was born. So if you're in either neighborhood, stop by and say hello. Or howdy -- whichever feels more natural to you.
