Back from the US
I returned home yesterday from a long trip to the US -
and Canada, where I attended the Toronto
Bouchercon.
The culmination of the trip
was Homecoming weekend at my alma mater, Illinois State University, where I was
honoured as the year's Distinguished Alum of Milner Library. This included a
luncheon, a Murder Mystery Dinner (at which I found myself on stage, competing
in a singing competition against Hercule Poirot, emceed by Nancy Drew!), and a
nail-biting football game. I also gave a public reading of my short story
'Through a Glass, Darkly' (published in Murder Most Catholic, edited by Ralph
McInerny, Cumberland House, 2002, ISBN 1-58182-260-X), and finished with a sneak
preview of the opening pages of 'Evil Intent', which will be published in
February 2005 by Allison & Busby.
