Anthony Boucher: A Biobibliography was nominated for an Anthony for best Critical Non-fiction. I'm thrilled for the honor. The book was five years in the making and is the only biography of one of mystery's greatest critics and champions. The awards are held in mid-October.

Bouchercon this year will be heading to Indianapolis with a special trip to the Lilly Library in Bloomington. That's where I did my research for the Boucher biography. It's an awesome library with several incredible collections. Boucher's collection includes all of his known writings plus juvenilia, correspondence and other writings. If you're heading to Bouchercon, I hope you make the time to go there and see the library.

Marketing tip of the month: The TENTH anniversary of MurderMustAdvertise is coming up in just a few months. I'm going to be posting some activities to celebrate a decade of good promotion and marketing ideas for genre fiction.

I've started on a new biography, and that is taking a great deal of my time. So I'm trying to look for new avenues of promotions, including blogs, print advertising, and more.

As always you can find copies of my books via my online bookstore. Please note that my buy local hyperlinks have been changed to Booksense's new URLs.
