Live events are back, baby! I'll be at Bouchercon 2021: Blood on the Bayou in August, all things willing. I'll be participating in Author Speed Dating Saturday morning, then moderating "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My" (about animals in mysteries) 10:30-11:20 and then serving on the Craft "Backstory: Layering, Not Dumping" panel 4–4:50. Will we be wearing masks? Probably! At any rate, hope to see you in New Orleans.
