Hi Leila, Way back (2001) when Billie Johnson (OTP)published my first Lake George Mystery, An Affinity For Murder, (Malice Domestic Best First Nominee 2002) she urged me to make a side trip to your store when I attended Malice. I couldn’t manage it, always regretted it and think I wrote my regrets when you closed.
Now after reading my friend Nancy Means Wright’s excellent blog, I’ve gotten up the nerve to ask if I could do one for your site as well. I’m trying to get the word out on my 5th Lake George Mystery, Cold Winter Nights, (some great winter activities at the upstate NY lake, unfortunate pub date, and questionable title choice – my own fault if I want to promote year round sales). My last 4 books are from Hilliard and Harris, now associated with Amazon. You could check me out at http://www.annewhitemysteries.com and see an article I wrote for Mystery Scene. Would you consider me for a blog? I’d love to do one.
Best thoughts,

Dear Anne,
I’d be more than pleased to have you as a guest! The only restriction is that I prefer to avoid politics and religion unless it’s part of a storyline.
My usual Tuesday slots are filled until July but, as you no doubt noticed with Nancy’s piece, we can pick another day. Let me know a couple of dates that would suit you and I’ll check the calendar.
Regards,
Lelia
