Can you believe it? We’re just a few days away from the Agatha Awards and
the Edgar Awards! Preparations are in full swing here in Myrtle’s world,
with travel plans and bookstore signings and all sorts of shenanigans (maybe*
one* shenanigan). Keep reading for all the details on my East Coast Tour
schedule!
First up, this weekend is *Malice Domestic* and the *Agatha Awards*, where *Myrtle,
Means, and Opportunity* has garnered Myrtle’s FOURTH Agatha nomination! I’m
so very excited to celebrate this honor with my fellow nominees and mystery
community. See us in Bethesda, Maryland from *April 26-28.*
Then it’s off to New York City for the *Edgar Awards* and surrounding
festivities. Yes, *Myrtle, Means, and Opportunity* is an Edgar finalist,
too! This is our third time being honored by *Mystery Writers of America*
and I can’t wait to share Myrtle’s big moment with my team from *Algonquin
Young Readers/Hachette Books*.
You can’t have too many of these…
I’m in NY for just a few brief hours, but they will be JAM-PACKED! In
addition to the posh awards banquet on *May 1*…
On *Wednesday, May 1, at 11:00,* I’ll be joining some fellow Edgar nominees
at *Books of Wonder *in Chelsea. Pop in and see us and get your Myrtles
signed!
But the fun’s not over yet! On *May 18*, I’ll be swinging back to Maryland
for the *Gaithersburg Book Festival*. Myrtle and I have participated in
this event a few times before, but only virtually. Now we’ll be there live
and in person—and what’s more, we’ll be chatting with literary luminary *Margaret
Peterson Haddix*! Margaret and I will have A Lot to talk about (Historical
fiction! Textile history!! Ghosts!!!)—you won’t want to miss it! This
amazing event is free to the public.
All of this is leading up to a Very Important Event in the Myrtleverse this
summer (*hint: boxed set!*), and I will have all the details on that very,
very soon!
