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!
Have a great trip. I wish you were coming to Ann Arbor. I can’t wait to hear your summer news.
