Dear Friends, this coming weekend—September 29 through October 1—is Archon St. Louis, a splendid pop culture con just a hop, skip, and jump away from my neck of the prairie. I was Guest of Honor in 2022 (such a thrill!), and I’m excited to once more participate in the wonderful panels and cosplay, meet fellow writers and fans, and soak up the fantastic atmosphere.
Scotland has made several notable contributions to the world of sports, including golf, curling, and the high jump. In our continuing series on All Things Scottish, preparing for next month’s release of Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries Book 5, Myrtle, Means, and Opportunity, we’re taking a look back at one particular aspect of Scotland’s sporting history—the Highland Games!
We are just a few weeks away from Myrtle’s big Scottish adventure! Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries Book 5, Myrtle, Means, and Opportunity comes out on October 24. Today we’re getting in the spirit with a collection of images of young Scots from the era. Enjoy!
