Home for the Homicide Cover Reveal

Looks like it's official, since this showed up on Amazon yesterday. It's the cover for Home for the Homicide, DIY-7, scheduled for release December 3rd.

No, Mischa the kitten (on the floor with the Christmas lights) still doesn't look like a Russian Blue. And Inky (on the table) is more gray than black, while Jemmy (the tiger striped Maine Coon) isn't on the cover at all this time. Nor do I have a creepy shadow, it seems.

However, all that aside, it's a beautiful cover as usual. The book is available for preorder at the moment, for $7.19 (a little off the cover price of $7.99) - on Amazon.

Little Me - in Mystery Scene Magazine!

That - to the right - is the holiday issue of Mystery Scene Magazine, in stores now.

You can read more about it HERE.

However, if you'd like to pick up a copy on your wanderings, at Barnes & Noble or your local independent bookstore, for instance, you can find an article by and about moi on page 51, right under the big picture of the cat.

The article deals with the background for "Fatal Fixer-Upper" and where I came up with the great story about Marie Antoinette's cats and Samuel Clough and the Sally - which I take no credit for - and you'll probably like it.

There's also a wonderful article about Donna Andrews - that's her on the cover - author of the Meg Langslow mysteries, the first of which - "Murder, with Peacocks" - won every major award there is. I love Donna Andrews and Meg Langslow, and I'm sure you will, too. In addition, there are other wonderful stores and reviews, including one for my friend JT Ellison's latest thriller, "14".

So now you know!
