Week One in Germany and Die weiße Krähe (THE WHITE CROW) has gone straight in at #2 on the Spiegel List. That pesky Richard Osmond and his geriatric amateur sleuths have held me at bay. There may have to be a murder before next week's list.

Another brilliant crowd at Ocean Grove. And great to share the stage with Mark Brandi, award winning author of EDEN. This tired little WHITE CROW is flying home. I have a new book to edit.
