Does this look like the face of a dog who just stole and ate a dozen decorated chalk outline sugar cookies that I had made for the Crime for Christmas book fair? Does it?

Nice! Kichesippi Brewery liked our ReBound Press gift baskets so much that we're going to put some together for their new Sparks Street location (with beer, beer stein, nuts etc and Chris Forrest's THE WRECKING GAME because so many scenes in that book take place in pubs!). Fun!!!!

How lovely! I sent out my first ReBound Press newsletter and I assumed the email responses I'd get would be from people wanting their name removed from the mailing list. I did get a couple of those, but I also got this. So nice!

Just placed an order for my new business cards and signs! And yes, "For Sale" signs will actually have an "updated" photo, which is almost unheard of, ammaright? One April 1, I posted that our governing body was going to require us all to update our photos on our signage and people freaked out!

Don't forget, everyone, the new Ottawa-based Jamie Wallace/Charlie Pike series is now available on Kobo as e-books (which means no shipping fees!). So is Chris Forrest's THE WRECKING GAME, a beautifully-written crime fiction noir novel set in Toronto!
