HAPPY HOLIDAYS, DEAR READERS!
Despite the bustle of this holiday period, our Mesdames are still working to provide our readers with more reading delights, including Mme Madona Skaff’s book signing in Ottawa and a panel at the Toronto Reference Library.
MESDAMES ON THE MOVE
On Tuesday, December 12, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m, Mme Rosemary McCracken will be the moderator for Crime Writers of Canada’s panel “Killing it with Style” at the Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge St., Toronto. Mme Madeleine Harris-Callway is on the panel along with three debut Canadian crime novelists: Jass Aujla, T. Lawrence Davis and Kris Purdy.
BREWS AND CLUES
CWC authors: Mme M. H. Callway, Gord Jones and Irene Fantopolous will be reading at Brews and Clues at the Stout Irish Pub, 221 Carleton, St. Toronto on Thursday, December 14, 6:30 pm, hosted by Des Ryan.
A WRITER’S UPS AND DOWNS
Mme Lisa de Nikolits shares her high points and this year’s low points in this heartfelt Blog post. Come, take a ride on “The Rollercoaster Year of 2023”.
CONGRATULATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS
Mme Madona Skaff will be doing a book signing of her book Shifting Trust, a science fiction thriller, set in Canada and England. She will be at the Coles Bookstore at Billings Bridge, Ottawa, December 2nd from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, joined by fellow authors, Amy Tector, Vicki Delany and Mike Martin.
Mme Sylvia Warsh is thrilled to announce that her new novel, The Orphan, will be published by Auctus Publishers in the spring of 2024. It is a departure from my other mystery novels in that the protagonist is 15 years old and the setting is Washington DC, 1844. There’s also a speculative element: after being given an experimental drug to save his life, the young man can communicate with animals.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Exciting opportunity: Publisher and author, Judy Penz Sheluk, has just announced her new anthology, Larceny and Last Chances: 20 Stories of Mystery and Suspense, to be published by Superior Shores Press in 2024.
