This weekend I’ll be attending the When Words Collide writing conference. This new multi-genre conference takes place at the Best Western, near McMahon Stadium on Calgary. I’ll be reading from Deadly Fall, participating in a panel on pitches and queries and attending numerous interesting-sounding panels and events. $60 at the door buys you a weekend of information, mingling and entertainment. In addition, Thursday evening and Friday noon two local libraries will host readings by the conference’s author guests, including Robert J. Sawyer and Jack Whyte.

I like the description of Deadly Fall in the Concordia University magazine. You can view it online here – flip to page 39 or 41. The novel cover is prominently displayed. Concordia even included Deadly Fall in the title for this roundup of books recently published by alumni.

And here’s the Promoter notice announcing my joint reading in the Crowsnest Pass. http://www.crowsnestpasspromoter.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3161537

A photographer from the Pincher Creek Echo newspaper showed up at my recent presentation at the Pincher Creek, Alberta, library. Here’s the photo and description of the event that appeared in the Echo.  http://www.pinchercreekecho.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3184632

Thursday morning, around 8:10 AM I’ll be interviewed by Charlie Brown on Sun Country Radio AM 1140 Alberta. They were going to tape it tomorrow, but I’ll be out hiking, so the interview will be live. This resulted from the book signing at Tumbleweed in Nanton, where the radio station sales consultant happened to come in for a coffee and gave me her card. There can be spin-offs to book signings.

Deadly Fall returns to the Calgary Herald Fiction Bestsellers List – #8 this week. It’s exciting and surprising and encouraging to see it there again.

In Sunday’s Herald, Deadly Fall is # 8 on the Fiction Bestsellers List.

In Saturday’s Herald, Susan is included in an article about Calgary writers attending the mystery writers’ conference in Victoria. There’s a picture of her too, although it only appears in the print edition and online version for subscribers.
