In-person Events

I’m starting to get requests to give in-person presentations to service organizations and non-profit organizations. Groups are returning to in-person meetings after many had deferred meetings or held them through zoom. I enjoy giving these talks, meeting new people and selling some books.

Looking Forward to Mystery Conferences

As I gain more mobility after my knee replacement surgery in August, I’m now making plans to attend a number of mystery conferences. In my last post I mention Bouchercon in San Diego next year. Two others I’ve signed up for are Men of Mystery in November in Long Beach and the Left Coast Crime Conference next March in Tucson. These conferences always provide the joy of mystery writers and readers mingling.

Bouchercon

I’ve enjoyed seeing pictures and posts about this year’s Bouchercon Conference. Next year it is in San Diego, which is a short drive for me, so I plan to attend. Look forward to seeing mystery writing and reading friends again.

Knee Surgery Rebound

I’m making progress with my knee surgery rehab. Started Physical therapy. Now it’s the balancing act of managing pain and gaining more range of motion.

Knee Surgery (continued)

I’m living life primarily on the physical level as I recover from knee replacement surgery. Finding the right balance of pain medication, getting some exercise but not too much, and resting often all play into the equation. I have a post-op appointment with the surgeon this week and will find out about physical therapy and next steps.
