Rereading My Published Books

I have a reading project. I decided to reread some of my originally published books beginning with the six books in the Paul Jacobson Geezer-lit Mystery Series. So far, I’ve read eight books out of my 23 published books. It was an enjoyable exercise to reacquaint myself with characters from these earlier books.

An Enjoyable Left Coast Crime Conference

Last Wednesday through Sunday I participated in the Left Coast Crime Conference in Denver. On Thursday I pitched to 18 tables of readers about my 3 most recent mystery novels: Murder in the Museo Kircheriano, A Mystery Yarn and The Adventures of Sure Luck Holmes. On Friday I moderated the Meet the New Authors Breakfast, introducing 15 debut mystery authors. On Saturday I was on the Senior Sleuth panel. 

It was great catching up with old friends and making new ones. Here are fellow authors published through Encircle Publications: Curt Wendelboe, Cathy Dilts and B.J. Magnani.

I will be participating in Author Speed Dating today at the Left Coast Crime Conference in Denver. I’ll be teaming with fellow author Tom Farrell for each of us to give two-minute pitches as we move from table to table.

Writing Characters of Different Ages

Many of my mystery novels feature older characters and are affectionately called geezer-lit mysteries. Even in these, I often have grandkids who play a role in the story. My latest book, The Adventures of Sure Luck Holmes, features a fifth-grade amateur detective with many of the Sherlock Holmes tropes.
