Also, Lynn and Ellen Birkett Morris gave a delightful talk at Jo-Beth’s bookstore. Lynn and Ellen were superb, talking about their writing process, and reading from their latest novels. Well done! Susan and Elaine drove down to show support, along with Miss Whitney Vale (Susan’s sister).

Mystery With a Splash of Bourbon
The Kentucky Derby Museum recently ordered 36 copies of our anthology to stock in their gift shop. And they just told us that, instead of doing consignment, which we have been doing the past 6 months, they will now buy outright! Great news, and much easier to keep track of. We hope we get more orders from them as the Derby approaches. Fingers crossed!
Also, in January, Susan and Elaine dropped off copies of the anthology to Keeneland and the Kentucky Horse Park. Sadly, Keeneland said no. We haven’t heard back from Kentucky Horse Park. NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED!
Leanne’s short story, Playing Possum, was accepted by Mystery and Horror, INC for an anthology to come out later this year!
The latest episode of Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater has been released, and our resident actress, Patience Martin, is a featured player.
