“Death on the Lanai” Tour 2026 – Part 1!

I’m excited—and hopeful—that I might get to say hello to some of you at events for Death on the Lanaithe next Golden Girls cozy mystery!

If you’re in Pittsburgh, PA; Indianapolis/Franklin, IN; Cedar Rapids/Marion, IA; Dallas, TX; or Houston, TX (more info below)…. I’d love to see you!

And if you live in these areas or know people who do, please help spread the word by forwarding this email to a friend or bringing a friend to one of the events.

I can’t go everywhere I’d like to in one fell swoop… so if you don’t see your neck of the woods listed here, don’t worry: there will be more to come (and I’m taking suggestions for future visits)!
