Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV
I’m still struggling with my daughter’s laptop…
Alfred thought it would be a good idea if I remind you all about tomorrow’s Masterpiece Mystery! Poirot movie.
Agatha Christie’s Three Act Tragedy will be airing tomorrow (Sunday, June 19) >>> Don’t forget to either watch it or DVR it.
I received a letter from Janet Halpin, who is the Program Ad Coordinator of the New England Crime Bake 2011. She has told me about the 10th annual mystery conference they will be having in Dedham, Massachusetts on November 11, 12, and 13 of this year. (It looks to me like Dedham is almost attached to Boston, but I’m not quite sure…)
The two guests of honor this year are Nancy Pickard and Barry Eisler. BUT… That’s not all! There will be many panelists there, also. Here is just a small list of those who will be attending:
Peter Abrahams (Spencer Quinn)
Donald Bain (aka Jessica Fletcher)
Sheila Connolly (aka Sara Atwell)
What a line-up!!!
So, if you plan to be near the Bedham/Boston area over November 11-13, 2011, you might want to check out their website: crimebake.org…
I wish I could catch on to my daughter’s laptop… Unfortunately, I can’t.
I am out in the D. C. area, and am having a terrible time trying to type responses to your comments. So, I have just posted a bunch of your comments, and will add authors to lists, ETC. when I get back in town. Her laptop keyboard is very touchy, and, frustrating for me to use.
We spent a lovely day in Monticello today, and I am loving the landscape out here. Talk to you soon…
Here are some Fun New Mexico Facts:
