SUNDAY JUNE 10 IS "NO CRIME UNPUBLISHED" MYSTERY WRITERS CONFERENCE DAY

As the day draws closer, my excitement grows. I've attended the conference three or four times, but there's always something new to learn about the craft of writing mysteries. Plus, the company's great.

It's not too late to come to the Embassy Suites in Arcadia, CA! Registration is from 8-9:15, and breakfast begins then. Click here Sisters in Crime, LA for the latest update.

I've been in the Embassy Suites (it's very nice) because it's up the street from the Hampton Inn, where my husband and I stay every year for the Santa Anita Derby. They have a 5K race before the track opens, and I participate in the masters division. It's a scenic, easy runs through the Los Angeles Arboretum. The last quarter mile's on the training track. Great for horses, terrible for runners.

June 3, the "LAndmarked for Murder" crew spent 3 1/2 hours in the El Segundo Public Library for a book fair organized by the Friends of the Library. The person with the most business, however, was the animal-balloon man. Parents brought their kids in for a free balloon, and the most fabulous one was a huge Simba, from The Lion King.

Afterwards, my husband and I traveled to the home of our youngest son and his wife for a visit. He's refinishing their dining table, so they barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs, and we ate at a card table. Afterwards, we walked the Salukis to a nearby Foster Freeze for dessert.

We live 85 miles away, and the freeway wasn't too crowded. We were home before dark...to a warm refrigerator...which is a story in itself.

Hope to see you June 10,
