Story Accepted for New Anthology!

I'm pleased as a grackle in the Wal-Mart parking lot to announce that a new mystery short story, Cat's Outta the Bag, will be published in the upcoming (mid-March) anthology, BLACK COFFEE---STORIES FROM THE NOIR SIDE OF TOWN (Darkhouse Books).

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Coffee-Andrew-MacRae/dp/0996182896/

It's a dark tale of infidelity, nefarious doings, murder and mayhem set in Texas, right outside Austin. And yes, there's a cat in the story. ;-)

Stay tuned for further news!

Happy trails,

Second Annual Austin Writergrrls Book Festival

Save the date!

Sunday December 2, 2012
4 - 6 pm
Bookwoman, 5501 North Lamar, Austin, Texas

I'm stoked, because I'll be reading *something* at the Second Annual Austin Writergrrls Book Festival.

I haven't decided what, yet. Maybe it would be a good time to trot out some of my poetry that no one's ever heard or read. Maybe it will be good motivation to get a small chapbook done. Deadlines! I do love me some deadlines!

At any rate, mark your calendars and join me and other members of the Austin Writergrrls at Bookwoman.

Happy trails!

A Word to my Lovely Readers

As an author, I appreciate every single one of my readers. Indie book authors are responsible for all their own marketing, promotion, book production, etc. in addition to the writing. The publishing world has changed since I started writing back in the early '80s. Reader reviews are more important than ever.

So next time you finish a story or book you love, please consider sharing it on Facebook or Twitter or leaving a review on Amazon, Smashwords, B&N or the other retail sites. Authors really appreciate that, and it makes it possible for us to offer the occasional free and lower-priced book. Thank you so much! bobbi c.
