Good News for Kristine Grayson Fans
I just sold The Charming Way, a new Kristine Grayson novel, to Sourcebooks.  The best part of the entire deal is that Sourcebooks will reissue two out-of-print titles as well, Utterly Charming and Thoroughly Kissed. (The editor is calling this the Prince Charming trilogy.)  The books won’t be released until 2011, but thought you’d want to know what’s coming. To tide you over, here’s a list of Grayson short stories. A new one will join the list later in the week–as soon as I get my act together and scan the cover! • “ Cosmic Balances, Inc.”

A New Smokey Dalton Short Story
I know, I know. A lot of you folks e-mail me about the next Smokey Dalton book (part of the mystery series I write as Kris Nelscott). There isn’t one scheduled at the moment, but a new Smokey Dalton short story has just appeared in Subterranean Online’s Fall issue. Here’s the link. Enjoy!

Forgetful Me
So what do I forget to mention to all you marvelous readers out there? That “The Case of the Vanishing Boy” is set at a science fiction convention. Silly me. So even you non-mystery folk might like it. And um, don’t forget to buy Diving into the Wreck this month, if indeed, you’re planning to buy it at all. (It’s been getting great reviews. Publisher’s Weekly called it ”…a page-turning space adventureR

The Case of the Vanishing Boy
My latest story has just appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. I think these characters will appear again. And if you follow the link in the story, you’ll find a treat.
