- About Me:
- I write the Bridget O'Hern amateur detective series (Death Stalks the Khmer and Death Comes Too Soon), have several other protagonists that have been out in short story form, including Gus Maloney, an alkie ex-cop and drifter, who's the unofficial mayor of Mudflat Manor, a homeless camp in Tacoma, WA. I like traditional mysteries, police procedurals, but am feeling weary of some of the thrillers and look-alike popular crime fiction now about.
Besides my mystery novels featuring amateur sleuth Bridget O'Hern, who operates out of St. Mary's Corner in Western Washington, I have a Golden Age sleuth novel in the works. In Murder Visits Antigua, Aunt Amelia (Winthrope) visits her attorney nephew Winston on the Caribbean island of Antigua. He's trying to find out if the overseer of the Dunhill Plantation is siphoning off funds. When the estate's foreman is murdered, it's "Agatha Christie bar-the-door time." Some of my stories also have appeared in anthologies that include the EX-Factor, Justified Ends for Bad Exes, Murder by Six, and the Crime and Suspense Anthology, Year I. - I Am A:

We got together later with the travel agent who pulled together the trip and pitched the idea of a mystery cruise. I came up with the title: Murder On the High Seas: A Cruise To Die For.
I heard today that the travel agent can pull it together by next fall. 7 days sailing the Mexican Riviera, leaving from Los Angeles, Carnival Splendour seems the probable choice, rates are approx. $350 inside cabin, $550 balcony.
You can see what we're talking about at

I'm suppose to get together with my cohorts in crime and come up with panels and programs so we know how many meeting rooms to reserve. Any ideas?
Is this too soon for anyone to plan? There wouldn't be any extra fees for the conference but we're going to try to negotiate with the ship to sell books. And there wouldn't be any silly rule about who's an author. In fact, I'd love to see small press publishers show up and show their wares!
