Once again it's time to post our invitations to those in the NYC metro area
to come to our signing parties or for anyone to reserve a copy of a book to
be signed by a favorite of yours.  Depending on whether you can join us, T.S.
Eliot may or may not have been a liar in claiming that April is the cruelest
month.
We begin by hosting two charming, intelligent and just drop dead gorgeous
women on Wednesday April 2 at 7 pm -- Sparkle Hayter whose third Robin Hudson
mystery Revenge of the Cootie Girls has just come out and Martha Lawrence
whose second Elizabeth Chase mystery The Cold Heart of Capricorn was a
recommended book in our last newsletter.  (Now I know Martha has already
posted this dynamic duo's appearance but a little positive reenforcement
never hurts).  Plus, we may have a few surprises and special guests that
evening.
Before any charges of sexism can be levelled, we have the following week two
charming, intelligent and handsome men on Wednesday April 9 at 7 pm.  Parnell
Hall will sign the new Stanley Hastings novel Scam and  Robert Greer will
sign his hew CJ Floyd mystery The Devil's Red Nickle.
Thursday.  April 17. 7 PM.  The one. The only. Polly Whitney.  Until the End
Of Time is out in paperback.  Until It Hurts is out in Hardcover.  No
Rollerblades in the shop.
Next -- Troy takes us out to the ballgame and Edgar week activities.
