By Lori | Awards, Fangirl | No Comments

By Lori | Fangirl, Three questions series | One Comment

If you don’t know who Jenny Milchman is, then you haven’t been to a bookstore lately. I don’t just mean that her three novels, including the brand-new As Night Falls, are well-stocked in our nation’s book nooks. I mean Jenny herself is there. Known for her round-the-country…

Three Questions with…Susan Froetschel

By Lori | Fangirl, Three questions series | No Comments

I feel like I’ve known Susan Froetschel for so long, I can’t remember where we first actually met. Love Is Murder in Chicago, I think? Last year? Was that only last year? We’re both members of Mystery Writers of America Midwest Chapter, but I know her work…

By Lori | Black Hour, Conferences, Debutante Ball, Fangirl, Writing life | No Comments

I’ve been meaning to spend a little time on my adventures this month. March, they say. In fact, it’s almost April, and yet here we are, with weather that seems rather January in nature. But March: I went to my first Public Library Association conference in Indianapolis,…
