My parents' place outside Yamhill, OR, and my "office" this week and part of the next. Still (!) working on #WitnessTree, but I've had some happy breakthroughs. The majority of the wildfire smoke is gone, and the grapes are turning. #amwritingmystery
Back in Yamhill! The grapes are turning and the sun is struggling to get through the wild fire haze. #Yamhill
It's a gorgeous day to stop by the Art at the Market. Starts at 10 am! #philly
Still jazzed about the Montco Book Fest this past weekend. Great crowd, great book conversations.
I'm looking forward to signing books at this year's Montco Book Fest with my fellow Sisters in Crime author Writer Carla Conti. See you Saturday, June 13 in Skippack, PA--and pick up our page-turning Thriller and TrueCrime reads. #BookFestival

I stepped out of the Covered Market here in Oxford and thought for a brief moment that I might find my trusty steed waiting for me. Alas. The first photo is from 2012, the first time we lived here. The second is from today.
This man in a motorized wheelchair waited patiently for the light to change and then politely waved in a bus before carrying on his way. #VeryBritishThings #Oxford
I was hoping to take in a bit more of Oxford today, but I was, er... unavoidably detained. Otherwise, it's great to be back!

I've been watching (and waiting) for this bloom, and yesterday, Mother's Day, it arrived. I planted this rose as a remembrance for my mother. Seems beautifully apt.

Rash decisions and bloody-minded stubbornness had led her step-by-step to this bleak, freezing room... bookshop.org/p/books/bast...
They came to her for help, but she's in way over her head, too. And her allies in the Justice Dept might be part of the problem. #FaithlessElector bit.ly/3DyRMpx
