Book Signing
Big Sleep Books, THE mystery book store in St. Louis, hosts this special book signing to celebrate the publication of SWAN SONG, second book in the McLaren mystery series, and A WELL DRESSED CORPSE, eighth book in the Taylor & Graham series. Drop by chat with me and pick up complimentary series-related items. Also hoping to have copies of "The Swans' Courtship" CD available for purchase. The song was recorded by professional English folk singers Paul and Liz Davenport, so their accents really add to the song's authenticity. The CD makes a super companion piece to the novel SWAN SONG.
