Off to Phoenix for Left Coast Crime! I’ll be on a panel tomorrow at 130pm, talking about writing on classified subjects with some other great authors and a veteran intelligence officer. I’m hosting a table at the banquet Saturday, too. Sign up to join me at registration and drop me a note if you’ll be in town.
