A Slow Down Period by Dru Ann Love
I don’t have much to ramble about this time.
Last time I posted in April, I was attending Malice Domestic Convention where our short story, “Ticket To Ride” I co-wrote with Kristopher Zgorski was a finalist. We won the Agatha for Best Short Story.
The accolades continue with our story being a finalist for Best Short Story for the Anthony and the Macavity Awards. The winner for the Anthony will be announced at end of August and the winner for the Macavity will be announced in September. Wish us luck!
Below are a few of the books I’ve read that are coming out soon.

I did a guest post at Jungle Red Writers talking about the transition from blogger to author. You can read it HERE.
This week start Bouchercon, the world’s mystery convention in Nashville.
Other than that, it’s been very quiet in my corner of the universe.
What do you do when life is simple?
Dru, how fantastic that your collaborative won an Agatha on the first go-round! I would love to read Ticket to Ride.
When I’m at a slow point or a pause I guess you might say, I read. What a lovely following you have and it’s all because you love books and have been a generous gift to your fellow authors.
I treasure my down time reading. So many books, so little time. Have fun at Bouchercon!
Your “quiet” is someone else’s busy. Congratulations on all the well-deserved accolades. You’ve made the transition from blogger to author like a champion!
Quiet time for me is reading — so your quiet time is heaven.
Congrats again on the success of Kris and your story. Fingers crossed for some more wins!
Also, congrats on how well the knee recovery has been going.
Uhm…is life supposed to be simple? Could have fooled me!
