We had a good convention in OK City. For both of us I think. Daytime activities are working hours for me; the partying in the evening belongs to Denny and I think Soonercon satisfied both of us. I had interesting panels and my books sold well. Hopefully Yard Dog also sold a goodly number of Leopard’s Daughter and Checking on Culture. I know I signed copies of each. They didn’t have many parties in the evening but those few were the kind Denny likes and what he always hopes for at a con, where we had a chance to meet and talk with interesting, intelligent people. We settled in one room and were there for nearly three hours.

Jamie Hill's FAMILY SECRETS now available from Accomplice Press!
As if stumbling over a dead body isn't enough, Crystal Cartwright finds herself playing surrogate mother to two small boys when their father–her neighbor–doesn't come home. The kids aren't much trouble, but the thieves, drug dealers and kidnappers they're about to encounter are.
Detective Jack Dunlevy, a cop down on his luck, draws the cases no one else wants. A simple investigation involving a dead homeless man quickly changes as Crystal enlists Jack's help with the children. Drawn into a mystery that none of them could have anticipated, they're faced with a situation that will change their lives forever.
Linda Madl, Barbara Baldwin, Lee Killough and Sheri L. McGathy will be presenting the program:
