Trinidad is one of my favorite countries, and Carnival in Trinidad is definitely one of the greatest shows on earth, full of spectacle and color and pure glamor!

What better time to hold a book launch, then, but a few days after Carnival when folks are wondering what to do next?  That's why my Trinidadian launch will be held on Saturday, February 16, at The Reader's Bookshop in Port of Spain.  It's going to be a wonderful way to reconnect with old friends, make new ones and tell them about the Shad Series of mysteries.  Since this new book involves a Trinidadian protagonist, I'm looking forward to their reaction.







See you soon, POS!
