Well, its official - I'm writing four more Izzy books. I am into number four now. I don't have a title yet and can't decide if I should continue to use the "Red" titles. If you have any thoughts, please let me know. In the meantime, I have a few last book events for the Izzy books this month. If you happen to be in any of these areas, I'd love to see you. This weekend I will be in Milwaukee on Thursday and Madison, WI on Saturday. Next week I will be in Indianapolis for Bouchercon, the annual mystery conference. Finally, on October 29th, I'll be in Evanston, Illinois at the amazing boutique Chalk. Please come out for a glass of champagne, some shopping, the books or just to visit. The dates and information for all these events are on my news page. I really appreciate all the comments on the Izzy books (or the others). Keep 'em coming - anything good, bad or in-between is welcome. Write to info@lauracaldwell.com. Take care and thanks for reading!
