THE HUMOR OF JOHN FLOYD

John has a great sense of humor. As his friend, as well as his publisher, I can attest to that. And so can the good folks at Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, who've included his short story, "Dreamland," in their annual humor issue (the just-released May 2015 issue). In addition, the Feb-May issue of The Strand Magazine, includes "Driver," a suspenseful Floyd tale you'll really enjoy.

And gosh, are we excited about this ... John will be in New York City late this month at the annual Edgar Awards ceremony, put on each year by the Mystery Writers of America. His story, "200 Feet," ran in The Strand Magazine last year and has been nominated for an Edgar for Best Short Story.

Grab 'em both ... and enjoy!

Valerie Winn is hard at work on her next novel. We'll give you a firm publication date when it's completely finished, but I can tell you from the chapters I've read that if you enjoyed Forsaking Mimosa, you'll really enjoy this one ... will definitely be worth the wait!

Valerie reading to her nieces not long ago. Before too much longer, she'll be reading from her new novel!

Randy Pierce is also putting the finishing touches on The Peter Bay, which will be released in spring 2016. It's the highly-anticipated sequel to his debut novel, Pain Unforgiven, and Randy will tell you that the launch can't get here fast enough!

Me and my friend Carl Sanders, who was kind enough while visiting at Christmas to stop and get a copy of Director's Cut!

Several author appearances ahead this month: John will sign copies of Fifty Mysteries at Books A Million of Meridian this Saturday, April 11, and two days later (April 13) he'll speak and sign books at the Webster County Library in Eupora, in northeast Mississippi. Also on April 13, Randy will sign at the annual Taster's Luncheon in Winona at the Winona-Montgomery County Library -- come early for a seat! And I look forward to visiting Columbus on April 22 to sign copies of Director's Cut at the Columbus-Lowndes County Library.
