I drove up to Medina yesterday, a bedroom community of Cleveland, for the wonderful Writers Live luncheon sponsored by the Friends of Medina Library and Medina Library. Michael Koryta and I were the guest authors—and we had a sold-out crowd of 220 people. Good food, great people, much fun.
The trip takes about 3 ½ hours, […]

*Malice was great. Met lots of new people, caught up with old friends, and remembered why I love the conference so much. Was able to get Diana’s Corpse Pose and Lorna Barrett’s Murder is Binding, but couldn’t find Sarah Atwell’s (hi Sheila!) Through a Glass, Deadly, so need to order it ASAP. I did share […]

Spring is in full swing. The trees have flowered, the daffodils have come and gone, the hyacinth’s blooms are fading. Buds are emerging on the shrubs, the grass is greening…and I’m in no mood to garden.
My yard is, well, let’s use a Sharon Short term: Unfortunate. Last year’s drought really took its toll on the […]

* Winner from last week’s blog: Though all your DIY projects were majorly impressive, I had to choose Marianne, because I’m also sewing challenged. The needle? The mustard? A complete hot dog costume? Wow. Send your snail mail address to me at heather@heatherwebber.com, Marianne, and I’ll get your goodies out to you. (And it had […]

By the time this blog is posted, it’ll be Day 2 of the Deady Diva spring book tour. Which means that I’m away from home (and my Internet access) right now and probably having fun but missing my family. I always do when I’m away.
I’ve been busy this week pulling stuff together for my upcoming […]

It’s hard to believe that spring break is almost over. Where does the time go? Oh, right. To sleeping late, cleaning my office, tackling the clutter in the attic…but mostly resting and relaxing.
And I needed it. To prepare. Mentally at least.
April begins a month of travel for me. April 3-6, I’ll be on the road […]

There are very few things in my life I regret. Life is what it is, things happen for a reason (good and bad), and learning from those instances has made me who I am.
But if I could go back…
I wish, wish, wish I’d kept journals, diaries, scraps of paper, anything that would be a reminder […]

Last night I was the guest speaker at a local college class. The class, Cincinnati Authors, was required to read Trouble in Bloom so they’d be able to discuss it with me.
No problem, right?
Well, the class did their part. And though some confessed to not being avid readers, they read the book. No one had […]

Before I forget, the page is up for the MS walkathon I told you about last week. To join the walk or to sponsor Team MSketeers (of which I’m a proud member), go here.
Now back to my regularly scheduled blog:
As a write this, it’s Tuesday morning, and I’m foggy and groggy and not happy.
A […]

* As some of you may know, my good friend and mystery author Laura Bradford was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Though she battles the disease every day, she’s taking her fight to the street. Literally. Laura is organizing a group of authors and readers to take part in a MS walk in St. Louis […]
