The CBC Mini-documentary THE MESDAMES OF MAYHEM
(Featuring Canadian Women Crime Writers, including Melodie Campbell)

I like when they darken the film...those of us associated with crime like to live in the shadows...

Sunday in Hamilton! Join Us

Crime Club Book Launch! The incriminating photos...

It doesn't get any better than this!  A huge thanks to the BEST emcee, Don Graves!  (How can you lose when you have the former Dean of Arts of Sheridan College as your master of ceremonies?

A big hug to Lynn McPherson, who shared the stage with me, and too many laughs to count.

More hugs to the Burlington Author gals who support me better than my bra, and that's sayin' something.

You aren't supposed to give the author presents!  And yet how can I resist this door mat from my dear former student Aimee and sister Jenny?  Do they know me well or not?

 

Hugs to Joan O'Callaghan, who provided the hit of the day!

 
And finally, thanks to Different Drummer bookstore, and everyone who attended.  I think we broke fire regs today!

About CRIME CLUB

Sixteen year old Penny has moved with her huge dog Ollie to a small town pub owned by her great-aunt.  It’s a relief to start over in a place where no one knows her father is in prison. When Ollie digs up a human bone in the back yard of the pub, police are called. Who can the dead person be?  Penny and her new friends decide to investigate.  And before long they discover one thing: if you’ve killed before, you can kill again.

Most Gifted

This is Cool!  Apparently Crime Club is the most gifted book on Amazon.ca (I had hoped it was clever)

The story of the Pug on the Cover...

I donated a character name to the Burlington Humane Society charity auction (we're big on animal rescue in this family.) The winner asked if it would be possible to do his dog rather than a human. 
So Wolfgang the Pug became a co-star in Crime Club!

Sunny, my wonderful St. John Ambulance therapy dog, would have approved...

TODAY! CRIME CLUB now available on AMAZON, Chapters, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, and all the usual suspects!

Scooby-Do meets the Sopranos!

CRIME CLUB, Orca Books Soundings, 9.95, at all the usual suspects, including AMAZON

Sixteen year old Penny has moved with her huge dog Ollie to a small town pub owned by her great-aunt.  It’s a relief to start over in a place where no one knows her father is in prison

It’s summer, and the only one she knows in town is her nerdy cousin Simon.  Soon she meets Simon’s best friend Brent, his twin sister Tara and their pug Wolfgang.

When Ollie digs up a human bone in the back yard of the pub, police are called.  It turns out the bone is over twenty years old.  Who can the dead person be?  Surely Aunt Stella can’t be involved. 

Penny and her new friends decide to investigate.  And before long they discover one thing: if you’ve killed before, you can kill again.

Now Available online and in stores!  Official launch and media event at Eastgate Mall, Hamilton, on October 4.  More details to come...
