Malice Domestic 26 Mystery Convention news: Sunday, May 5, I'm moderating a panel called PULLING RANK: Different Approaches to Police Procedurals. Frankie Y. Bailey, Vicki Delaney, Kate Flora, and Naomi Hirahara will talk about their very different cops. At a convention devoted to traditional mysteries (once called "cozies"), this should be fun! 10 AM in the Baccarat Room, Bethesda Hyatt Hotel.

Guest blog today (May 1) on Welcome to My World of Dreams blogspot! Inspired by my research for MURDER IS PATHOLOGICAL
THE MYSTERY AND ROMANCE OF ANIMALS http://www.jhthomas.blogspot.com/

On the virtual tour this week I'm sharing MURDER IS PATHOLOGICAL, about murder in a university medical research lab. Monica Bauer is a committed neurology student, her lively friend Maggie Ryan is the lab's statistical consultant, and when the lab's custodian is murdered, Maggie's friend, actor Nick O'Connor, decides to go undercover--against her wishes.
