This past Saturday I had the pleasure of listening to Nancy Pickard at our monthly first-Saturday meeting of the Border Crimes chapter of Sisters in Crime at the Mysteryscape bookstore. Nancy, whose most recent book is The Scent of Rain and Lightning, introduced Jenny Milchman to the Border Crimes members.
Jenny, who released her debut novel Cover of Snow this past January and is now on a 7-month bookstore tour with her family, told us about her friendship with Nancy, her publishing journey, and together they recounted the differences between Nancy’s start as a published author and Jenny’s. It was a rewarding meeting and I was pleased to meet Jenny in person after making her acquaintance online.

Haven’t been to too many bookstore book signings. You make me want to go.

Glad to hear it, Jacqui. (and sorry for the delay in replying — birthdays & recitals) I’ve enjoyed seeing friends hold book signings and its a kick having books signed by people I know.
