Here is the cover of the
hardcover version of The Chronicles of Deer Abbey. I love the vivid colors of it. We are going to get a couple of copies to
look at and approve and then the book will go on sale from Amazon in a couple
of weeks. This is very exciting!
We had a lovely Easter. Good friends, good food (too much food, of
course), and a movie. We watched
“Moana,” which was even better than I thought it might be. Then I got out my hats and Ann, Becky, and
Tanya tried them on. I had made an agreement
with Ellen that every time I brought home a new hat, an old one had to depart. My new spring hat was a success on Easter
Sunday, so I had to decide which of my other hats I could part with. Tanya and Becky are coming with us to Magna
cum Murder in Indianapolis
this fall and Tanya wanted to wear a hat in honor of the occasion. So I told her she could have her pick. I have a rather beautiful purple felt hat
with a bunch of curly feathers and ribbon on one side that looked really good
on her, and she chose that. I was a
little sad to see it go, but I know Tanya will take good care of it and will
love it as I have. Then Becky tried on
my “Mardi Gras Parade” hat, a silver lamé number that is towering twirls and a big
medallion, flat on the back and with a little brim in front. Or, if you like, flat on the front and with a
little brim in back, you can wear it either way. It looked amazing
on her, and I have agreed to loan it to her for Magna. I’m not sure which hat (or hats) I’ll bring. The event is a mystery convention and takes
place at the Columbia Club, a historic and very upscale place in the center of
the city with old-fashioned rules such as gentlemen must wear a suit or blazer
and tie in the formal dining room. The
sort of place you almost expect to see Christie, Sayers, Marsh and Allingham at
a table having tea and talking about poisons.
Ann fell in love with a strange hand-crafted hat in autumn colored
fabric I might loan to her some time, but not to Magna, as she’s too insecure
to travel.
