Write of Spring at Once Upon a Crime

A great independent mystery bookstore celebrates its 25th year with the tenth annual local author celebration, Write of Spring - and a new anthology of short fiction, Writes of Spring.

  1. The anthology has been in the works for a while, and here are early reports . . .
  2. Some pre-event tweets  . . .
  3. Do you know about the #WriteofSpring? This Sat. Minneapolis. Once Upon A Crime. Lots of authors. Including me...
  4. Join me at noon Saturday at Once Upon A Crime Mystery Bookstore in Mpls for Writes of Spring. #in twincities.com/ci_20283618/cr… startribune.com/entertainment/…
  5. Massive book signing tomorrow at once upon a crime, Minneapolis. Writes of Spring anthology. Writers. Lemonade. Pens. Books.
  6. Then on the day . . . (I obviously need an editor)
  7. Write of Spring today 12-4pm at Once Upon a Crime in MPLS - how many authors and reader will fit into a bookstore? you'd be amazed. +
  8. + plus launch of a 25th anniversary anthology Writes of Spring. And if that's not enough ... LEMONADE.
  9. (er ... "readers" with an s - wish Twitter had an edit button.)
  10. And finally, some photos that I failed to upload at the event:

  11. Gary Shulze signs a copy of Writes of Spring. His T-shirt reads "one more book won't hurt."
  12. In between hauling books, refreshing refreshments, and making sure everything is humming along, Pat Frovarp signs a book for a fan. It's not my fault she's a little blurry, she never stops moving.
  13. Carl Brookins was there with a real camera. Held by an actual photographer.

  14. Libby Hellmann showed her new book, the second in a "Revolution Trilogy" that started in Chicago with Set the Night on Fire and will next go to Cuba.
  15. Shoppers pored over the hand-curated book stock. Note the classic Sisters in Crime map over the door.
