I am thrilled to be a part of Brenda Novak's Annual Auction for the Cure of Diabetes, 2011.

Up for auction is breakfast wth yours truly at either Thrillerfest in New York July 6-9 or Bouchercon in St. Louis September 15-18.* We'll talk books, publishing, writing, movies - whatever you want.

Bidding opens today - April 30.

It's such a great cause, I hope you'll consider getting involved. And hey, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?

* You don't have to attend the conferences to participate in this auction - only planning to be in New York or St. Louis during that time frame.
