Aloooohaaa!

I've reached that point where I'm bone tired. Not just I need a nap or a good night's sleep tired. Bone Tired. Ready to lay on the beach, sip a mai-tai, make my way through my stack of unread books and get re-acquainted with my husband. Don't get me wrong - I love Cheesecake & Crime...passionately. My customers are the world's best customers - lively, knowledgeable, and great conversationalists. They are delighted to have us in town and tell us so frequently - what more may a girl ask?

We've got the house-sitter/pet-sitter is lined up, and the staff is ready to handle the store without us for a few days. Which brings up a great point: I also have the best staff in the world! When you're visiting the crime scene get to know my crew: Joe, Liz, Drew, JR, Denise, Sharon, Kelle & little Heather. Lendall and I may not be there, but I guarantee that anyone of those people above will take outstanding care of you!

We're looking forward to five author signings in March - Ken Kuhlken, Donna Mabry, Steve Grogan, Hannah Dennison, & Bill Moody. Check out our Events Calendar on our website for the details. If you can't make a signing, let us know if you would like us to set aside a signed copy for you. Just call the store, and we'll take care of it.

Left Coast Crime is taking place in Colorado in March, and I'm debating about whether to try and get there....I love those conferences. You get to meet authors, fans and fellow book-lovers. If you ever get the chance, go to one! You'll discover new friends and a whole new reading list to be devoured. There's a list of conferences on our website that we try to participate in - I'd like to be able to go to every one of them out there. But, alas, time and money are the foes of the traveling bookworm in me.

FYI, I've ordered most of the new releases for Hard Cover & Soft Cover for the next couple of months. Please let me know if there's anything you wish me to have in stock for you.

Our next Mystery Book Club meeting is March 3rd at 7:00 p.m. - we'll be discussing "The Interpretation of Murder" by Jed Rubenfeld.

So, we'll be back before you (or we) know it: feeling re-invigorated and ready to tackle the Cheesecake & Crime world again!

Cheers,
Pam
