As many of you know, with my new BAD BOY BEAT, I’m back with Severn House, the great UK indie publisher that brought out my Dulcie Schwartz and Blackie and Care books. (Severn House will also be publishing The Butterfly Trap next March). In the years since I’ve been with Severn, they’ve undergone some changes – including being acquired by Cannongate, which gives the press a broader reach (yay!).

Today at Bouchercon, Severn House is hosting a reception to celebrate its 50 years in existence – and I’m very much looking forward to meeting SH folks, including the editorial director Rachel Slatter, who was my original editor that first time around. And for those who can’t make it, Publishers Weekly ran an informative “PW Closeup” interview with the SH publisher, Joanne Grant. Read it here.
