CRAFTS WITH ANASTASIA--KILLER MOP DOLL ROAD TRIP


Author Lois Winston (who writes those books about moi) is about to embark on a road trip with a killer mop doll. If you’re planning to attend Malice Domestic in Bethesda, MD at the end of the week, this is your opportunity to get up close and personal with an actual killer mop doll.

On Friday, April 27th, Lois and the Killer M.D. will be taking part in Malice-Go-Round at 10:00am. Forty-two mystery authors and one killer mop doll will be table-hopping around a ballroom at the Hyatt Regency. Will the mop doll behave herself? You’ll want to be there to find out.

Then on Saturday, April 28th, Lois and the Killer M.D. will be on a panel at 2:30pm. “Elivs and the Commies: Sidekicks Who Provide Comic Relief” will be moderated by Catriona McPherson. Other panelists include Joelle Charbonneau, Deborah Sharp, and Lane Stone. I’m not sure which author will be discussing Elvis, but I certainly know which one will be talking about a certain commie mother-in-law.

At 4:20pm that afternoon, Lois will be signing books at the group signing event. Check out the Malice Domestic schedule for exact locations of all these events.

Not going to Malice? On Monday, April 30th, Lois and the Killer M.D. will be taking part in the 17th annual Festival of Mystery in Oakmont, PA. The event will be held at the Greek Orthodox Church, 12 Washington, St., Oakmont, PA. Doors open at 4:00pm with close to 50 mystery authors taking part. The event is sponsored by 90.5 Essential Public Radio. Proceeds support literacy efforts in the Pittsburgh area.

Lois would love to see you at either or both events. The killer mop doll is keeping mum about her intentions.

Wow - you rock, Killer M.D.! So glad you talked Lois into arming you with the books - nothing more chic to complete an outfit. WIsh I were going to Malice - I hope you're coming to Bouchercon!

Not only will she be at Bouchercon, Sheila, She'll probably wind up as an auction item. I donated a mod doll, along with signed books, for LCC and would have done so for Malice except that something odd is up with the Malice auction this year. No one was ever contacted about making donations. It's a real mystery.

Sounds like some fun events. Wish I didn't live a million miles away. Well, not that far, but it can sure seem like it sometimes! I hope you give us a full report on all the activities and here's hoping the killer mop doll behaves herself!
