Printer's Row Book Fair Chicago, Illinois

Check out the pictures for the Printer's Row Book Fair yeaterday.  We had an early morning slot and it was cool and comfortable. Annie took pictures of the building across the way and they remind me of the Main East Natatorium mosiacs.

Celebrate with me!

For what was supposed to be a quiet week on my virtual book tour, there's sure been a lot of noisy things going on!
 
First, as I already wrote, was Marlys Marshall Styne's interview with me on Tuesday (read about Marlys here). That was followed by a sneak preview of the Chicago Writers Association newsletter interview by Walter McElligott on Wednesday.
 
Okay, take a deep breath, let it out. Then Terry South posted her interview with me on her ProBoard forum AND on her blog site, Quality Book Reviews. By my count that's three interviews on four sites! But wait, it keeps on coming.
 
Here's my newest book review:
"I must say that I found [PARK RIDGE] to be a refreshing alternative to the cookie-cutter who-dunn-its. The characters are three dimensional, the setting itself plays a significant role throughout the novel and with the added complexity of two opposing love interests, there’s something for everyone… The most surprising aspect has to be the fondness I felt for the murdering pinochle players. Although their acts are despicable, I couldn’t help but find them quite like-able in many ways. For a first time author to create such a conflict of emotion within the reader, is a testament to her abilities. This is a cozy mystery that will undoubtedly make Cheryl Hagedorn a name well known to mystery lovers everywhere. And with another installment in the works - readers will not be forced to wait very long to be reunited with this unique and intriguing cast of characters."
 
This morning RJ McGill's interview with me was posted simultaneously on her website AND on the Blog Writers and Artists Network (I'm the featured author there this next week).
 
Whew! Today I'm just resting. :-)

Flower bed

Here's the flower "bed" in winter. Maybe Annie will take one of it in summer and post it.

Busy week

I'm grateful for the opportunities to talk about my book this week. But, if you'll bear with me, the amount of time involved in looking for people to host me on my virtual tour has been extensive. Then there's all the time spent filling out their questionnaires. And I feel obligated to keep checking in on their blogs just in case someone has an additional question or wants to make a comment -- I want to be able to respond to them.
 
I'd like to thank mystery author Lonnie Cruse for having me on Monday; Mystery Buff for Wednesday's interview; and Donna Jackson for lending me space to hawk my book on a site that is pretty much dedicated to things spiritual.
 
Next week will be pretty quiet until Friday. Terry South of Quality Book Reviews (QBR) will be posting an interview on QBR's blog as well as Terry’s Proboards83 space.
