The View From Monday - July 23, 2012

Happy Penultimate Monday in July. I spent yesterday at Brass City Comic Con. It's a small one day con, but a great deal of fun. I took many photos. It's given me an idea for a series on Comics in Connecticut featuring some of the comic book writers, artists, pencilers, etc. that live in the state.  So look for that soon and a post about Brass City Comic Con sometime this week.

Also this week:

Monday - Interview with Ben H. Winters. His most recent novel is The Last Policeman, a mystery set in pre-apocalyptic New Hampshire. It's the first novel in a trilogy. The Last Policeman was published on July 10, 2012.

Thursday - ParaCozyMysMo with Annette Blair. Annette writes, among other books and series, the Vintage Magic Mysteries. Cloaked in Malice (A Vintage Magic Mystery 5) was published on July 3, 2012.

Friday - ParaCozyMysMo with Nancy Atherton who writes the Aunt Dimity series. Aunt Dimity & the Village Witch (Aunt Dimity 17) was published on April 26, 2012.
