Wow! We’re suddenly a little more than ninety days from launching the Susan Cushman debut novel, Cherry Bomb. I can’t wait, and I know Susan can’t. She has already been burning up the roads to promote a pair of books released early this year (Tangles & Plaques: A Mother and Daughter Face Alzheimer’s, A Second Blooming: Becoming the Women We Are Meant To Be), so she will be no stranger to Mississippi audiences when she returns in August with her great new work of fiction!
The official launch date is Tuesday, August 8 at Lemuria Books in Jackson, Mississippi. And we’re delighted that Susan will have a role at the Mississippi Books Festival on Saturday, August 19 and will be in our Dogwood Press tent. In case you didn’t have enough reasons to plan on visiting the third annual MBF, you have now one more! Come by and say hello!

John Floyd’s winning streak continues: He just learned that his short story, “Molly’s Plan,” will be translated into Russian and reprinted in January 2018 in the Inostrannaya Literatura in Moscow. “Molly’s Plan” was featured in the 2015 volume of Best American Mystery Stories. Not only that, John will have a story, “Life is Good,” in Passport to Murder, the forthcoming 2017 Bouchercon anthology! He also has stories coming up in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, The Strand Magazine, and Woman’s World.
