Sleuth of Baker Street, Toronto’s mystery bookstore, stayed open late Friday night (November 14) for the launch of Mel Bradshaw’s Victim Impact. Proprietors Marian Misters and J.D. Singh had book tables pushed back to accommodate a crowd that even so risked spilling out onto the street. The author of two historical mysteries, Mel was kept busy all evening signing and reading from his first contemporary crime novel, which he described as “a dark and twisted tale of revenge.” Napoleon & Company publisher Sylvia McConnell introduced the reading, and RendezVous Crime author Rick Blechta was among the numerous attendees.

Going Out with a Bang, an anthology of crime stories by the ladies Killing Circle, was launched in Ottawa in the rotunda of the National Library on Thursday November 20th. It was fun evening for everyone, and the boa wearing authors were well received. It was obvious that readers in the Nation's Capital really love their "Ladies".

Many, many copies of "Going Out with a Bang" were sold and signatures collected, making a fun evening for everyone.
