Interviews by three RendezVous Crime authors, R.J. Harlick, Barbara Fradkin and Mary Jane Maffini, have been featured on Janet Randolf's popular Mystery Readers blog. They are part of a series of interviews conducted by American mystery author David Cole on Cool Canadian Crime. Please click on the author to see the interview - R.J. Harlick, Barbara Fradkin, Mary Jane Maffini.

Over the weekend (July 17-19) Rendez-Vous Crime authors Mary Jane Maffini and Mel Bradshaw were featured at the Books by the Bay festival in Callander-North Bay, Ontario. Intermittent rain forced the relocation of events that were to have taken place on the shores of Lake Nipissing. Spirits were not dampened, however. Local artists used coloured sails and balloons to create a beach atmosphere in the Callander Community Centre, where Mary Jane and Mel read and talked to an appreciative audience Saturday afternoon. Gulliver's Quality Books & Toys ensured there were enough books for the crime writers to sign, and more than forty volunteers made the event run smoothly.

Vicki Delany will be guest blogging all week at On Wings of Murder, talking about the life of a mystery writer.
