Just a quick reminder that our author Dennis Palumbo is not just signing books
at Vromans this Sunday in Pasadena at 4:00, but he's also teaching a workshop
on Mystery Writing. Here's the description:
For those interested in writing whodunits, plotting is often the most daunting
aspect of the narrative. Fear no more. This workshop will take the mystery out
of writing mysteries. Moreover, you'll learn that the key to writing a good
mystery or crime story is an understanding of how each of the characters'
distinct wants and needs collide with those of the other characters. When done
right, a good plot reveals character, and good characters make the plot
compelling. Whether you're writing the coziest of British-style mystery or the
edgiest of hard-boiled thriller, this informative, entertaining workshop is for
you.

Well, we have a really big announcement to make. Are you ready? Are you sure?
OK, here goes:

Finally, for the first time ever, DROODLES (http://www.cafepress.com/droodles)
are available on merchandise like T-shirts, hats, mugs, pet products, even
underwear yes, underwear. So now, you (or your pet) can walk around wearing an
original Droodle and have people stare at you and then laugh out loud. If they
don t laugh, it s a good sign that you probably don t want to talk to or
befriend them. Ya, that s it use Droodles stuff as a barometer of coolness and
friendship!

Here are just a few of the Droodles we ve started with:

No, this isn t a full issue (one will be coming soon). Instead this is an
update issue to let you all know about our new book, Where Did All the Fat Go?
The WOW! Prescription to Reach Your Ideal Weight and Stay There (http://
smallfellow.com/), by Doctor Rob Huizenga. He s the doctor behind the hit NBC
TV series The Biggest Loser.

[239147_FinalFatBoo] (http://smallfellow.com/TF_fat.htm)

It s a really interesting book based on new scientific research he s gathered
over the many seasons of the series. And it s loaded with interesting facts and
charts and graphs and photos and even comparisons to the progress of some of
the contestants.

be on last time, but it will happen tomorrow.

Guests will be book contributors Chris Brancato (The X-Files, Boomtown), Dennis
