Laura, Life Sentences and Syd


Hi,
Laura Lippman will be lecturing and signing Life Sentences at the Pratt Library 400 Cathedral Street in Baltimore March 10 at 7pm. Hope to see you there. If you want a signed copy email me at
mysterylovescompany at gmail dot com

One of the oldest and dearest friends of Mystery Loves Company died this week, Syd Goldfield. Syd was also loved by Laura Lippman who wrote about him on her blog.http://www.journalscape.com/LauraLippman/2009-03-06-06:43/
****
The beginning of which goes:


It may come as a surprise to the people who read this careless little blog that it takes some planning to file every day, something I do only when I have a new book coming out. I can't remember what I intended to write for today, however. Whatever plan I had, it was out the window when I received some bad news: Syd Goldfield died yesterday. Hardcore regulars here know his wife June from the comments section and I think Syd even slipped in here once or twice. I met Syd soon after I began publishing and he mentioned that he had a admirable goal: He wanted to read 10,000 books in his lifetime. Eventually, I decided to write about his quest... Mrs. Goldfield said to him the other night: "I hope you hit 10,000 and beyond." He's not taking anything for granted, but he knows if he hits 10,000, the next day he'll pick up 10,001. "Maybe it sounds kind of egotistical," he says, "but I'm doing this for myself. I just like to read."
******
June, I hope to see you at Laura's signing at the Pratt Library. You and Syd missed very few of Laura's signings. If I don't see you, I'll send you a note. We really will miss him. I wish they could, like another person mentioned in Laura's blog, clone Syd. Perhaps the book business would be booming. If only there could be more Syds.
Best,
Kathy

BICENTENNIAL POE


Dear readers,

You may have heard that January 19 is a very special day. Wedged in by inauguration festivities is an anniversary near and dear to our hearts, the Bicentennial celebration of the birth of Edgar Allen Poe, the originator of the detective story.
A special stamp will be issued and there will be events scheduled in the five places which have a claim to EAP, Baltimore, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Richmond. The Poe Toaster will return once more to Westminster Church in Baltimore with a bottle of cognac and three roses. This scene is at the center of the plot of Laura Lippman's novel In a Strange City.
You can also celebrate by ordering our exquisite EAP earrings. Go to http://www.mysterylovescompany.com/, click on MLC store and then jewelry.
You can read up on Poe with four wonderful books THE POE SHADOW by Matthew Pearl, THE PALE BLUE EYE by Louis Bayard, THE BEAUTIFUL CIGAR GIRL by Dan Stashower, and THE POE PAPERS by Nancy Zaroulis.
You can find out more about festivities at http://www.nevermore2009.com/
But as we say in Baltimore, other cities may claim him, but we have The Poe house, The Poe Room at the Central Enoch Pratt Free Library, his football team (The Ravens), his mascot ("Poe") and most importantly, we have his body.
Happy Bicentennial,
Kathy
That said, "Go Ravens, and Go Poe."

An end of an era



Dear loyal readers,


As I look out my window today at the Oxford store at 4:15 pm on December 31, 2008 I see a beautiful if extremely breezy Tred Avon riverscape, and a brilliant setting sun. I also realize that at this minute my husband is shutting the door of Mystery Loves Company in Baltimore for the very last time. Author and crime scene specialist John French was in to say goodbye in Baltimore. He reminded us that he was our first customer in August 1991 and was to be one of our last customers today. Louise Titchener came by with a bottle of bubbly and chocolate for tonight's festivities. It is with a very heavy heart and with many fond memories that we leave Baltimore where we have sold books on Fleet Street (as in "Demon Barber of") in Fells Point for 17+ years.
We have held many "launches" of wonderful mystery series (John's, Tim's, Louise's, Jack's, Laura's, Sujata's and George's) to mention a few, unpacked and shelved thousands of books, sold hundreds of copies of our 100 best mysteries and Chesapeake authors, made tea for hundreds of happy fans of visiting authors, and placed hundreds of kibble in bowls for our store cats Nick and Nora. We also think of those who are no longer with us, who worked long and hard hours to help us do all those wonderful things -- Maurice Simmons, Sue Feder, and Paige Rose. I thank Dotty and Sammi and Tom as well. Please remember them fondly. I do.

The time, however had come to leave Baltimore and continue our life on our beautiful Eastern Shore. We hope you will come and see us in 340 year-old Oxford and our fabulous renovated bank building location. The serene surroundings, and great food and lodging will make you linger long after you purchased your books.

Thank you again for supporting our independent bookstore. We hope to see you soon in Oxford or online at http://www.mysterylovescompany.com/
Happy New Year,
Kathy

Delvarva Review


Dear all,

Yesterday we hosted a reading and reception of the Delmarva Review authors and poets.

The photo taken at our Oxford store at 202 S. Morris Street in Oxford MD includes myself and six writers from the Review's inaugural issue, and two Reviewboard members (John Elsberg, editor of Bogg literary magazine, and MalaBurt, managing editor of the Review).
From Left to Right: You, Gary Hanna (Delaware), Sue Ellen Thompson (Oxford),David Foster (Oxford), John Elsberg (Virginia), J. Wesley Clark (Annapolis),Kelley Katharine Malone (Easton), Gail Comorat (Delaware), and Mala Burt(St. Michaels).

We have very few of the initial issue, but there will be more next year. The deadline for submissions and criteria are located at their web site http://www.delmarvareview.com/

Best,

Kathy
