   Dearest Correspondent,
  
  Yes! There is life after Valentine's 
  Day!
  
  Just want to let you know a couple of 
  things:
  
  My next appearance:
  
  Friday, March 3 at 6 p.m. at Kate's Mystery Bookshop 
2211 Massachusetts Ave. 
Cambridge, Mass. 02140 
617-491-2660
  
  I'll meet and chat, sign books and even 
  read aloud if the crowd demands it. And I'll bring chocolate as 
  usual. The prior day I'll be with students at Bentley College talking about 
  writing, reading, and staying sane doing both.
  
  The anthology of short stories I mentioned in my 
  newschat last fall is now available. The proceeds from this book will go to 
  the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the Susan B. 
  Komen Foundation. My story, 'I Am Calico Jones', gives a detailed look into 
  the life and heart of the private detective all other private detectives wish 
  they could be. If you buy this anthology you will gain even better karma than 
  you already have. Copy this link into your browser to get the book: http://www.scp-inc.biz/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=576
  
  
  With stories by:
  
  
  Robin Alexander, Lynn Ames, Bridget Bufford, 
  Carrie Carr, Caro Clarke, Stella Duffy, Nann Dunne, Jane Fletcher, Vada 
  Foster, Verda Foster, Jennifer Fulton, Gabrielle Goldsby, Melissa Good, Lois 
  C. Hart, Ellen Hawley, Karin Kallmaker, Lori L. Lake, Lee Lynch, Marianne K. 
  Martin, Val McDermid, Radclyffe, Elizabeth Sims, Jean Stewart, Ida Swearingen, 
  and Jane Vollbrecht, with a Foreword by Kathy L. 
  Smith.
  
  Thanks a bunch for reading. If you'd like to be 
  taken off this list, reply and tell me so. I will try not to hold it 
  against you in any way.
  
  
  
  Elizabeth Sims
