Someone planted a bomb in my car!” Yes, that … Continue reading Where’s the Crime?
Guest Chick: Tammy Barker
Marla here, welcoming longtime Chicks friend Tammy Barker to the blog. Tammy has delighted us with her creativity over the years, including when she made us a recipe book of cocktails based on each of our books.

Dateline: Malice Domestic 2024
Lisa here, literally just off the train from the annual Malice Domestic conference in Bethesda. I’m a little bleary-eyed and haven’t had a chance to process the whole amazing weekend yet, or organize any halfway coherent thoughts, but here are a few annotated photos (with, um, important disclaimers)… Continue reading Dateline: Malice Domestic 2024

Chick Chat: New Adventures in Procrastination
We all put off things we don’t want to do immediately (um, right?). But some of us Chicks (and writers in general) have developed particularly ingenious methods of avoidance. In fact, we come up with amazing new ones every day. Read on for inspiration…
