Me? Guest of Honor???

I'm home from this year's Malice Domestic where a secret I've been bursting to tell everyone was revealed.

I'm going to be next year's Malice Domestic Guest of Honor!

I have known since early March, but wasn't at liberty to say anything until it was officially announced at the end of this year's Agatha Awards Banquet. This is an amazing honor. When I look back over my collection of programs from past years and see the other authors who have held this title, I'm humbled. And gobsmacked. 

Adding to my excitement was learning that my good pal and fellow Agatha nominee (although she's actually brought the teapot home a few times), Ellen Byron, will be Toastmaster! It promises to be a fun weekend! 

I have a lot more news coming in the next days and weeks, but this is enough for one post.
