I'm around the world in more ways than one this week! First I'm the guest blogger for Stephen Braynton.

His best question: What author would you most like to have dinner with?


I'm also publishing my latest funny author promotional video shot on the Beara and Dingle Peninsulas in Ireland!

For Annette Synder's 50 State, 50 Author Blog, I got to represent Arizona. I wrote about how I got started with MARIACHI MURDER. The first scene came to me while I was doing the monotonous job of painting the house!

I had a giveaway for readers who commented on the blog. I got such sweet responses that I actually drew two winners for a free copy of my mariachi CD, "Diana canta la venganza," meaning "Diane Sings Revenge." The winners were Mary Deal and Kelly Heckart. I thnk I've already turned Mary into a diehard mariachi music fan!
