Coming up: Nancy Drew, DC mysteries panels.

I'm moderating two upcoming panels at the American Women Writers National Museum in Washington, DC: "Mysterious Women Who Know Their Place" on Friday, June 8 (on DC-area mysteries, with Donna Andrews, Karna Small Bodman, Ellen Crosby, and Marcia Talley, and including some past authors who used DC locales) and "Derring-Do and Nancy Drew Us In" on Tuesday, July 10 (on this girl sleuth's enduring appeal, with Georgetown's Leona Fisher, Mystery Loves Company's Kathy Harig, and University of Maryland-College Park's Ann Hudak). My events page is here.

Happy centenary, Union Station.

Washington, DC's Union Station celebrates one hundred years this weekend. Go here for further details.
