Don't worry about these deadlines...things will work out. <br /><br />I am definitely enjoying NOLA and Bouchercon, and the food! Yes, I had Cafe du Monde's beignets for the first time on Monday. But my favourite donut would be an apple fritter. We have them at every Tim Horton donut shop (our national bakery/donut chain). You can try a fritter in Toronto next year!<br /><br />Grace Koshidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934603958949938617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91780520452893988072016-09-15T20:29:25.495-04:002016-09-15T20:29:25.495-04:00Whatever you do, do NOT exhale when you bite into ...Whatever you do, do NOT exhale when you bite into your beignet.

Will keep my eyes open for a chance to say hello.<br /><br />Just got back from Toronto where I somehow missed every single opportunity for my favorite available-only-in-Canada maple glazed doughnut!

I'll be on vacation when it comes out so hopefully will be able to find a bookstore. Please, please come west on your book tour.

Really good things are worth anticipating. <br />Lie Reine, I wish part of your tour was in the South East US. I would love to meet you. ~~Maybe at Bouchercon 2018?? It will be in St. Petersburg. <br /><br />I wonder if it is just parents who want to be in two places at once (ambivalence). I can identify those feelings from when I traveled. Now then donuts.. <br /><br />Sigh my favorite is/are Safeway maple bars from the west coast. Now that I live in Florida, they remain a taste memory. I love donuts enough to not eat them, cuz can't eat just one.. Enjoy the panel tomorrow, wish I was there to hear it.
