It was so wonderful to meet my amazing publishing team for the first time while I was in New York City for the Edgar Awards.
Under Lock & Skeleton Key is published by Minotaur Books, the mystery imprint of St. Martin’s Press, both of which are housed under Macmillan publishing. I got to tour their NYC building and meet with my fabulous editor, publicist, and marketing coordinator, shown here.

And they have a gorgeous view from their office—including gargoyles! Can you spot them? The office also has a secret meeting room through a bookcase—how perfect is that for my Secret Staircase Mysteries!? Sadly, the room was in use while I was there. Definitely a good excuse to go back to visit.

I had a little time to play tourist as well, visiting friends, museums, and of course the iconic New York Public Library. Not enough time, but I'm glad I was able to visit.
