Know when to fold them

There’s a good chance I’ll be near some slots this weekend July 14-17—my first venture into the air since pre-Covid, landing in Las Vegas. You might guess it’s for a conference and not to gamble (other than the trip itself).

The Public Safety Writers Association puts on the conference to bring together mystery writers and people with public safety careers who write about their experiences. I’ll be on two panels, one about editing a manuscript and the other about blogging (hmm).

Attached are views of a miniature casino I put together for a conference in Reno a few years ago. It was auctioned off for the benefit of the local library. The slot machines were part of a souvenir key ring — I hacked off the “ring” part!
