It’s Dark Sky Week. What does that mean? Take a look at your outside lighting. Can it be turned downward, instead of spilling up and blocking the night sky for you and all the birds and bugs that need darkness to thrive? Can it be replaced, so that it’s turned downward—or OFF?—when you’re not using it? Learn more at DarkSky International!

You can also learn about dark sky spaces a little bit sideways by reading my Edgar Award-nominated mystery novel Under a Dark Sky. Sure, I put a murder mystery in a dark park. Dark doesn’t actually mean danger, did you know? Because the villains need the light to see, too. But the birds and bugs? They need the dark.

I’ll be the Founders’ Day speaker for the Jefferson County Public Library - Madison and Hanover in Madison on Thursday, April 30, talking about my life in crime (fiction), writing, publishing, librarying… and my latest book, Wreck Your Heart. This is a program funded in part by the Indiana Humanities Indiana Author Awards program. Indiana libraries made me, so you know I’m pleased to be speaking at one.
