Dinner with The Spy Guy: James Grady
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at the Embassy Suites in Friendship Heights
Join us to hear James Grady, award-winning and best-selling author Six Days of the Condor, Mad Dogs and several other thrillers. Mr. Grady will debrief us on the evolving world of e-publishing, his unorthodox approach to writing, clues about his latest edgy thriller, and other fascinating topics.
You can go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MeWjsgDSPM to view the short film the e-book publisher made for This Given Sky, Mr. Grady’s newest release. Or read about that book here: http://mysteriouspress.com/products/noir/this-given-sky-by-james-grady.asp. For more information on Grady’s work in general, visit http://www.jamesgrady.net.
Bring your questions and comments to the MWA dinner meeting on February 7, 2012. We’re saving a seat just for you. No, it won’t suddenly eject you into the sky like the James Bond car seat. (At least, we don’t think it will.)

Make check out to Mystery Writers of America. We MUST make dinner reservations with the hotel by Friday morning, February 3rd, 2012.
Mail your check so that we receive it by Wednesday, February 1:
Alan Orloff
11906 Paradise Lane
Herndon, VA 20171.
Indicate your entrée and dessert choices on your check, please.
Or email Alan at alan@alanorloff .com and write that you plan to attend and that your check is in the mail, or that you'll be bringing it to the dinner on February 7th. You can also call Alan at 703-758-1031 and leave a message.
PLEASE NOTE: Our meeting price has not increased since 2003--a phenomenal record, given what's been happening to prices generally. However, the hotel raised our price in 2011, and to keep the cost of meetings from rising, we eliminated the glass of wine that used to be included with our meals. Coffee, tea, and sodas will still be available with the meal, and wine and mixed drinks will be available at the cash bar.
WEATHER: For any announcements regarding cancellation or postponement in the event of inclement weather, check the Chapter email list or the announcement list, or check with the hotel at 202-362-9300, or call Alan.
IMPORTANT: Our in-person payment policy is based on trust, and we want to continue this practice. We understand that emergencies happen, so if you let us know--even on the day of the dinner--that you can't make it, then we don't have to pay for your dinner and you won't be charged. Please don't be a no-show/no-pay. Thank you.
See you on February 7th!
