  CORRECTIONS

  In our March 2013 ‘‘Forthcoming Books, Selected Books by Author’’ section, we listed the publication date for Tina Connolly’s Copperhead as October 2011, instead of October 2013.

  In our February 2013 obituary for Mary Gray, we misplaced Marscon. Marscon is held annually in Williamsburg VA, not in Maryland.
