Wednesday, February 13, 2008: Author chat (via phone) on A Far Better Rest at the F.T.B. Jacaranda Library, Venice, Florida. Part of the local season of related events surrounding the world premiere of the new musical mounting of A Tale of Two Cities by Jill Santoriello. Book discussion is free and open to the public. Contact librarian Tamar Wolfe at (941) 861-1270 or twolfe@scgov.net for further information.
Friday, June 6-Sunday, June 8, 2008: Bloody Words VIII mystery conference, Toronto, Ontario. This was a new experience for me and I had a great time and met some lovely people!
Do you have a 2009 calendar lying around? (Sure, everyone does, right?) If you have one, mark it! The next Aristide Ravel mystery will be out from St. Martin's sometime in the winter or spring of 2009. Excited???

Are you part of a neighborhood book club or writers' group in the USA or Canada? If so, would you and your group like to hold a live phone chat with an author?
Writers love talking about their work! (It probably comes from spending way too many hours alone at a keyboard.) I'd be delighted to visit on the phone with your group for an hour to answer your questions and/or discuss my books, mystery fiction, historical fiction, writing, getting published, and so on. College-level writing or history classes are also welcome.
Just email me to set up a date and time--don't forget to remind me what time zone you're in--and tell me a little about your group. All you need at your end is a speakerphone; I'll pay for the call. I look forward to visiting with you!
If your bookstore, library, or community group is interested in hosting an author talk with book signing, and you are located within a reasonable distance of Albany, NY, I would be happy to visit. I also get to Toronto a couple of times a year. Please email me to discuss possibilities. (No charge, unless transportation reimbursement is necessary.)
