Aristide Ravel has his own MySpace page! To call informally upon him, please click on the link below. At his page, you can learn such useless trivia as his astrological sign, and peek at photos of Parisian sites and streets featured in the novels. Aristide also welcomes remarks, questions, and friendly communication from mystery readers, history buffs, and people who wish they were in Paris.
A Far Better Rest
A reimagining of Dickens's
A Tale of Two Cities
Soho Press, 2000
"A richly textured, tragic tale that, in the tradition of the best historical novels, brings an era alive through the depiction of human drama."

All books in print may be ordered through your local bookseller if not available on the shelf; or always at online booksellers. (But please patronize your local independent bookstore!)
Are you part of a neighborhood book club or writers' group in the USA, Canada, or the UK? 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!
