Audio Update
I finally have the final, final word from my publisher on The Garden Intrigue audio. The physical audio CD is only available for purchase for libraries (the buy links on Amazon and elsewhere were a mistake). If you’d like to listen to it on physical CD, you’ll have to ask your local library. For everyone…
Read MoreToday in Tucson….
From 11:30-12:30, you can find me signing books in the Sisters in Crime booth (West Mall #109). (Note: this is the only signing where there won’t be copies of my books for sale– so please bring your own copies or purchase them at one of the other booths on the way over. On the plus…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
My sainted college roommate rescued me from the book doldrums with exactly what I needed after a hard week of revisions: a box of vintage Elsie Lee novels. For those who haven’t stumbled on Elsie Lee, they’re old fashioned romantic suspense novels from the 1960’s and 70’s and ridiculously hard to find. When they’re good…

I’m thrilled to be a part of the Tucson Festival of Books, which takes place on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson this weekend. You can find the full scoop on authors and events here. The best part? Most of the events (including all of my panels) are free and open to the public–…
Read MorePinkorama!
It’s that time of year again…. Can’t you just smell the sugar and the marshmallow? Yes, you guessed right: it’s time for the Second Annual Pinkorama! (That’s really short for Pink Carnation Peep Diorama, but if I had to write that out each time, these would become very long posts.) The rules are simple: using…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Whither Pink?
Now that I’m (momentarily) home from book tour, this seemed like a good time to unveil my Grand Plan for the rest of the series. As many of you know, the initial plan for the next book, Pink X, involved Tommy Fluellen (Robert’s best friend from The Temptation of the Night Jasmine), Kat Reid (Alex…

Last week’s debate about whether one could include Elizabeth Peters as a Mary Stewart read-alike got me thinking about another favorite subgenre of mine: the humorous mystery novel. If you like mysteries with rollicking, laugh out loud humor, you’ll probably like: — Most Elizabeth Peters novels, with special attention to her early stand-alones, like The…

Thanks so much to everyone who weighed in with amusing Pink/Austen combos. Among my favorites were: — Lady Catherine de Burgh duking it out with the Dowager Duchess of Dovedale; — Charlotte Lucas and Laura Grey putting their shadowy heads together; — Bingley and Miles as BFFs (can’t you just see that?); — likewise, “Mr.…

Hi, all! I’m just about to start on the Readers’ Guide for the paperback edition of The Garden Intrigue— and I need your help. What questions would you like to have answered about The Garden Intrigue, the history behind it, or the series as a whole? I’ll use your questions to write my Q&A. And,…
Read MoreMea Culpa– and Weekly Reading
Many apologies! While I’ve been hunkered down over the 1920’s book revisions, many things that were meant to occur on the website this week didn’t. Coming soon will be: the belated announcement of the latest website contest winner; the Pinkorama contest (get your Peeps ready!); a book tour recap; and, in a special Teaser Tuesday,…
