I tend to write best when I’m reading something I can read a lot of, preferably a mystery series. But I’ve re-read my favorites so many times… so I went to the best book guru I know, Barbara Peters of The Poisoned Pen. (If Barbara recommends it, you read it.) Thanks to Barbara, I just…

Hello from the train to DC! I’m headed to historical fiction nirvana: the Historical Novel Society Conference where well over a hundred historical fiction authors are gathering to talk shop and share their favorite gossip from centuries past.

I’m homeward bound! (And, yes, if you’re one of the people in the courtyard outside my hotel room in Scottsdale, please try to ignore the off key warbling, “Homeward boooooouuuund!”) It’s been a glorious book tour, but I am so looking forward to setting foot once more on the cracked pavement of my own hometown…

Hello from book tour! I’ve been having the best time roaming the country talking about The Summer Country (if I saw you on the road this week, hi! And if you’re in Chicago, come see me tonight at 57th Street Books! But I digress). The other great thing about book tour? Tons of travel time…
