Book tours & Cons
A funny thing happened on my way to Dreaming Spies… Months and months ago, I said to Random House that I didn’t think a tour was really necessary for this novel, since it would be the first Russell & Holmes in 2 ½ years and people might be interested in it even…
Read MoreLost grey matter
Since the airlines (one of three) seem to have misplaced Laurie’s brain somewhere between Houston and Los Angeles (or perhaps in Phoenix), Mary Russell’s War will return as soon as the lost brain has been located and delivered to her door. In the meantime, here’s a picture of yesterday’s fab event put together by the Mission…
Read MoreTour, and toilets!
I hope you’ve managed to get your hands (and your eyes) on a copy of Dreaming Spies? If not, I’ll be all over in the next couple of weeks, and I’m happy to sign one for you. All my events are listed here. Oh, and I should mention that there are still places left at the…
Read MoreThurber, Columbus, Columbus
Portland was fabulous, and Seattle was gorgeous, in all ways: (Thanks to Meredith T for the photo.) But the Great Bones of Paris Tour isn’t over yet. Monday, I’m in Ohio’s capital. That’s right, Columbus Day in Columbus, Ohio. I’m speaking at Thurber House, which just tickles me. Long have I lived with the suspicion…
Read MorePortland!
I’ll be in Portland on Thursday night–or rather, Beaverton, at the great Powell’s branch there. I’ve done a number of fabulous events at this store, including a really memorable Pirate bash two years ago. This time, I can’t promise a squadron of pirates, but one never knows. Flappers? Skeletons? People wearing Eiffel Tower costumes? It’s…

Tonight’s event at Murder by the Book was a whole lot of fun, as we discovered The Kinky Side of LRK. Yes, The Bones of Paris tour ripples across the country, and tomorrow moves from Houston to Austin’s Book People. Come join us, and see if I can find something to startle you with. Then:…

Thank you to the fabulous people at Copperfields for a great evening, and come join the fun at Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, tonight. Here’s Tuesday’s launch with fab Meredith and fantastic Cara Black (Thanks, M!):
Read MoreAll Laurie, all the time
A big Thanks! to everyone who came out to Books Inc. in San Francisco last night, we had a great time nibbling and sipping, and the stack of books I signed are on their way to the other Books Inc. stores, you’ll find them there soon. If the launch is any indication, this is going…
Read MoreYes, today!
What, you were expecting another day of countdown? Nope, The Bones of Paris: on shelves in your local bookstore, today. And if you’re within striking distance of San Francisco, join us tonight for our launch with a French accent. ** In the meantime, while you’re waiting for the shops to open, take a look…
Read MoreLibraries & love: a ferry tale
My second event for the recent LRK Pacific Northwest Library Extravaganza was even more unusual than in a library built over a river, although this, too, had a watery theme. Once upon a time (last year) I came across an article about a book group that meets on a ferry. These are regular commuters who…
