Want to know more about The God of the Hive?  Like, how on earth a person like Robert Goodman came to be?  You have a chance to win “Birth of a Green Man,” the illustrated short story about a key moment in Goodman’s history, by sending me the receipt for the book purchased from an independent bookstore.

Mail your receipt to PO Box 1152, Freedom CA 95019, or email it to bees at laurierking.com (substitute @)—either way, I need it by Monday, May 17—and I’ll put your name in a hat to draw from on Wednesday at the God of the Hive Grand Finale event in Scottsdale’s Poisoned Pen Bookstore.

And may the best Indy customer win!

At the other end of the story arc, what about those events referred to in the story, the profound changes the Robert Goodman case threatened to have on Britain’s Intelligence community? The final episode of “A Case in Correspondence” is going up here tomorrow, followed next week by the story in its entirety on the web site.  Read, ponder, and ask yourself what effect Mary Russell had on the United Kingdom…

(I find this the fun part of the Web, being able to play the game and share peripheral material about the actual published stories.  I hope you agree.)
