Mary Russell
Russell tweets; Laurie talks; Dad reads
A trio of tidbits. First, Mary Russell has learned how to post photographs on Twitter. That lady, 109 years old and she’s ahead of me. Next, there is a new LRK interview for your ears to enjoy, with the delightful Barbara Gray in Cincinnati, here. And last, if you have yet to buy that man…

The Fifteen Weeks are drawing to a close, but we still have some of the best and biggest prizes and events yet to come. This Friday we’ll do our first drawing from those who have donated to Heifer International through the Team LRK page, and the lucky donor will win the brand new Bantam paperback…

We got your red-hot links, right here, ground fine and fired up for your enjoyment. First off is a video production of The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. Well, parts of it.

Read MoreVampires and…Mary Russell?

I’m taking questions and comments over at the ever-thrilling Bitten By Books today, and it will probably spill over onto tomorrow morning, in case your thinking process is delayed. Please join us, read the BbB/LRK interview, and throw…
