Welcome, and thanks for clicking in.
I've always loved libraries, but I didn't appreciate their importance to authors until I became a published writer. Hardly a week goes by without bringing e-mails from readers who have just discovered The Heat of the Moon and Disturbing the Dead in their local libraries and want to tell me they enjoyed reading them. A good library is essential in every community, and it's up to those of us who love books to keep our libraries strong and thriving. If your ballot on election day includes a bond issue or other initiative to help your local library system, please vote yes!
I've been surprised and flattered by the number of people who have told me they're eagerly awaiting a third book featuring Rachel Goddard. Right now I'm hard at work on it, and although I don't have an exact publication date I hope it won't be too far in the future. The book -- I have a title, but I'm a little superstitious about sharing it at this stage -- is set in Mason County, Virginia, where Disturbing the Dead takes place. You'll meet some intriguing new characters, and can expect to see Tom, Holly, Brandon, Sheriff Willingham and Dr. Lauter again. The housekeeper who might or might not have psychic talents will also make another appearance, thanks to a reader who told me, "I love Mrs. Barker! You must bring her back."
At Bouchercon in Baltimore, I'll be on a panel at 10 A.M. Saturday, October 11, talking about a great subject that's close to my heart: animals in mysteries. Here's the official description (and I should explain that all panel topics are song names, with the singer/composer in parentheses):10:00 A.M.-11:00 A.M. CAT SCRATCH FEVER (Ted Nugent) Animal Planet has nothing on these writers. Evelyn David (moderator), Claudia Bishop, Gabriella Herkert, Sandra Parshall, Clea Simon
