Wow, I just discovered you. Hank Phillippi Ryan had a pic with you on her site and I decided to ck your site out. I can’t believe I have not read one of your books since I have been reading over 55 yrs. In the 70′s I was a member of the Detective Book Club so maybe I did read one.? I will be going to book store to find one of your books ASPO. I love female PIs and suspense, humor and romance.

Gosh, Sara, I think sitting on stage quietly and eating chocolate is a completely wonderful idea. I’m sure the audience wouldn’t mind! I’ll see what I can do about that dark choc with hazelnut ganache. Thanks, Bookwitch, for your encouraging words. See you soon, Sara – travel safely, and enjoy the next week in the UK.

I’ve never met Sara before an am looking forward to seeing her and hopefully talk to her.

I’m No conversationlist either.

Yum.

I’m not sure people are ready for that kind of advanced ‘installation’. You’ll be fine, Pat! Even I managed to chat to Sara without complete collapse, and I’m NOT a conversationalist.

Sara, Kerry seems to think you may have a few minutes to spare for me, once I’ve waded through all that snow. It is the Peak District, after all.

Pat, by the time I get to the Watermill Theatre, I’ll probably be a gibbering wreck. Perhaps we could do a performance installation for the audience, where we quietly sit on stage, eating chocolate. I do not discriminate when it comes to chocolate, but I do love dark chocolate with hazelnut ganache. Also with almonds. Also with orange peel. Also just on its own.

Hello Sara. I’m one of the lucky fans who WILL meet you on your UK tour as I’ll be interviewing you at the WaterMill theatre on Feb 19th. You’ll have to forgive me if I’m a gibbering wreck and can’t string 3 words together! We’re all really looking forward to seeing you. Is there any type of chocolate you’re especially partial to? I’ll have it onstage with us.

Bookwitch, I hope you’re wrong about train service–that could spell trouble. And I hope the weather cooperates. We’re getting 15 inches of snow as I speak and I confess–I weary of it.
IM Fleetwood–thanks for that lovely message. JN Welsh–when I finish a book and send it to the publisher, it seems to evaporate from my brain. I think it’s something to do with knowing that outsiders will be picking at it, and so in self-protection I dissociate from it–but I can hardly remember the details of the new book, let alone Hardball–which I finished writing a year ago. As for Petra==I don’t know why V I is so patient with her.

A new Novel finished already. I look forward, and even more so look forward to seeing you in Abingdon on Friday 19th Feb. It will be really nice to see the lady who never fails to deliver.

I wouldn’t have thought this in the past, given that I’m a pretty laid back person, but since Petra has shown up I have to say that Vic is considerably more patient than I am. I wonder how she would have handled her ten years ago.

After the blur of working so hard on the next book, is it difficult to turn it off and get your mind back on the last novel for the UK trip?
