The Claire Montrose Series
I just accepted an offer for Buried Diamonds, the fourth in the Claire Montrose series. I need to finish writing it by March, and it will come out around February 2003. In the book, Claire finds an engagement ring, missing for 50 years. The woman who owned the ring committed suicide—or did she?Meanwhile, the paperback of Heart-Shaped Box is scheduled to come out in January, in hopes of snagging men looking for any book with “heart” in the title for Valentines Day.
Learning to Fly
My next book, the thriller which isn't part of the series, will come out in May. I'm planning on traveling to DC and New York City, as well as the Pacific Northwest, to do signings and attend events.Even though this year's foreign rights convention in Frankfurt, Germany in early October had far fewer attendees than normal, there was a lot of interest in Learning to Fly. Publishers in Spain, Germany, Greece, Denmark and France have all asked for Learning to Fly to consider publishing it.
And speaking of foreign publishing, the Japanese are still laboring over a translation of Circles of Confusion. Probably still trying to figure out what to do with the license plates.
There has also been some movie interest in Learning to Fly. I must be getting jaded about these things, because I'm no longer spending time imagining what I will wear to the premiere.
Do You Really Like Mysteries?
There will be a mystery conference called Left Coast Crime here in Portland March 21-24, with a lot of big name authors. Call Murder by the Book if you want to know more.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
