Happy Spring:

The skiing was fabulous at Lake Tahoe in March. Unfortunately, it was non-existent in April since my husband put his back out -- huge bummer. We stayed a week in Tahoe City with a bunch of relatives, mostly skiers, a few snowboarders, and thanks be to any and all higher powers, no one got killed or maimed or too drunk. So much snow and gorgeous weather.  But like football, it has to come to an end -- the snow has to melt, the ski runs have to turn to grass – philosophical huge bummer.

In March I made a long overdue visit to New York City to see my publisher and agent. Three of my best writer friends, The Toots (Linda Howard, Iris Johansen and Kay Hooper), came up as well so we all stayed together at the St. Regis. (Only four blocks from SAKs and right across the street from Henri Bendel.)  We saw Legally Blonde and Wicked on Broadway, ate too much, and did power shopping to stimulate the economy.  Everyone is well and we’ll all be getting together again in September at Linda’s mountain home in Tennessee.

The new FBI, tentatively titled The Shiner, is coming along fine.  The Shiner does not refer to a black eye or to a bright red convertible; it refers to a little girl who can communicate psychically. And she’s seen something.

The 13th annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books will be held on the UCLA campus Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of this month.  It is a positively absolutely incredible event, tens of thousands of people wandering around in shorts and eating ice cream, tons of authors, and a virtual city of different publishing/bookstore booths. If you’re in the neighborhood, come by and have a blast – and say hello. I’ll be signing at the Mystery Bookstore booth Sunday morning from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m., then on a suspense thriller panel Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and signing books right afterwards. You might think it’s a bit much to fly to L.A. from, say, Moscow, to see me, but hey, London isn’t all that far away – it seems reasonable to me.

Just a reminder: TAILSPIN, the 12th FBI thriller, is out June 24th. Double Take in paperback is also out June 24th. Double Jeopardy (The Target and The Edge together) is out June 6th. To read an excerpt from TAILSPIN, visit my web site.

 I hope all of you have brought your spring stuff out of storage and are studying your swimsuits with an optimistic eye.

Everyone take care,
