To celebrate the publication of Unnatural Fire I will be doing a whistle-stop tour of the States

At 2 pm on Saturday 24^th July I will be appearing at M is for Mystery at San Mateo

At 6 pm on Saturday 24^th July I will be appearing at San Francisco Mystery Bookstore

At 2 pm on Tuesday 27^th July I will be appearing at Book Em in South Pasadena, LA

At 6 pm on Thursday 29^th July I will be at Centuries and Sleuths in Chicago

At 7 pm on Wednesday 4^th August I will be at Partners in Crime, Greenwich Village, NYC

And I won’t be alone - Award-winning British actress, Celia Imrie, best known as one of the naked Calendar Girls (she needed bigger buns), Star Wars, and Brigit Jones’ Diary has agreed to perform some of the varied programme with me.

We promise an event quite unlike any usual author appearance.  You will have readings from 17^th century plays, extracts from the Countess novels, a Restoration acting lesson, some seventeenth century recipes, a class in 17^th century slang, and we will end with a little song, a Q&A and signing of whatever you care to buy or bring along...

Hope to see you there!
