Well.
If you’ve been reading my blog for any time at all, you’ll know that the last six weeks have been a little action-packed. Scotland, Wales, England and then three weeks in Iceland.
It’s been magical.
But I have to say, the wonderful folks at the Poisoned Pen sure know how to cap an adventure.
I took a trip to the Poisoned Pen bookstore in Scotsdale, Arizona last week for the launch of the
new Berkley edition of FINDING FRASER, and it was an amazing experience.
[The 104 F temperature when my plane landed reminded me that I was not in Iceland any more!]
I signed books all day in preparation, surrounded by the most amazing bookstore staff. Huge thanks go out to Barbara and her people: Jeffrey, Miles, David, Patrick, John B and John C, Tracy and the rest — a lovely crew all! They lugged boxes of books, shared cookies, turned pages for signing and did everything possible to made me feel welcome.
My biggest thanks, of course, go to my friend Diana Gabaldon, who not only ensured I was well-fed, but hosted the event and signed every book with me out of pure generosity of spirit.
And to top it off, we had a wonderful chat. Care to join us?
Hope you enjoyed the conversation — I know I had the BEST time!
It was a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten evening.

I was there, and I am still enjoying this fun event in my head! It was fascinating to hear both you and Diana talk of your experiences and your writing process. I loved the fun anecdotes as well. I read Finding Fraser last year on kindle, and loved it! Astonishly, I’ve somehow managed to forget the scene with the fish monger, so I plan to re-read my new signed copy procured from The Poisoned Pen. Which, by the way, is the best little book store on the planet. They stock signed copies, and they ship to you.

Hahahaha! The fishmonger is more of a brief, pathetic interlude that Emma longs to forget, so perhaps that’s why it didn’t stand out to you, Val. Thank you for coming!
