Gone North--Here I am in Seattle signing GONE WEST, my new Daisy Dalrymple mystery (the 20th) and the paperback edition of Anthem for Doomed Youth, the 19th. As a note in the front of Gone West explains for the benefit of US readers, the title is--besides the obvious meaning--BritSpeak for "died" or "disappeared." Does a pun count as a pun if it has to be explained?
Speaking of BritSpeak, I was very pleased to find the UK editions of many of the Daisy mysteries available at the Seattle Mystery Bookshop. Anyone who's just discovering the series and wants to go back to the beginning can get the early books from these good people. Wonderful!
(For UK readers, Gone West will come out in a few days, February 16th. You're permitted to skip the note about the double meaning of the title!)
If you'd like to read a couple of excerpts of Gone West, I've done two guest blogs which include different selections: <http://historicalfictionexcerpts.blogspot.com/> and <http://cathiedunn.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-place-carola-dunn.html>
I'd like, while I have this platform, to draw your attention to a video interview: --<http://www.authorsroad.com/CarolaDunn.html> It was done by a couple who, on retiring, bought a mobile home and set off to interview as many authors as they could find. As they started in Portland, Oregon, I was one of the earliest, but in spite of lack of practice, I think they made a very good job of it.
Many thanks to Seattle Mystery Bookshop for inviting me once again.
