The Proud Sinner

I know quite a few of my readers enjoy Priscilla Royal’s mysteries, set in 13th century England. So I am very pleased to remind everyone that her newest, The Proud Sinner, is being published this week. Her publisher, Poisoned Pen Press, has also republished her first novel, Wine of Violence, and I was very flattered when they asked me to write a new Forward for this new edition of Wine. I will be doing an interview on my blog with Priscilla after she gets back from Arizona; see below for details.
This next bit of information is for any of my readers fortunate enough to live near Scottsdale, Arizona. Priscilla will be signing copies of her new novel at The Poisoned Pen, my favorite bookstore, this Saturday, February 11th, between noon and 1 PM. If some of you live elsewhere and would still like an autographed copy, just contact the staff at the book store; they would be happy to accommodate your request. I copied this from the Poisoned Pen’s newsletter, which anyone can subscribe to; it is a fun way to keep up to date on new books and authors; sooner or later, all writers end up at the Poisoned Pen.
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11 12:00 PM
Priscilla Royal signs The Proud Sinner (Poisoned Pen $26.95; $15.95) Medieval Mystery #13

"Royal's 13th medieval murder takes a page from The Mousetrap, forcing the detective to think outside the box imprisoning her and her suspects."-- Kirkus Reviews.

Ever wonder how medieval kitchens prepped food? and served it. They are truly precursors of today's Locavore cuisine. There's kitchen inspection too!

Prioress Eleanor of Norfolk's Tyndal Priory must play reluctant host to seven scheming abbots and their servants who arrive at her door. One, suddenly taken ill while riding, is taken to the infirmary--and soon dies. Sister Anne redoubles her efforts to discover the cause of Ilbert's death when Odo becomes ill and Abbott Gifre dies after eating mushroom tart. Are the priory's kitchens, or Sister Anne, to blame?

Both Crowner Ralf and Eleanor's right hand, Brother Thomas, work clear the priory while searching out a killer before they all die, one by one.

Also in paperback: Proud Sinner ($15.95). And Order the first 12 medieval mysteries by Royal
