Ransom tour safe splashdown
I wanted to let you all know that I am safely back home. You can imagine how thrilled I was to have to dig my car out of half a foot of new snow last night in order to pick up Holly at the kennel. I had a wonderful time; the readings went very well and I got to meet a number of my Facebook friends! But I am utterly exhausted, mainly from all those hours trapped in those flying tuna cans. So the game plan is to hibernate for a few days. I will surface again once I am semi-coherent. Meanwhile, Ransom is off to a wonderful start. It debuted at #21 last week on the New York Times bestseller list and I learned today that it is #20 on the British bestseller list. Surely somewhere Richard and Henry are squabbling over whose books were more successful.

I know you can go everywhere, but I really wish you had come to Minneapolis. You have a lot of readers here.
Yes, she was, Judith. She is cat-like in a lot of ways, but she never holds a grudge the way my cats did!Hal, I'd have been over the moon if only they'd sent me to Minneapolis. I wouldn't even have minded the snow--much Maybe my readers in MN can write to ask for me to come there for my next book. My publisher once sent me to Boca Raton in great measure due to a woman who wrote frequently to them from West Palm Beach.
You bet we will. I'm really enjoying "Ransom." I began reading your books with "When Christ and His...", and I've been hooked since.
How about a trip to Pittsburgh, you have a lot of fans here as well.
I'd love to go to Pittsburgh again, Judith. It has been years. But publishers never ask writers where we want to go, sadly.
Or if they do, they ignore it... SIGH...
As Hal says, you can't go everywhere in the world but for all of us Sharon Penman readers in the words of the song- "Wouldn't it be Lovely" x
You'd certainly have a warm welcome here in Pittsburgh, Sharon. Certainly securing a spot for you on the Pittsburgh Art and Lectures speaker line-up would be a high profile promotional effort, and we'd love to hear your perspective on creating engrossing, historically accurate fiction! *pokes publishers*
