Anita Elder asked Sharon Kay Penman:

Sharon, I thought to share this photo of you from a reading you did in the Seattle area a few years. ago. http://lolaludesign.com/misc/sharon.jpg When will you be coming back?

Sharon Kay Penman Hi, Anita. I am sorry for the delay in answering this, but I had a flare up of my chronic back pain. I love coming to Seattle, hope that my publisher will send me there again on my next book tour. Publishers never let writers choose our cities; they probably fear we'd all want to go to Hawaii. If I can meet my deadline, The Land Beyond the Sea will be published in 2017 and I hope that Putnam's will send me out on another coast to coast book tour then.
