Greetings,
I often say that some of the funny publishing and author event stories we can tell are a function of how remote we are from publishing's locus in New York City.
This hilarious article in the New York Times illustrates my point:
The Cactus Commute: New York to Scottsdale The NY Metropolitan Transit Authority introduced the "full-body wrap" to the subway in 2008, employing vinyl technology more commonly seen on buses. Since then, shuttle riders have seen pitches for everything from sports teams to television shows on the outside of trains. And of course, other locales have tested their messages on New York's rails: There were paeans to the shores of Florida, and the quixotic charms of Brazil and Denmark. A Scottsdale train even found itself competing with a train across the platform. The other train, publicizing St. Petersburg, Fla., was festooned with images as predictable as they are appealing: a high-flying dolphin and a brightly colored cocktail, cascading waters and sun-kissed sand between the toes of visitors. Early reviews have been mixed. "It's not going to make me go to Arizona," Regina Shaw, a train operator for the shuttle, said on Tuesday night. "Florida, maybe." Pavla Bartoszova, 27, from Long Island, swore never to visit Arizona because "Arizona is next to Oklahoma," she said, wiping New Mexico from the map, "and I hate Oklahoma." She did not elaborate.  Don't forget we do our very own programming from The Poisoned Pen. View past and upcoming livestreamed events by clicking here.

Buy Just One Book This Month from The Pen
| |
We hope you enjoy all our services including reading recommendations, author events, webcasts, and a friendly staff who greet you by name and know what you are reading.
In fact, our staff is our brand. We're unique. We're only available here. We can't be franchised.
The only economic model keeping us all going is a simple one: we sell books.
Please do your share by buying just one book this month, and every month. And if you come to see an author, think of it as a night out like going to the movies or a concert or a sports event and think of buying the author's book as your ticket.
I really admire Dan Harkins and his move theaters. They do various promotions. But one thing for sure: they don't have a box where you can contribute if you like. You have to buy a ticket, each person in your party, before you can go in.
Ticketing events is becoming a bookstore standard We prefer it to be voluntary.
Many thanks, Barbara and The Pens

SATURDAY APRIL 6 2:00 PM A Cupcake Cozy!
Jenn McKinlay signs Going, Going, Ganache (Berkley $7.99)
 After a cupcake-flinging fiasco at a photo shoot for a local magazine, Melanie Cooper and Angie DeLaura agree to make amends by hosting a weeklong corporate boot camp at Fairy Tale Cupcakes. The idea is the brainchild of billionaire Ian Hannigan, new owner of SWS (Southwest Style), a lifestyle magazine that chronicles the lives of Scottsdale's rich and famous. He's assigned his staff to a team-building week of making cupcakes for charity. It's clear that the staff would rather be doing just about anything other than frosting baked goods. Then the magazine's creative director is found murdered outside the bakery... Includes recipes.

A Poisoned Pen Press Party
Sunday April 7 2:00 PM
Tammy Kaehler and Tina Whittle
| |
SUNDAY APRIL 7 2:00 PM Poisoned Pen Press Party
As with all our parties, we'll have nibbles and prizes!
Tammy Kaehler signs Braking Points (Poisoned pen $25 or $15)
Kate Reilly's on a bad track. She wrecks her racecar at Road America  in Wisconsin, sending a visiting NASCAR star to the hospital, and loses her cool on-camera, only to end the day by discovering her boyfriend with a friend of hers. A dead friend. With little time to grieve, Kate finds herself the pariah of the racing world, the target of vicious e-mail messages, death threats, and a frenzy of blame on racing sites and blogs, including an influential, anonymous blogger who's trying to get her fired. But nothing is as bad as knowing her friend's killer is still out there. All this plus she's juggling a new sponsor, a boyfriend she's not sure she can trust, and a new-found family she doesn't want to claim. Plus coming up is Petit Le Mans, the ten-hour endurance classic. Will the wheels come off or will Kate run down a killer?
Meet Kate in Dead Man's Switch ($15).
I never thought I'd enjoy this special racing world but it's terrific fun, plus Kaehler has a gift like Dick Francis for making the technicalities of sport understandable and exciting. I didn't care about British racing either until he (and wife Mary) came along.
Tina Whittle signs Blood Ash and Bone (Poisoned Pen $25 or $15)
"Tai Randolph relishes the idea of leaving her gun shop in Atlanta (where she's been involved in too much mayhem, recounted in the first  two books in this series) for a long weekend on her home turf of Savannah, where she plans to be a vendor at a Civil War expo. Even better, the ex who broke her heart two years earlier hires her to track down a Civil War Bible that's very valuable (if it's authentic), and her current boyfriend, corporate security agent Trey Seaver, comes along for a job that dovetails with her own. But after two men are murdered in their quests for Civil War items, and both Tai and Trey find themselves in danger, it's clear that someone will stop at nothing to get a particular relic. Tai's knowledge of Savannah and her reconnection with her powerful but ailing ex-con uncle, Boone, add texture to this third series entry, but its greatest asset is the exploration of the relationship between frequently foolhardy Tai and cool, collected, and brain-damaged Trey; as more secrets are revealed, the relationship reaches new depths. Whittle's snappy prose and nonstop action revolving around these fascinatingly flawed characters combine to make this series a must."-Booklist Starred Review.
Meet Tai first in The Dangerous Edge of Things
($15).

Hardboiled Crime Night
Monday April 8
Andrew Gross, Lachlan Smith
7:00 PM
| |
MONDAY APRIL 8 Hardboiled Fiction 7:00 PM
Andrew Gross signs No Way Back (Morrow $28) Suburban crime
A chance meeting with a stranger in a hotel ends in a shocking murder. Wendy Gould is an average mom-and the only witness. Nanny Lauritzia Velez knows a shocking secret that could prove to be deadly. Both of their lives in danger, this unlikely pair must work together against a network of dangerous men who want nothing more than to see them dead.
Lachlan Smith signs Bear is Broken (Grove $24) Debut for Leo Maxwell
"Set in 1999, Smith's powerful legal thriller debut, the first in a series, grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go. At a San Francisco restaurant, where Leo Maxwell, a freshly minted attorney, has met older brother Teddy, a local legend as a defense lawyer, for lunch, Leo feels flattered when Teddy tells him, "I ought to let you close this one," a reference to the closing statement Teddy is soon to deliver in the case of Ellis Bradley, who's accused of raping his wife. Then a stranger comes up behind Leo and shoots Teddy in the head. This violent act, which puts Teddy in a coma with little chance for recovery, places Leo in the position of trying to serve Bradley's interests by avoiding a mistrial and carrying on in his brother's stead-and finding out the who and why of the murder attempt. Assured prose and taut plotting add up to a winner," says PW.
"Smith's first novel offers a superior blend of amateur-detective mystery and belated-coming-of-age novel cunningly masked as a legal thriller ... a terrific debut. A perfect match with David Carnoy's novels and Michael Connelly's Mickey Haller series."-Booklist Starred Review.

Two Fun April Events
with Lauren Willig
| |
TUESDAY APRIL 9 7:00 PM 
Our First Ever Baby Shower/Book Signing
It's a Girl, so let's go frilly and pink for Lauren's first child
 On Wednesday April 10, Lauren Willig speaks to the Scottsdale Chapter at its Author Luncheon in the wonderful Artichoke Grill at Scottsdale Community College. Proceeds go to scholarships for the College.
$45, Reservations required. See our April Calendar above for details.
Lauren's new novel, a standalone British mystery, is called The Ashford Affair (St Martins $25)
The April Indie Next Pick for our April British Crime Club Pick: "This is a convincing portrayal of 1920s English society and a family history artfully hidden from the current generation. Snippets of information dropped at her grandmother's 99th birthday celebration start Clemmie on a search for the truth about her grandmother. Rich details, realistically flawed characters, and a narrative that travels from England to the high life of the ex-pat community in Kenya and finally to present day Manhattan make this a book to remember."
I will be on hand selling books

Aykol, Esmahan. Baksheesh (Bitter Lemon $15).
Kati Hirschel, the owner of Istanbul's only mystery bookstore, is fed up  . It all started when her lover Selim insisted that she behave like the Turkish wife of a respectable lawyer. Looking demure and making witty small talk were the only requirements. Then her landlord announced an outrageous rent increase on her Istanbul apartment. She has no desire to move in with Selim. She'd rather learn the art of bribing government officials in order to find a new place. Kati is offered a large apartment with a view over the Bosphorus at a bargain price. Too good to be true until a man is found murdered there and she becomes the police's prime suspect. In her second novel Esmahan Aykol takes us to the alleys and boulevards of cosmopolitan Istanbul, to posh villas and seedy basement flats, to the property agents and lawyers, to Islamist leaders and city officials-in fact everywhere that baksheesh helps move things along. Fans of Amanda Cross and Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fishers should start this series with Hotel Bosphorus ($15).
Edwards, Martin. The Frozen Shroud (Poisoned Pen $25).
"The insights into contemporary society are as sharp as the dark and discursive plotting."-The Times. And here is a true modern English Gothic. Death has come twice to Ravenbank, a remote community in England's Lake District, striking each time on Hallowe'en. Just before the First World War, a young woman's corpse was found with a makeshift shroud frozen to her battered face. Her ghost - the Faceless Woman - is said to walk through Ravenbank each Hallowe'en since. Five years ago, Katya Moss was killed, her face also covered to hide her injuries. What are the odds the two deaths aren't connected? Daniel Kind, a specialist in the history of murder, becomes fascinated by the old cases and by whether the two suspects tagged for the crimes really did commit them. He spends Hallowe'en at a party in Ravenbank where a third murder occurs. Once again, the corpse's face is shrouded from view. It all presents DCI Hannah Scarlett, head of the Cold Case Review Team, with the toughest challenge of her career. Hannah has never had such a huge personal stake in solving a case, or cases, and it comes at a time when her private life is thrown into turmoil. Hannah and Daniel, reluctant to acknowledge their mating dance, team up professionally. Before the shocking murder puzzle is solved, both of them must confront ghosts from their own past, as well as the ghosts of lonely, lovely, and mysterious Ravenbank. Readers of Peter Robinson and the late Reginald Hill will find Martin Edwards' Lake District mysteries irresistible. Also in trade paper, see our April Trade Paperback Picks: The Frozen Shroud ($15)
Edwardson, Åke. Room No 10 (SimonSchuster $26).
Gothenburg's Chief Inspector Erik Winter must try to figure out what  happened to the young woman found hanged in a decrepit hotel. As Winter looks around, he realizes that he was in the same hotel room many years earlier, when it was the last known location of a woman who subsequently disappeared and was never found. The two women seem to have nothing in common except for this hotel room, but Winter suspects that there may be other connections. The young woman's parents are bereft and unable to explain the puzzling contents of a note she left behind. Winter, however, senses that they are holding back some secret that might help him to find her murderer. As he pursues his hunch and digs into the old police report on the woman who disappeared-one of his first cases as a young detective-Swedish cop Winter becomes increasingly convinced that the two cases are somehow related.
Jansma, Kristopher. The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards Signed (Viking $28).
The April Indie Next Pick ends with, "It is a love letter; it is an atom bomb; it is literature we'd forgotten could be written." From as early as he can remember, the hopelessly unreliable-yet hopelessly earnest-narrator of this ambitious debut novel has wanted to become a writer. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka, Kristopher Jansma's irresistible narrator will be inspired and haunted by the success of his greatest friend and rival in writing, the eccentric and brilliantly talented Julian McGann, and endlessly enamored with Julian's enchanting friend, Evelyn, the green-eyed girl who got away. After the trio has a disastrous falling out, desperate to tell the truth in his writing and to figure out who he really is, Jansma's narrator finds himself caught in a never-ending web of lies. As much a story about a young man and his friends trying to make their way in the world as a profoundly affecting exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will appeal to readers of Jennifer Egan's Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad with its elegantly constructed exploration of the stories we tell to find out who we really are.
"Light and airy, a funhouse of a novel about the outsized ambitions of authors and the sneaky power of storytelling. Kristopher Jansma's debut is a whimsical round-the-world tour that recalls Calvino, Millhauser, and The Confidence Man." -Stewart O'Nan. "Serious fun. What romantic comedy used to be in the time of Shakespeare. Not a breath of fresh air, but a gale." -Martin Cruz Smith.
"Clever, smart and beautifully written, not only a story about storytelling but also a true celebration of the art. At times hilarious and heart-wrenching, Jansma has managed to produce a mind-bending and utterly unforgettable book." -Andrew Porter. Our April Modern Firsts Club Pick.
Kerr, Philip. Prague Fatale ($16). More Berlin noir.
"Kerr's stellar eighth Bernie Gunther novel) takes the Berlin cop to Prague in October 1941, to investigate the murder of an adjutant of  feared SS Gen. Reinhard Heydrich, who's just become the Protector of Bohemia and Moravia. The morning after a drunken party attended by SS officers at Heydrich's country estate outside Prague, the adjutant, who was shaken by what he witnessed as part of a Nazi death squad in Latvia, is found dead in a locked guestroom. Heydrich wants Gunther, suicidal himself after similar experiences in Russia, to find the adjutant's killer fast, but how is one to identify the culprit amid a house full of professional murderers? A subplot involving the death of a foreigner run over by a train and Czech nationalists dovetails with a surprising denouement worthy of Agatha Christie. Kerr effectively works dark humor into Gunther's weary narration, and the ending packs the wicked bite his readers have come to anticipate." -PW. Kerr signs the 9th Gunther here on April 19. See Our April Calendar above.
Orenduff, Mike. The Pot Thief Who Studied Billy the Kid ($15).
While illegally digging for Anasazi pots in a cliff dwelling, Santa Fe's Hubie grasps a human hand. He was hoping for an artifact, not a handshake and is puzzled by his discovery. The Anasazi did not bury their dead in their living quarters. A more pressing problem confronts him when he hears his truck drive away from the plain above the cliff. The rope he was planning to use to return to the surface was attached to the truck's winch. After a bizarre escape from the cliff dwelling, he is convinced to return by his sidekick Susannah who suspects the body was not a mummy but a contemporary person. "Witty, informed writing and smart, quirky characters take the readers to memorable settings-from a tiny Hispanic New Mexican village to the ranching country Billy The Kid called home and Albuquerque's Old Town. All in the interest of solving a crime that would have left Sheriff Pat Garrett shaking his head." -Anne Hillerman who will be publishing a new Jim Chee novel in October.
Scott, Justin. The Shipkiller Signed (Pegasus $26).
To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Scott's classic zinger of a maritime  thriller (Scott now writes with Clive Cussler, keeping it up), a new hardcover edition signed by Scott. You can follow supertanker Leviathan's Summer, 1978, route from Southampton down the west coast of Africa, around the Cape, and up via the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf to Qatar. A couple sailing a ketch called Siren had their ship shattered by Leviathan. And shipwreck survivor Peter Hardin embarks upon a terrible odyssey of revenge. Thrilling stuff, a great Father's Day gift idea. One can think of Francis Chichester's narrative, Melville, and Tom Clancy, not to mention Cussler.
Smith, Alexander McCall. Limpopo Academy of Private Detection ($15).
No. 13 in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Club series finds Precious Ramotswe very busy. The best apprentice at Tlokweng Road Speedy  Motors is in trouble with the law and stuck with the worst lawyer in Gaborone. Grace Makutsi and Phuti Radiphuti are building the house of their dreams, but their builder is not completely on the up and up. Most shockingly, Mma Potokwane, the orphan farm's respected matron, has been dismissed from her post. Mma Ramotswe is not about to rest when her friends are mistreated. Help arrives from an unexpected visitor. He is none other than the estimable Mr. Clovis Andersen, author of The Principles of Private Detection, the No. 1 Ladies' prized manual. Together, Mma Ramotswe, Mma Makutsi, and their colleague help right injustices that occur even in their beloved Botswana, and in the process discover something new about being a good detective.
