Bayswater Book Co.

I had a most enjoyable experience yesterday at Bayswater Book Co. in Center Harbor, N.H. Happily, I sold as many copies of "Secrets Can't Be Kept Forever" as well as my perennial, "Sherlock Holmes and the Plague of Dracula."

They're promising a big event in the spring. I'll keep you posted.

Where Do Ideas Come From?

I saw Robert B. Parker at a book signing many years ago. He told a story of being on one of those morning wake-up shows all television stations have, sharing a spot with Elmore Leonard.
