Catching my breath

[Rhys Bowen]

I'm finally home for a few days before a much needed trip to Europe.

The royal tea parties were such fun--cucumber sandwiches, fancy hats, the lot! And the stores threw themselves into the spirit of the thing so beautifully too. Linen cloths and good English china in one store, a cake made like my book cover in another, home made scones, home made sausange rolls and a catered tea from a fabulous tea room--these were some of the delights that treated me and my fans at each stop.

Now I'm almost sad this tour is over. but it certainly did the trick. Her Royal Spyness was the number 1 bestselling book for all the mystery booksellers in the month of July!

Now I've almost finished writing the sequel. Who can guess what it will be called?
