GOOD BOOKS I'VE READ RECENTLY

The Welsh Girl, by Peter Ho Davies. People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks. The Man in the Moss and The Wine of Angels, by Phil Rickman. Volk's Shadow, by Brent Ghelfi. Marco Polo, by Laurence Bergreen.

I like big stories about people who turn out to be extraordinary when they find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. It's why I like epics, and it's why I like Shakespeare. It's also why I have little patience with small, gray stories about people with small, gray souls. They're - well - small and gray.

HeroesMy husband. My brother, who is a firefighter. Abraham Lincoln. Winston Churchill. Atticus Finch. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Zabdiel Boylston (the historical heroes of my first book.) I admire integrity, grace, and wit that refuse to give way under fire.

Kate Stanley returns...

My newest thriller

comes out in the U.S. on April 15, 2010 as

HAUNT ME STILL....

It comes out in the U.K. on January 21, 2010, as

THE SHAKESPEARE CURSE

I've wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. Early on, my fallback career choices were ballerina and astronaut. Much later, I thought I'd become a Shakespeare professor. Through some strange twists and turns, I've circled back to writing...

My first novel--....INTERRED WITH THEIR BONES....--is a literary thriller about finding one of Shakespeare's lost plays.

It hit UK shelves in January as ....THE SHAKESPEARE SECRET.

A long lost work of Shakespeare, newly found.

A killer who stages the Bard's extravagant murders as flesh-and-blood realities.

A desperate race to find literary gold, and just to stay alive...

In the U.S., buy it online at:

....Amazon....

....Barnes & Noble....

....Books-a-Million....

....Powell's....

Or ....An Indie Bookseller near you.....

In the UK, buy it online at:

....Amazon.co.uk....

....Tesco.com....

....Waterstones.com....

Or direct from the publisher at ....Little, Brown.....



My first book, ....THE SPECKLED MONSTER.... (Dutton, 2003), is a non-fiction thriller about smallpox: about the first two people to force inoculation to the attention of western science, by trying it on their own children in 1721.

Things that made me happy this holiday season included:
That my best friend bought her husband a copy of Interred With Their Bones for because he is swamped with Shakespeare (theatre grad student) and dug it immensely.
Hope your new year is going well!

And, Jennifer, I told people on another blog that you sold three of those books, at least. One of the librarians said she was thinking of buying a copy. I suggested she listen to you first, and then decide. She bought three copies.
Thank you again!

Hey Jennifer, thank you for giving me a little space in your space.

Summers almost over, but maybe you can lie out by the pool one more time, you might want to pick up my new book, The Second Virgin Birth. It's a great read.

Regardless of what you do, just remember this: Good friends don't let you do stupid things......alone!

ps - I'm getting your book tomorrow.

Thank you, again, Jennifer, for speaking at the library yesterday. Posted my blog, and it was picked up by Reuters, http://...com/4bwcu8. And, it was amusing to see an article on the entertainment page of the Arizona Republic today - unusual Shakespeare movies. I checked to see if you wrote it.
