    Mary Russell's Interests
GeneralBooks, travel, blood types, theological speculation. Pig-sticking I found quite interesting, although I have not had opportunity to practice the sport outside India, where I learnt it in 1924.
MusicTin ear, I'm afraid. I can force a tune from the tin whistle, but that's about it.
MoviesThe cinema is an excellent place to get in out of the cold and take a nap, particularly when being pursued by a malefactor.
TelevisionSorry? what is 'television'?
BooksMy memoirs have been published, in nine volumes to present: The Beekeeper's Apprentice (read chapters 1 and 2)
A Monstrous Regiment of Women (read an excerpt),
A Letter of Mary,
The Moor,
O Jerusalem (in which we are cold in Palestine), Justice Hall (in which we are cold in a country house), The Game (India in the last days of the Raj), Locked Rooms (my Californian past), The Language of Bees (we arrive back in Sussex to find a figure from Holmes' past on his doorstep).
HeroesThe longer I live, the wider my travels, the greater my appreciation for the everyday heroism of the working man and woman.

   Mary Russell's Blurbs
About me:
I enjoy reading books while wandering the Downs, sleuthing with Holmes, and eating one of Mrs Hudson's delicious meals after a strenuous day's investigations. I do not particularly enjoy being banged over the head by a villain, although it seems to happen with distressing regularity, when in Holmes' company.

As I ease into my second century, I find that suppleness of mind comes in the same way as suppleness of body in my youth--one must simply practice. Thus I continue to compose my memoirs, attempting with each volume to duplicate the immediacy of the experience, be it time or place. At the present I am working on the follow-up to my ninth memoir, THE LANGUAGE OF BEES, which concerns the summer of 1924 when Holmes and I returned to England after a lengthy absence. Follow my literary agent's progress with the newest book on her web log, under the category 'The Language of Bees.'
Who I'd like to meet:
One of those stupid criminals the police say inhabit the underworld; those Holmes and I come across are far too intelligent to make one feel entirely easy about the security of the world.

Hi Ms. Russell! Thanks so much for the birthday greetings back in July! I was away on a research trip at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. (naturally examining skeletons) and just returned recently. I'm just catching up now!

I thought of you and Holmes when we had some iron coffins opened....odd I know, but the coffins were from...er...Holmes' time period.

All my best and many thanks again for the greetings!

Ms. King's Virtual Book Club Discusses "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie"

My literary agent, Laurie R. King, has an on-line book club, and this month she is offering a new experience, the chance to discuss a book (not one of mine or hers) and to have some interaction with the author of that book.  Here is how Ms. King describes the new feature:

The Virtual Book Club, which I started in early 2007, has now worked its way through all the books in the LRK canon and a number of related novels and non-fiction works. So in September, we begin anew, only with a difference: We’ll do the occasional month of “The Writer as Reader” where I choose a book, give a copy away, and hold an interview or online chat with the author towards the end of that month.

Our first book? The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, by Alan Bradley, a book I adored, blurbed, and have pushed into every empty hand I see. You can sign up at Mutterings, my blog, for a chance to win an autographed copy of the book (the drawing will be on September 4th) and come here on September 1st to start the talk.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! It was a good day with great research to be had here in D.C. at the National Archives. Then Mr. Bones treated me to a lovely dinner of paella and sangria. I hope you and Holmes are doing well this summer and the bees are productive and cases few (for your academic endeavors ;)). All my best, Carlina
