Mary Russell's Interests
|
| General | Books, 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. | | Music | Tin ear, I'm afraid. I can force a tune from the tin whistle, but that's about it. | | Movies | The cinema is an excellent place to get in out of the cold and take a nap, particularly when being pursued by a malefactor. | | Television | Sorry? what is 'television'? | | Books | My memoirs have been published, in eight 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) | | Heroes | The 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 was 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 ninth, concerning the summer of 1924 when Holmes and I returned to England after a lengthy absence. Follow my literary agent's progress with the new 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.
