(P)interesting Bones

The Bones of Paris finds one-time Bureau of Investigation agent Harris Stuyvesant plunging into the tempestuous 1929 Montparnasse community of American writers, artists, and hangers-on. Paris in the Twenties is a visual feast, from the street scenes to the artists’ ateliers.

That’s why I’ve begun a pair of Pinterest pages where I can pour all the images I’ve been living with for the last year. Some of them show Paris in the Twenties (like Josephine Baker, here in her banana costume), others are of artists and writers active in 1929, and still others are specific to The Bones of Paris and the lives of Harris Stuyvesant and his friends Bennett and Sarah Gray.

While I was at it, I decided to put together a similar page for Touchstone, from the 1926 General Strike to the bucolic countryside of Hurleigh House.

For the Laurie R. King Pinterest board about The Bones of Paris, click here.  The board for Touchstone is here .  Let me know what you think.

Ebooks & POD

Cover 5selfespress_odb0000001281_t256As a writer’s career goes along, there are always some pieces that fall out of print, or are published in small and difficult-to-find venues. In times past, they were simply unavailable, but now, thanks to e-publishing, they can be dusted off and introduced again to the light of day.

This page lists a number of pieces that are only available as e-documents. We will be adding to them as time goes on, but I hope you enjoy these, as a beginning. [Read More...]

Laurie Loves Libraries

Laurie King loves libraries–always have, always will. I dedicated The Game to librarians, “who spend their lives in battle against the forces of darkness.” I depend heavily on libraries when researching my books, and I enjoy doing events for readers at libraries.

So, from time to time I try to pay it back, just a little: special events, prizes, donating books or audio tapes — a new library in California won a complete set of Russells for their shelves, thanks to a reader’s letter. Every library on this list is there because someone appreciated it enough to send us the name. If your favorite isn’t on our list and you want to add it, add it using the form below or email it to us directly. [Read More...]
