WHAT FUN! I will be signing books with my friend Brian Rouff at a gem of a restaurant located in the Southern Highlands section of Las Vegas. If you can, stop by, have some great food and chat about our books.
I was one of the early reviewers of Brian's The House Always Wins, a very cool book. Brian has known me pretty much since the first Silver Sisters book was published, so it will be nice to share this signing with an old friend.
Terror in a Teapot, the second Silver Sisters Mystery, takes place largely in Juneau, Alaska. That's right. My real sister and co-author, Phyllice Bradner, lived in Alaska for nearly 30 years, so many of the locations and characters are based upon her time in Juneau.
However, the Dumkovsky Brothers--bumbling bad guys from Vladivostok, are pure inventions of our imagination as are the antique exporters Minsky and Pinsky.
Goldie Silver receives the wrong shipment of antique Russian teapots called samovars at her shop, Silver Spoon Antiques. Her suppliers, Minsky and Pinsky can't be reached to report the error, and these samovars are so exquisite they sell immediately. That is when the trouble begins as the dead bodies of people who bought them begin to pile up in quiet little Juneau. WHAT MAKES THEM WORTH KILLING FOR?
As fate has it (um, meaning the authors plotted), Godiva is visiting Goldie from her Beverly Hills estate. In their normal wacky way the sisters navigate through twists, turns and backfires that take them to Seattle and Los Angeles to solve the crime. Their 80 year old mother and uncle Flossie and Sterling Silver, former vaudeville magicians, are in on the action and almost wind up doing their last disappearing act.
