June 2018 EDITION

"If it's proverbs you're after, you great Norse wolf, how about this one: A p'tit pourche grosse pândis."Lizzie's hands came to rest on her hips. "' The smallest pig gets the biggest parsnip.' Or at least he has thus far. I'm not sure what Ysabeau will dish up for her pet when she hears this news."

Lizzie to Gallowglass on the subject of Matthew and Diana.
An outtake from Shadow of Night in The World of All Souls

PS. I don't have any more broadcaster information I can share for other countries. You need to ask Sky One and Bad Wolf about that.

ICYMI, this is Headline's beautiful cover for TIME'S CONVERT, coming to the UK and their sales territories on 18 September 2018.

Here's a Facebook Live video we taped at Book Expo in NYC in which I answered readers' questions about the All Souls Trilogy and TIME'S CONVERT...

[Again, you'll need to click on the image to play the video].

BookCon visitors had a chance to take their picture in Mary Sidney's laboratory. (This kind of backdrop banner is called a step and repeat--who knew?--and, guess what?!? It's coming to Philadelphia for All Souls Con 2018!)

In-person tickets to this year's All Souls Con event have sold out but you can still purchase a ticket to stream the Con online. The online pass is only $5; we hope you can join us! Go to http://allsoulscon.org/tickets/ to find out more.

What does it take to become a vampire?
You’ll find out September 18, 2018.

My calendar is filling up for July, August, September & October--here are a couple new announcements:

At the moment I’m scheduled for three events at Comic Con in San Diego in July. Plus signings. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Details to follow soon from the Con organizers.

And also, it’s official! I will be at the National Book Festival on September 1 in Washington DC. See you there...

Have you noticed that we change up the three buttons on the homepage of my website, www.deborahharkness.com, based upon the most frequently asked questions from readers?

Right now, clicking on one of those three buttons will take you to (1) updates and info about TIME'S CONVERT, (2) the latest TV NEWS, or (3) MY CALENDAR of events, including the book tour for TIME'S CONVERT with updates about specific events as they become available.

Keep an eye on those buttons!

PS. When is Narrator Appreciation Day??

Saskia Maarleveld deserves all the kudos for her amazing interpretation of THE WORLD OF ALL SOULS. Not easy to dramatize an encyclopedia, but she nailed it!

Today’s #behindthescenespost for #throwbackthursday captures the moment I first saw Ysabeau (Lindsay Duncan) and Marthe (Sorcha Cusack). I was running back to the production trailer to charge my phone. Down the path, moving in the other direction, were two women lost in conversation. They looked up. Smiled. I almost fell over, they so perfectly captured my characters. Here they are a few minutes later, rehearsing.

Fun fact: one of the pictures I had to inspire me when writing Ysabeau was of Lindsay Duncan playing the original Marquise de Merteuil in LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES. So she has always been part of my Ysabeau. ♥️
