I’m on Facebook. Feel free to friend me.





I really value your messages, your comments, all your support. And the invitations to make personal appearances. Thank you so much!

It's best if you have a media request, or an invitation to do an event, if you write to my publicists. They're the ones who are coordinating my schedule.

In the United States, that is Sarah Melnyk, of Minotaur books. Sarah.Melnyk@stmartins.com

In Canada, please write to Jamie Broadhurst, of Raincoast Books. jamie@raincoast.com

In Britain, please write to Sally Wray, of Little, Brown. sally.wray@littlebrown.co.uk

My literary agent is Teresa Chris. She's also in the UK and her website is: www.teresachrisliteraryagency.co.uk

I can't tell you how meaningful it's been for me to read your messages. Thank you for taking the time to find the site, to read this far, to read the books and now to write to me. I know the effort involved and I'm most grateful and will do my very best to get back to you!
You can also follow me on Facebook and my blog, if that interests you.

Being a member of the crime writing community is wonderful, and I feel it's so important to support each other - including the fabulous independent mystery bookstores who sell our books. If you'd like to buy my book from one of these stores, just click on the links at the top of my home page. You'll get terrific service, and be doing a service in return.

If you're an independent mystery bookstore and would like a link, please let me know. It would be a pleasure.




Three Pines café au lait mugs and packets of signed Three Pines/Vive Gamache bookplates are now for sale, our local bookstore, Brome Lake Books, says it would be happy to sell them to you. The photo on the left shows Trudy and me modeling a mug. On one side it says, ‘Vive Gamache’ and the other has the image of three pine trees (you can click on the images below to view larger pictures). We’d initially designed them simply to give away as ‘thank you’s’ to people who’d been very helpful, but there was so much interest from readers we decided to make them more widely available.

We've designed another Three Pines item, something that we hope you can use - and something easy to mail! It's a Vive Gamache Three Pines tote bag (pictured below) - but one specially designed to roll up small so you can carry it with you. We use ours for groceries, so we needn't use plastic bags anymore. You can contact Danny and Lucy at Brome Lake Books about the Vive Gamache Three Pines totes.

If you’re interested just email Danny and Lucy at Brome Lake Books: blb@b2b2c.ca or call them at 1-450-242-2242.

So many people have written to compliment me on the website, and I wish I could take credit. Well, actually, I do sometimes. But the truth is, it's designed by Linda Lyall. Gary Matthews, a friend in Sutton also took some of the pictures, as did Michael, my husband in Sutton, and Jacques Laurent, a wonderful photographer in our area of Quebec's Eastern Townships. His website is:
