Victorian Obsessions: Phrenology

February 27, 2012 By Ying 2 Comments

Welcome to the first day of the Traitor in the Tunnel blog tour! Did you know that the bumps on your head reveal your personality? At least, some Victorians thought so. Read about the Victorian Obsession of Phrenology, my favourite pseudo-science, at I Swim for Oceans. … [Read more...]

This is the month!

February 1, 2012 By Ying 19 Comments

Hello, friends. Is it just me, or was this the shortest January ever? I'd still be in denial about its passing, except that I'm so excited for the North American publication of The Traitor in the Tunnel. So it was utterly appropriate that yesterday, as I sat eating lunch, a chipper FedEx guy turned up at my door with this: I wish this photo did justice to how exquisite this book really is. … [Read more...]

This is when it feels real

December 1, 2011 By Ying 10 Comments

Hello, friends. Look at what turned up at my house recently! Yes, these are ARCs of The Traitor in the Tunnel (publishing February '12). That gorgeous cover is even better in real life (mitigated only by the knowledge that the finished copies will be even more stunning). As for its contents... It's a curious feeling, holding the book in my hands. You might expect that after having … [Read more...]

Cover Story: The Traitor in the Tunnel

November 16, 2011 By Ying 23 Comments

Hello, friends! I'm so excited to share with you the behind-the-scenes photos from Candlewick Press's recent photo shoot for the cover of The Traitor in the Tunnel. As you'll see, it's the same team as last time. The model, Amber Ahlquist, looks a wee bit older (I guess even models are subject to the passage of time) and we found the same stylist, Crystal Thompson, which particularly thrills me to … [Read more...]

The Traitor in the Tunnel!

October 19, 2011 By Ying 34 Comments

Hello, friends! I'm so thrilled today to share with you the North American cover for The Traitor in the Tunnel: Those of you with an editorial eye will now be wondering, "The Traitor and the Tunnel" or " The Traitor in the Tunnel"? Why are you so inconsistent, Ying? Don't you know the title of your own book? In fact, there are two slightly different titles. I originally chose "and" because I … [Read more...]

The Traitor, revealed

July 5, 2011 By Ying 10 Comments

Hello friends! In just one month, the third Mary Quinn mystery, The Traitor and the Tunnel, will be published in the UK. Yes, there's still a long-ish wait for us North Americans (spring '12), but I hope you'll find it worthwhile. Candlewick Press are busy shooting the cover, which I hope to get a peek at soon. I recently heard from an Australian reader, gently ticking me off (in the most … [Read more...]
