Rhys has an exciting summer coming up with the launch of Royal Flush on July 7th, and tour of seven cities. Then early August she'll be leading a mystery writing workshop at the Anhinga Writers Studio summer workshop in Gainesville, FL, followed by a weeklong tour of Florida. If you're interested in the conference, with Charlaine Harris as main speaker, go to anhingawriters.org.

In March, Rhys traveled to Hawaii to be Guest of Honor at the Left Coast Crime convention on the big island. The photo at right shows her with the banquet with her Guest of Honor award, a stunning glass flame—the symbol of Pele. Watch video of Rhys and fellow Guest of Honor Barry Eisler or view more photos from the convention.

A Royal Pain has been nominated for a Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery!

In Spring 2010, Rhys will be the Toastmaster at the Malice Domestic Convention!

In other news:

Rhys will be doing an interview on the Book Club Queens Website on June 17.

If you'd like to chat with Rhys, do visit her blogs. She is still blogging as part of the Lady Killers with Cara Black, Sharan Newman, Carola Dunn, Ann Parker, Jane Finnis and Mary Anna Evans.
She is now also part of a new, fun blog called Jungle Red Writers with Hallie Ephron, Roberta Isleib, Hank Philippi Ryan, Jan Brogan and Rosemary Harris. It is funny, irreverent and worth a visit.

Oh, and Rhys is also on Twitter for all you Twitterers. The problem is trying to find time to write those next books: currently working on The Last Illusion, a Molly book and then Royal Blood, a new Spyness book that may or may not be about vampires!

E-mail Rhys if you’d like to be added to her mailing list.
