Kathy to join USO tour of Middle East

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 20:46:27 +0000

In Fall 2011, a group of the nation’s most renowned thriller writers will travel to the Middle East on a week-long USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour to visit troops. The tour, OPERATION THRILLER, will fly to the Middle East, where they will sign autographs, pose for photos with the troops and talk about their books, movies, television series and writing.

This trip marks the tour’s second installment, the first one kicked off in November 2010 and was comprised of Steve Berry, David Morrell, Doug Preston, James Rollins and Andy Harp. That tour visited five bases in eight days and lifted the spirits of many thousands of service men and women stationed in Kuwait and Iraq. Each author is a member of the International Thriller Writers, the nation’s first and only professional organization devoted solely to thriller authors.

The line-up includes:

Clive Cussler (Raise The Titanic, Sahara, Deep Six, among many, many others)
Sandra Brown (French Silk, Smoke Screen, Smash Cut, Ricochet, The Crush and Unspeakable, among others)
Kathy Reichs (The Temperance Brennan Series that became the basis for the popular Fox television series, “Bones,” Déjà Dead, Death du Jour, Fatal Voyage, Grave Secrets, and Monday Mourning, among others)
Mark Bowden (Black Hawk Down, Killing Pablo, Guests of the Ayatollah, and most recently Worm, among others)
Andrew Peterson (First to Kill, recently optioned for a major motion picture, and Forced to Kill)

No Rest for the Dead Now on Sale

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 15:24:13 +0000

Kathy Reichs joins 25 other crime fiction authors in the creation of this gripping novel. Learn more about the book at the official website for No Rest for the Dead. All proceeds from the book will go towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

When the dead body of Christopher Thomas, a ruthless curator at San Francisco’s McFall Art Museum, is found bloodied and decaying in an iron maiden in a museum in Berlin, his wife is the primary suspect. Rosemary Thomas is tried, convicted, and executed, but ten years later, Detective Jon Nunn remains convinced that the wrong person was put to death. In the years since he closed the case, Nunn has discovered a web of deceit and betrayal surrounding the Thomases that could implicate any number of people in the crime. With the help of the dead woman’s friend, Nunn makes plans to gather everyone who was at the McFall Museum the night Christopher was murdered in an attempt to finally uncover the truth, suspect by suspect. Solving this case may be Nunn’s last chance for redemption … but the shadowy forces behind Christopher’s death will stop at nothing to silence the past forever.

Kathy supports fundraiser for Slave Lake Regional Library

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:13:58 +0000

In the middle of May, a forest fire spread to the Alberta community of Slave Lake and destroyed close to 40% of the entire town. This destruction included the local library which many residents relied on for entertainment, community, and news. In response, author Colleen McKie has organized a charity auction to raise money for the rebuilding of the library.

Kathy was one of many authors who donated books or time to the auction. Her signed copy of Spider Bones raised $110CA for the effort.

While Kathy’s book has been sold, the auction continues Colleen McKie’s auction website and Kathy would encourage anyone who is interested to see what’s available and make a bid. There are still lots of nice pieces to be won!

To read more about the efforts to rebuild the community you can read the CBC article on the fundraiser or check the Slave Lake Library website.
