Armchair Travel via Death in the Kremlin

Feel like getting away from it all this month? Well, reading my latest novel, Death in the Kremlin, will take you to places you may or may not want to visit IRL (that’s “in real life,” if you’re not up on your text/internet abbreviations).

Here’s a quick list: Manhattan, Queens, Long Island. Okay, so far, pretty routine. But there’s also Kure Beach, NC (I know, it’s winter), Washington, DC (heaven forbid), Vegas (always a gamble, haha), Paris and Saint Remy, France (now we’re talking), Berlin (always interesting, lots of ghosts), and, of course, Moscow. Not a bad itinerary for a winter’s day.

I’ve spent time in all of these places except Moscow and, since I’m not big on Russian prisons and I may carry a gummy every once in a while, I think I’ll continue to steer clear. But we can all go there, safely at home—wherever home may be—sitting in a cozy chair with a martini or a glass of wine, near the fire if you have one, through the magic of books.

Happy Holidays!
