Q&A with Laurie R. King discussion

by Justaskmom
Two questions here: first, did you sell the movie rights for A DARKER PLACE and FOLLY? Both are great favorites of mine, because they deal with complex older women protagonists. Second, any other standalones collecting on scraps off paper or buzzing around your head?
Touchstone is also a book I re-read often. Love Grey, hate Carstair, love Robbie, hate the voices. Would like to read another book about Grey and maybe his sad American friend (who gets the sister to honor and keep).

Nope, no movie rights sold, no deals on the edge of announcement. Much conversation, though.

As for Touchstone, I too love the characters, so much that I talked my publisher into making it a series of sorts. The sequel is about one-third written, and finds Harris Stuyvesant in Paris in 1929. I am having such a good time with it.

And yes, some of the others are in it, too.

As I finished reading Touchstone, I was not ready for it to be over. I wanted to learn what happened next to all the characters and found myself wondering if the Touchstone characters might in the future run into Holmes and Russell.

The sequel is scheduled for next year, although I'm not sure Stuyvesant et al will ever meet Russell & Holmes.
