When I opened Laurie R. King's newsletter yesterday, I did a double-take when I read that she is "going to revisit Kate Martinelli for a story of some kind..." I'd heard somewhere that Kate has a voice-over cameo in LRK's latest novel Lockdown, but otherwise she hasn't been seen since The Art of Detection in 2006. I've never given up hope for more stories with Kate (and Lee, Nora and Al), just like I keep hoping for another book set in the world of Califia's Daughters.
Now, I know "going to revisit" doesn't mean "publishing any time soon," so I won't be holding the proverbial breath. But I will be on the look-out for updates. In the meantime, there will be a new Mary Russell book out this year. And that means I need to catch up, since I'm two behind on that series.
I have never heard of Califia's Daughters but now I am going to have to read it. And I am behind on the Mary Russell series too.
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing book. I keep hoping she'll write more in that world as well! It may be out of print now, but I know that wouldn't stop you :)
DeleteYou're very welcome to it, esp. if you alert me to books that I want to read. :)
ReplyDeleteIt usually adds to my reading list when it pops up on your blog :)
DeleteAnticipation here too, as I loved the Kate Martinelli books. And now I have to investigate 'Lockdown'!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading Teresa's review of Lockdown, I decided it wasn't for me - but your mileage may vary, as they say!
