"The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn't just rip from the headlines. She's one step ahead of them. 212 scares you and keeps you turning the pages into the wee hours."

My sister the comedian (and all her little helpers)
Monday, September 22, 2008
 So....several times on book tour I've been asked the same question during Q&A, verbatim: "So were you really rescued from a plane?" (For those of you who don't know, this is a reference to the backstory of the fictional Alafair Robicheaux in the Dave Robicheaux series authored by a different Burke.) Someone posting as Barnaby Jones even asked the question while I was briefly a guest at the Barnes & Noble Center Stage Book Club.
My sister Pamala (webmaster at my dad's site) just confessed that she has been tracking my movements across the country, enlisting volunteers to pose the question, and then called the stores afterwards to make sure they were in on the joke. And the poster known as Barnaby Jones? That would be the prankster once again.
Can't believe I didn't figure it out sooner! As for her helpers on the road, next year I expect a different question.

That is too funny...when "Barnaby Jones" asked that on B&N I actually chuckled - was a little stunned someone thought that was true. Good one, Pamela! But Alafair, how did you finally figure out the scheme?
She had to tell me! I'm apparently piss poor at solving mysteries in real life.
How long did she plan to leave you in the dark?
You do have something in the works to get back at her, right?
Maybe involving skunks?
