A Royal Pain won the Sue Feder Macavity Award for best historical mystery.

Rhys is just back from Australia and starting to work on a new Molly book—called Bless the Bride. Can it be that Molly is finally going to get married after 10 books?

In 2010 Rhys will have two new books in stores: The Last Illusion, a Molly Murphy mystery in which Molly is hired by none other than Houdini, and a new Lady Georgie Royal Spyness book called Royal Blood. This one takes Lady Georgie to attend a royal wedding in Europe, Transylvania to be more exact. Of course modern young ladies don’t believe in vampires, but something is crawling up the castle wall. Charlaine Harris and Twilight fans take note!

In other news:

Upcoming events include an appearance at the Virginia Festival of the Book as well as Left Coast Crime in Los Angeles, and a speech at Santa Monica Library in March.

Rhys has the honor of being toastmaster at Malice Domestic in April, and will speak at the Festival of Wales in Portland in September.

She is now also part of a new, fun blog called Jungle Red Writers with Hallie Ephron, Roberta Isleib, Hank Philippi Ryan, Jan Brogan and Rosemary Harris. It is funny, irreverent and worth a visit.
