Just seven more weeks until the release of London Gambit on 5 May. I love book releases, both as a reader and as a writer. This past week brought the treat of a new novella in Laurie R. King’s wonderful Mary Russell series, The Marriage of Mary Russell. I have loved this series for years, and it’s been an influence on my own writing in portraying a marriage and partnership between investigators. This lovely novella fills in what happened at the wedding of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. I thoroughly enjoyed catching up on an episode in their lives I had long wondered about and imagined.
Which prompted me to think – what episode in the lives of Malcolm and Suzanne or the other characters that hasn’t been shown in the series would you like to see dramatized?
Have a great weekend!

I have always been very curious about what happened in Spain soon after Malcolm and Suzanne were married, when he was badly wounded. You have mentioned it several times and I have often wondered what the mission was that led to that. I loved the 2 flashback chapters in Secret Of A Lady about the mission he went on in the Spanish mountains that led to his meeting with Suzanne, so this later adventure has always made me curious to know more.

Suzanne has a good question – what is the backstory there?

That’s a great question, Suzanne and Lynne! That episode would be interesting to dramatize. It began with the image of Malcolm/Chalres waking up to a smiling Suzanne/Mélanie beside his bed, which was actually inspired by an early X-files episode.
