MORE HAPPY NEWS FOR AUNT DIMITY'S GERMAN FANS!
News Flash from Christian Kock: The first Aunt Dimity-novel "Tante Dimity und der verschwiegene Verdacht" will also be available in German (again) as paperback from Bastei Lübbe: https://www.luebbe.de/bastei-entertainment/buecher/krimis/tante-dimity-und-der-verschwiegene-verdacht/id_6778501
HAPPY NEWS FOR AUNT DIMITY'S GERMAN FANS!
Here's a message from my German editor, filled with good news: "I just wanted to let you know that Bastei Lübbe are currently in the process of signing the contract for the German publication of the 21st and 22nd Aunt Dimity book - I am very glad that we will continue your wonderful series. We have had great feedback from your German fans so far and I think that we also have reached a lot of people who weren't yet acquainted with the lovely village Finch and its inhabitants. The next book (#21) will be called in German "Tante Dimity und der verlorene Schatz" and it will be out at the beginning of December in ebook and paperback. Just in time for Christmas! It will be available for pre-order by the end of September - as soon as the book cover is ready. It's being drawn by Ommo Wille, the same illustrator, who drew the last cover. Bastei Lübbe will prepare a blog-post for our homepage, where we will reveal the cover and talk to the illustrator about the various stages of his work. Book 22 will be published in Summer 2018."
None of this would have happened without you, my wonderful German readers. I thank you from the bottom of my heart--and so does Reginald!

I simply had to share a photo of the Reginald quilt made by the nimble-fingered Ann Jordan. I’ll let Ann explain: “Our local library is having a quilt show and the theme is 'It’s a Mystery to Me.’ As soon as I heard the theme, I knew I had to use Reginald.” Reginald’s black button eyes are gleaming with delight, Ann, and he’s sincerely grateful to you for honoring him with your needlework. As am I! |

MORE NEWS FROM GERMANY!
My thanks to Monika for leaving a Guest Book message about Tante Dimity auf Deutschland. Over to you, Monika!
Hello!
I own all „Tante Dimity“-novels, published in Germany and I enjoyed reading them. The last two books weren’t printed in German anymore. Yesterday I wrote to Bastei-Lübbe, here’s the answer I got:
… vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage und Ihr Interesse an unserem Programm. Der Band 20 der Tante Dimity Reihe: „Tante Dimity und der Sommerkönig“ wird zusätzlich zu eBook auch als Taschenbuch verfügbar sein. Die Veröffentlichung des Bandes ist für Mai 2017 geplant. Allerdings handelt es sich hier um eine ePub-to-Print Ausgabe. Das bedeutet, dass das Buch erst bei der Bestellung im Laden in Druck geht. Somit kommt es zu einer etwas längeren Lieferzeit. Alle anderen Bände (1-19) werden zunächst nur als eBook erscheinen …
In English, Aunt Dimity will „survive“ in Germany!
I look forward to reading many new stories about Lori and her family … ;-)

UPDATE FOR AUNT DIMITY'S GERMAN FRIENDS!
As many of you know, my original German publisher went out of business last year. We have been searching for a new German publisher and the big news is: We've found one! Here is the most up-to-date information I have about my new German publisher (Bastei Lübbe), quoted directly from an email I received from my literary agent:
"We're expecting the contracts from Lübbe to arrive within the next 3 weeks or so. No word from them yet about scheduling. Once the contracts are signed and returned, we'll inquire. We'll be sure they know how eager your fans are too!"
Please feel free to let Bastei Lübbe know how eager YOU are to welcome Aunt Dimity back to Germany! You can write to Bastei Lübbe directly at: https://www.luebbe.de/bastei-luebbe/kontakt/id_3415534

As many of you know, my original German publisher went out of business last year. We have been searching for a new German publisher and the big news is: We've found one! Here is the most up-to-date information I have about my new German publisher (Bastei Lübbe), quoted directly from an email I received from my literary agent:
"We're expecting the contracts from Lübbe to arrive within the next 3 weeks or so. No word from them yet about scheduling. Once the contracts are signed and returned, we'll inquire. We'll be sure they know how eager your fans are too!"
Please feel free to let Bastei Lübbe know how eager YOU are to welcome Aunt Dimity back to Germany! You can write to Bastei Lübbe directly at: https://www.luebbe.de/bastei-luebbe/kontakt/id_3415534

HAPPY PUB DAY!
Today (5/24/16) is the official publication day for AUNT DIMITY AND THE BURIED TREASURE! If you've pre-ordered a copy, it should be winging its way to you. If you haven't, a copy should be waiting for you at your favorite local bookstore or you can order one online. The bunnies and I hope most sincerely that you enjoy the 21st book in the Aunt Dimity mystery series. Wish you were here to share the carrot cake! |

AUNTIE'S BOOKS, SPOKANE WA
Many, many thanks to everyone who made my evening at Auntie's Books such pleasure. Your home state is going through an extremely tough time at the moment. I was more than happy to give you a chance to think about something other than raging wildfires, Red Flag warnings, and evacuations. Thanks to Jess Lucht for making the arrangements and to the two lovely programming interns for making me feel so very welcome. As for the rest of you . . . I always tell people that I have the most wonderful readers in the world and you proved me right once again. Claudia has posted your photos in the Events 2015 Photo Gallery. Your smiling faces will always remind me of my perfectly splendid evening in Spokane.

The Tattered Cover Aspen Grove, Littleton CO
Many thanks to the lovely folk who made my event at the Tatter Cover so much fun. I tip my hat to Katelynn (whose name I may be misspelling - I'm sorry!) for setting up the event and performing the introduction. Please feel free to check out the happy faces in the Events 2015 Photo Gallery. You just might see your own!
Barnes & Noble Colorado Springs
Thanks to everyone who came to my book signing in Colorado Springs. A special thanks to Shannon, who arranged the event and was kind enough to lend me the bookstore camera when I foolishly left mine at home. I had a great time and I hope you did, too. If you take a look at the Events 2015 Photo Gallery, you may see your smiling face!
Mountain of Authors
It was a pleasure to attend the Mountain of Authors event, held on April 4 by the Pikes Peak Library District at Library 21C. I had a great time meeting readers who were already familiar with Aunt Dimity as well as those who were making her acquaintance for the first time. I also enjoyed exploring the remarkable new Library 21C---the only one of its kind in the entire United States. If you were there, please take a moment to look at the Events 2015 page in my Photo Galleries. You may see your smiling face!

I finished AUNT DIMITY AND THE SUMMER KING two weeks ago! Yay!

The twentieth book in the Aunt Dimity series will be published in April 2015, but as I noted below, you may pre-order your copy right now, either online or at your favorite local bookstore. I hope you like it.
Covered Treasures Book Signing

About Photos . . .
If you send a photo to me to post on my website, I will gladly post it on my website. However, I will never post it on my Facebook page without asking you for your permission first.
Why? Because once your photo is posted on Facebook, Facebook can use it in any way it pleases, without your consent, your knowledge, or your approval. I don't wish to be responsible for giving Facebook free rein with your photo unless you tell me it's okay to do so.
Here's a more detailed explanation of what Facebook is legally allowed to do with your photos:
>You may be shocked to find out that once you post on these sites, that although you still “own” the photograph, you grant the social media sites a license to use your photograph any way they see fit for free AND you grant them the right to let others use your picture as well! This means that not only can Twitter, Twitpic and Facebook make money from the photograph or video (otherwise, a copyright violation), but these sites are making commercial gain by licensing these images, which contains the likeness of the person in the photo or video (otherwise, a violation of their “rights of publicity”).<

A Tea Set Fit for a Queen
A BBC News article about Queen Elizabeth II's childhood toys was bound to grab my attention, but one featuring a PINK BUNNY TEA SET seemed almost too good to be true. I suspect England's reigning monarch would have gotten along very well with Aunt Dimity. If you'd like to see the tea set in person, it will be on display in the Royal Childhood exhibition at Buckingham Palace from July 26 to September 28, 2014. Tell them Reginald sent you!
Belated Happy News!
It's been a strange year in the Atherton household, my friends, which is why I'm just now getting around to sharing some lovely news with you. In May 2013, AUNT DIMITY AND THE LOST PRINCE made it to #22 on the New York Times Extended Best Seller List. And I owe it all to you. Many thanks to everyone who spent their hard-earned cash on my hardback book. You're the best readers a writer could ever hope for. Thank you, thank you, one and all!

You may listen to your favorite Aunt Dimity stories while you drive or (if you're like me) while you're snuggled up in bed. Eighteen Aunt Dimity books are currently available for audio download at: www.audible.com.
Large Print Update
Large Print editions of several Aunt Dimity books can be obtained through Amazon.com. The list of available titles keeps changing, so please check with Amazon to see which ones are currently available.
Recipe Artwork by Dianne Schroeder
Some of you have asked about the possibility of buying Dianne Schroeder's artwork (featured on the recipe pages of my website). I'm pleased to announce that high quality giclee prints of selected pieces are now available for purchase. A wider selection will become abailable in the future. To find out which prints are currently available, go to the Online Gallery at www.bellaartandframe.com and click on Dianne Schroeder.

NYT Bestseller!
Less than a week after its publication, AUNT DIMITY & THE VILLAGE WITCH has reached #26 on the New York Times Bestseller List. Yippee! I send heartfelt thanks to all of you who put your hands in your pockets (or your purses!) and bought a copy. Without you, Aunt Dimity's adventures would come to a screeching halt. With you, all things are possible! Well, almost all . . . If you would like me to sign your copy, please feel free to click on Contact Nancy and send an email with your request. I will do my very best to make it happen.
e-Readers
All of the Aunt Dimity books are available as eBooks on both Kindle and Nook eReaders. I will point out, however, that it's impossible to sign eBooks, so if you're keen on having a book autographed, you might be better off buying . . . a book!
Aunt Dimity on Cafepress.com
Jerry Lofaro, the original cover artist for the Aunt Dimity series, is offering a variety of Aunt Dimity souvenirs in his Cafepress.com shop. Although I make no money from the sales, I'm delighted to know that my readers now have these lovely gifts available to buy or to collect.

Cover Art
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to express an opinion on the new cover art. To those of you who don't care for the new art: I'm immensely grateful to you for your loyalty to the series. As one faithful reader put it, "Your publisher could put a solid black cover on the book and I'd still read it." Thank you, thank you! To those of you who do like the new art: You'll be pleased to know that Penguin is continuing with the new style. Thanks again for your contributions. I loved hearing from you.
Jerry Lofaro, Aunt Dimity's Original Cover Artist
I'm delighted to announce that Jerry Lofaro, the artist who created the beautiful cover art for the first eleven Aunt Dimity novels, is selling fine-art prints of those covers via his website. Jerry captured the unique spirit of every book from AUNT DIMITY'S DEATH to AUNT DIMITY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA, and I'm hugely pleased to know that his inspired images are now available to the public. The artwork can be purchased framed or unframed and the quality of the prints is superb.
Even if you have no intention of buying, I urge you to feast your eyes on Jerry Lofaro's wonderful work by clicking here: http://jerrylofaro.com/ When you reach Jerry's website, click on <Purchase High Quality Prints> at the top of the page to get to the Aunt Dimity Gallery. I think you'll love what you see!
It's been a strange year in the Atherton household, my friends, which is why I'm just now getting around to sharing some lovely news with you. In May 2013, AUNT DIMITY AND THE LOST PRINCE made it to #22 on the New York Times Extended Best Seller List. And I owe it all to you. Many thanks to everyone who spent their hard-earned cash on my hardback book. You're the best readers a writer could ever hope for. Thank you, thank you, one and all!

NYT Bestseller!
Less than a week after its publication, AUNT DIMITY & THE VILLAGE WITCH has reached #26 on the New York Times Bestseller List. Yippee! I send heartfelt thanks to all of you who put your hands in your pockets (or your purses!) and bought a copy. Without you, Aunt Dimity's adventures would come to a screeching halt. With you, all things are possible! Well, almost all . . . If you would like me to sign your copy, please feel free to click on Contact Nancy and send an email with your request. I will do my very best to make it happen.
e-Readers
All of the Aunt Dimity books are available as eBooks on both Kindle and Nook eReaders. I will point out, however, that it's impossible to sign eBooks, so if you're keen on having a book autographed, you might be better off buying . . . a book!

Cover Art
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to express an opinion on the new cover art. To those of you who don't care for the new art: I'm immensely grateful to you for your loyalty to the series. As one faithful reader put it, "Your publisher could put a solid black cover on the book and I'd still read it." Thank you, thank you! To those of you who do like the new art: You'll be pleased to know that Penguin is continuing with the new style. Thanks again for your contributions. I loved hearing from you.
