By the Book

Elsie Morales, the customer services rep at RT Book Reviews, recently went to Newport, R.I., to tour some of the gorgeous mansions there. Before she left for her vacation, she ordered two mysteries by Anne-Marie Sutton, MURDER STALKS A MANSION and GILDED DEATH.

Here's a photo of Elsie (left) with the author at a signing in Newport:

Here's what Elsie has to say about their meeting:

I met Ms. Sutton at the Breakers Mansion, which many of you may know was one of the Vanderbilt family's summer homes. She was very gracious, a bit shy perhaps, because I made a big to-do with my blue linen hat and blue sequined blouse sure to catch her eye. To my surprise she remembered sending my books to Brooklyn, where I live.

I mentioned how I purchased her books knowing I would be visiting Newport and hoped that she and I would meet. She autographed my books and went a step further, writing a personal inscription expressing how happy she was about our encounter at the Breakers.
