D. J. McIntosh is the former co-editor of Fingerprints, newsletter of the Crime Writers of Canada. On a very cold (cold) day I grabbed the publicity shots and back cover photo for her upcoming novel The Witch of Bablylon, already sold in no less than seven countries. It's the first of an entire Mesopotamian trilogy, a thriller that delves into the aftermath of the looting of the Baghdad museum. You can read more about it by clicking here.Sadly it's a little too early to order a copy because the novel isn't due to drop until April 2011, but make a little note in the back of your mind, or better yet write and/or carve something on your hand. The Witch of Babylon will be published around these parts by Penguin Canada.
And please, if you know Oprah, mention the book to her. She'd love it.
