In the summer of 2021 my daughter-in-law and I slipped through a brief window of sanity in a world driven mad by the Covid pandemic. Our purpose was to see my granddaughter Jane to a summer program in Monaco, then back to her ballet school in Switzerland. In spite of restrictions, protests, and nail-biting worries, the result was a marvelous experience. I invited characters from my mystery series to join me in my imagination and have their own adventures in each setting. Their encounters are: Nice: “The Crime of Passion”; St Tropez: “The Mother Decrees”; Villefrance-sur-de-mer: “The Ghost Boy”; Monaco: “Fracas in Monaco”; The Loire Valley: “The Old Winemaker”;  Saint Gallen: “Whispers of Legend”. The final coda is “Home Another Way” As 2 years later I return from quite a different trip aboard the Queen Mary 2 and my characters join in the celebrations as worlds coincide.

Book Cover Junkie Interviews Travel/Memoir Short Stories Author Donna Fletcher Crow

Going There, Tales from the Riviera and Beyond is a new venture for me. Although I have always used my research trips to develop the backgrounds for my novels, this is my first travel memoir. Working in the short story genre is also something of a departure me. I have loved the experience of going to new places–both in my travel and my writing and am thrilled that it has given me the opportunity to meet new readers.”

Nuttin’ But Books: ❤Author Interview: ‘Going There: Tales from the Riviera and Beyond’ Donna Fletcher Crow

“As with my novels, it’s almost always the setting that grabs me first. I didn’t at all set out on this journey with an idea of writing a book, but as we traveled to such amazing places and had such lovely experiences in the midst of the Covid pandemic, I began to realize how extraordinary it all was and wanted to share it with my readers. It seemed to work well to do direct travel memoir to set the scene for the short stories each place suggested.”

Interview at My Bookish Pleasures

“One of my goals as a writer is always to take my readers with me to places I love. That is usually locations I have visited on research trips for my novels. My trip to the Riviera and beyond was planned to be a purely family time, but it gradually dawned on me what a truly extraordinary experience I was having—a beautiful get-away to places I had always wanted to visit—in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. The summer of 2021 offered a tiny window of openness to world travel between two Covid spikes. And we managed to slip through before restrictions returned.”

PUYB Author Talks: ⭐A Bookish Conversation with ‘Going There: Tales from the Riviera and Beyond’ Donna Fletcher Crow⭐

“The most important thing for reaching readers today is getting lots of reviews. This is essentially the old-fashioned word-of-mouth approach, although now it’s all done virtually. I always start out with a free book promotion and announcements through my newsletter and social media. The best booster, however, is a professional virtual book tour—like the one I’m currently enjoying through Pump Up Your Book. Then get on to your next project. New books help sell old books.”

As the Page Turns…: 📙 A Bookish Word or Two with Donna Fletcher Crow, author GOING THERE 

“After more than a year of severe lockdowns around the world the restrictions had eased just enough to make it possible. With all the proper documentation of vaccinations and tests, along with an ample supply of masks, we set off on the amazing itinerary Kelly had planned: A week on the Riviera, a week in the Loire valley, then on to Switzerland.”

📚 A Bookish Chat with ‘Going There: Tales from the Riviera and Beyond’ Donna Fletcher Crow

“My inspiration always comes either from hearing of an historical event I want to recount through the adventures of my characters, or visiting a place that inspires me to set a story there. In the case of my newest book Going There, Tales from the Riviera and Beyond, it was definitely the latter. I hadn’t planned to write about that trip at all but seeing my characters having adventures there inspired me.”

The Literary Nook: Q&A: Donna Fletcher Crow, Author of Going There: Tales from the Riviera and Beyond

” I was enjoying a wonderful getaway in France and Switzerland with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter when I discovered that characters from my novels had tagged along and were having their own adventures. Whenever we found a particularly exciting or potentially dangerous place I found myself asking, “What would Felicity (or Elizabeth or Antony, or Lady Danvers) do if they found a body, or got trapped in a tunnel, or had their passport stolen?” Potential plots even became a fun dinner table topic in the evenings.”
