Tess Gerritsen at the Poisoned Pen

At the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, Tess Gerritsen was on hand as part of her book tour for The Silent Girl, a part of the Rizzoli and Isles series.












By the time I got there, all available seating was taken. There were a few of us who had to stand during the discussion. Good sign for the author.









Tess even brought gifts to give away...there was also a Team Maura shirt but I was unable to get a shot of it.








































Tess was great. She was super kind to all the fans and signed everyone's book. She took pictures with most of the fans, signed books, talked to some of the fans. She even signed my DVD cover for Rizzoli & Isles Season 1.

Character Description by Actors

"She gotta be tougher, she gotta be stronger, she's gotta be harder, she's gotta be better, faster than all the men around her."

"She is a very different type of a woman and she works in a male dominated place that she has to fight for her space within all of it."

"She's very scientific and mathematical and logical and she knows a lot of things and she ponders a lot of stuff and likes to go under the surface of things."

"She's somebody whose brain is constantly going and clicking..."

Hmmm. sounds kinda familiar. =P
