I'm Headed to a Book Signing in Galesburg

As is our custom, Don and I will be going to Homecoming at Knox College in Galesburg, and while we are there, I'll be signing books at the Wordsmith Bookshoppe in town. 

Even though we graduated many (many!) years ago, we still go back to Knox nearly every fall. Over the years, we have become friends with people from all different graduating classes and we still have friends in town as well, so there's always someone to visit. We also like seeing how the college has grown and changed, and we love the town's signature fried onion strings!

As long as we were going to be in town, we contacted the local bookstore, Wordsmith Bookshoppe, who was happy to set up a book signing event. I don't usually do book signings unless they are part of an event so I will be bringing some souvenirs of our experience at the International Agatha Christie Festival and will be prepared to share stories from our trip. 

If you are in the Galesburg, Illinois area on Friday, October 25, from 1:00p until 3:00p, please stop by and say "hello!"

Wordsmith Bookshoppe is at 235 E Main Street in downtown Galesburg. Here they are on Google Maps.

What is Agatha Annotated?

This website is the home of the Agatha Christie database as annotated by Kate Gingold, hence the name Agatha Annotated.

It's a rich glossary of

  • nearly 1900 terms
  • over 200 illustrations
  • 347 French phrases

Kate found them while reading Agatha Christie novels, and wrote them, along with definitions curated from years of research, into this database.

Currently the first 11 Christie books, those she wrote in the 1920s, are annotated here. 

Anybody can be a member and gain access to this rich glossary. Visit the Community page to learn the details.

We took the 1920s terms and published a book, Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s, now available on Amazon in Paperback or Kindle format.

Kate will be adding to the database and members get the new terms and definitions first before the second volume is printed, plus members can comment and ask questions about the terms and Kate and other members can reply.

We hope you enjoy. Click around the pages to learn more.
