Book tour dates for DOWN TO THE BONE by Caitlin Rother

After researching this book for a dozen years, I'm thrilled to announce that the long-awaited release of the story behind the McStay family murder case is fast approaching. I'll be doing book discussions and signings all summer--up and down Southern California, also in Arizona, and even in Nashville, so hopefully I will see your smiling face at one of these events! I will only be selling my back titles, most of which are out of print, at the library events.

This list of events is current as of today, 4/30. If I add any more, I will put the events/dates in bold. If you or your group would like to invite me, the author, to speak to your group, or at your library or bookstore, please contact me at crother@flash.net.

I will be doing three separate launch events, starting on the release date:

-- 6/24/25, Tuesday at 7 pm, talk and signing at Barnes & Noble in Mira Mesa (San Diego)

-- 6/26/25, Thursday at 6:30 pm, talk and signing at Fallbrook Library (North San Diego County)
