November Can’t Come Too Soon
Somehow, charcoal-flavored cocoa is a vice I’ve managed to avoid acquiring until now, and I feel it’s in my best interests to keep it that way….

When not avoiding parallel universes where chocolate and charcoal are a desirable combination, Jonelle Patrick writes novels set in Tokyo…

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
I just ordered Painted Doll! So eager to devour it. Congratulations on # 4!
Ever your fan,

Jamie! Seeing your comment here this morning brought a big smile to my face! You have been one of my longest supporters and most lovely dispenser of kind words, and I’m so happy that you’re going to read Painted Doll. I hope you enjoy it – thank you for sticking with me for so long! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
Charcoal Cacao? Who comes up with this stuff? The same people who put furikake on everything from grilled fish to popcorn here in Hawaii, that’s who!
Ahahahaha, yes, they are EVERYWHERE! (And while the Japanese love for novelty does make things perpetually interesting, I feel kind of sorry for the new product teams that have to come up with something new under the sun every damn month. Still…)
