Welcome to the official web page of Barbara Mertz, also known as Elizabeth Peters, also known as Barbara Michaels! Thus she is commonly referred to here as MPM. :-)

News Flash!

We have inside information that MPM is working on a Vicky Bliss mystery.  There is no publication date as of yet. Stay tuned for more details.

Important! Urgent! Critical!

MPM does NOT autograph photographs of herself either as "Elizabeth Peters" or "Barbara Michaels."  Any offers of such for sale on the Web (or any place else) are FAKES.  Caveat emptor!

Attention Barbara Rosenblatt Fans :

Barbara Rosenblat will be in a revival of Talk Radio on Broadway. The show opens on February 25 at the Longacre Theatre. Check out her website, www.barbararosenblat.com, for more information.

For the uninitiated, Barbara Rosenblatt does the "Recorded Books" version of the Amelia Peabody mysteries.  Her rendition of the stories is just amazing, spellbinding, fabulous, excellent... I don't think there are enough superlatives.


 To the many who have continued to ask about the “next Amelia,” the “next Vicky,” the next project, the next tour - MPM is making no promises. In the near future she will be working out all the finicky publishing details on her revised editions of Red Land, Black Land and Temples, Tombs and Hieroglyphs.

After that she has a two book contract. Stay tuned to the website for future information.
