Alex Kingston Reacts to River Song’s Most Iconic Doctor Who Moments
“Do you know what? I don’t ever really watch myself. I find it very hard to watch myself. I never watched myself on ER. And it’s so funny, sort of looking back. I’m actually not that bad! Sorry, it’s just like…oh my God, this is really good! So, yea…wow, who knew!” - Alex Kingston
A Reading from Alex Kingston|The Ruby’s Curse
1939, New York: River Song, author of the Melody Malone Mysteries, is forced to find a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. River doesn’t believe in curses - but is she wrong? From the top-security confines of Stormcage to the barbarism of first-century Egypt, River battles to find the Eye of Horus before its powers are used to transform the universe. To succeed, she must team up with a most unlikely ally - her own fictional alter ego, Melody. And together they must solve another mystery: Is fiction changing into fact - or is fact changing into fiction?

Alex Kingston said:
“Having absolutely no idea of the journey I would be taking with River Song when I first uttered those words, ‘Hello Sweetie’, I cannot begin to express how excited I am to be able to continue not only River, but Melody’s adventures on the written page. A sassy private detective and a time travelling archaeologist joining forces to solve a mystery? What’s not to love!?”
