<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>I've put up a "test version" of my Dark Deeds blog. In August I plan to start doing a weekly synopsis of an actual case file. Do you think there's an interest in that sort of thing out in the blogosphere? I don't plan to cover the "usual suspects" like John Wayne Gacy or BTK or Son of Sam, etc, just some that I've stumbled upon while researching my novels, one of which involves a serial killer, the other a stalker. </p>

<p>I'm open to suggestions, comments, etc. And also to linking to other blogs about crime. Here's the link: <a href="http://darkdeeds.susanfleet.com/index.html" target="_blank">Dark Deeds</a></p>

<p>I've written two crime thrillers, one about a serial killer and one about a stalker. Hence I did a lot of research on serial killers and stalkers. I'm thinking about launching a blog (a subset of my website), tentatively titled Killer Tales. On it I'll put up short (500 words or so) articles/profiles of actual serial killers, stalkers and domestic violence murders.</p>

<p>Here's my question. Do you think this will help market my crime novels? I would, of course, have a brief blurb about the related novels and buy-links. People seem to be fascinated with true crime. I plan to write about the less well known cases ... no Ted Bundy, cases like RI serial killer Jeff Mailhot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to your input ... Susan</p>

I'm looking for a few good men - or more likely women, although I certainly don't want to exclude anyone - who might be interested in starting a group blog together.<br />
<br />
I'm a brand new author, my first book is scheduled to be released in November 2008 from Berkley Prime Crime, and I'm hoping to find some other folks in the same boat (new authors, debut authors), so we can navigate the choppy waters of BSP together.<br />

I write light-hearted, romantic - dare I say sexy? - fairly cozy, contemporary mysteries, so if that's your cup of tea and you'd be interested in joining forces with me, please let me know!

While Crimespace is devoted to discussions of crime fiction, there are certain things important to any writer which transcends genre: attracting new readers primary among them.<br />
<br />
I've always been a firm believer in the importance of a writer establishing as close a relationship with readers and potential readers as time and circumstances allow. Any reader or prospective reader who takes the time to contact me always gets a personal response. Without readers, the writer is nothing, so a little courtesy goes a long way.<br />
<br />
I also believe that a prospective reader is far more prone to picking up a book by a writer he/she feels he/she knows on a personal level than a book by a total stranger.<br />
<br />
To that end I have several blogs as well as a website. And after finishing a personal project of scanning 70 years of family photos into my computer, it occurred to me that I don't recall ever having seen a writer's blog consisting of photos from his or her life. What better way for a reader to get to know a writer?<br />
<br />
So I've started a photoblog...<i>Dorien Grey: A Life in Photos</i>, at <a href="http://www.doriengreyphotolife.blogspot.com">http://www.doriengreyphotolife.blogspot.com</a>, inviting prospective readers to join me on a visual as well as a written journey through this one writer's life.<br />
<br />
Each entry consists of one photo with a brief, casual paragraph of explanation, and I intend to add a new one every day or so, but often enough to hopefully have people coming back.<br />
<br />
Have you had any experience with any other writer photoblogs? In any case, I'd be interested to hear what you think of the idea. And perhaps it may give you an idea of your own.<br />
<br />
Though I regret that I don't have the time to visit Crimespace as often as I would like, you can reach me direct at doriengrey@gmail.com<br />
<br />
Best Regards,<br />
<br />

Reading the post asking about people's essential non-crime blogs (<a href="http://crimespace.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=537324%3ATopic%3A15926">http://crimespace.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=537324%3ATopic%3A15926</a>) made me wonder if I've missed one about people's favourite dedicated crime-fiction blogs. <br />
There are quite a few regular crime fiction blogs I visit most days: Eurocrime; It's a Crime!.. or a mystery (CrimeFicReader, Wales); Crime Fiction Dossier; Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind; It's a Crime (Karen, Australia); Detectives beyond Borders; Crime Scraps; International Noir Fiction. Plus several others I like a lot (Mystery File, Rap Sheet, Murderati, etc). Am I missing anything vital? (Links to all these blogs, and more, can be found on Petrona at <a href="http://petrona.typepad.com">http://petrona.typepad.com</a>) <br />
If this discussion has already taken place and I've missed it, please forgive me.
