    You're welcome. I've worked in the television business for many years, but I'm new to the book biz. This should be interesting. Thanks for the add!

    Nice to meet you, Geoffrey! I LOVE City Confidential and have turned all my relatives on to it, too! One of my high school friends, Linda Bloodworth Thomason, is a TV writer/producer but I haven't seen her in awhile. I love Dominick Dunne's show, too.

    I live in Missouri so we sorta are neighbors!

    Unfortunately City went out of production about a year ago afer over 100 episodes, but A&E still runs it and so does the Biography Channel. We have a new mystery show coming on Oxygen in October called Captured! (It'll run after Snapped). Check it out!

    Hi Geoffrey - Cheers for the invite, I'm much obliged. Sounds like a fascinating career there already, even without becoming a writer ... Marlow Productions, eh? You're right, the Chandler thing is a no-brainer ... any man who can make a statement like that is a friend for life. Cheers, Dec
