    Hi Elysabeth! I grew up (partially) in South Carolina, and still have a lot of "kin folk" there!

    Kathryn, I didn't exactly grow up (being an army brat - I've lived all over and was even born overseas) but have spent most of my life in the area now. I like it though - pretty quiet and friendly area (better than some places I've lived or remember). Thanks for inviting me to be your friend and looking forward to your book coming out - E :)

    Hi Elysabeth! Thanks for being my friend. The publisher (NAL/Obsidian) just sent me a box of ARCs. If you can send me your address, I would be honored to send you one! Best, Kathryn

    Wow, you're very busy. Writing, reviweing and interviewing.
    My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
    The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
    Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria. P.S. just posted an excerpt on my Crimespace page.

    Hi Elysabeth,

    I have family in Anderson and spent a lot of my childhood there. My Aunt was an icon at the old Sullivan Hardware store. I think it is a restaurant now. My uncle was the pastor for Nell Townsend church up in North Anderson for many years. I love that area.

    Hi Elysabeth. I remember you said you wanted to read the book some time ago. It will be out in paperback and available to order by the end of the month if you prefer it in hard copy.I'm very flattered that you still want to get your hands on a copy of 'A Study in Red'.

    Thank you.

    Hi Elizabeth, have to agree with your commments. I have been on MySpace for a while now and have to say that there is a very purile element to it.I have had to look twice at some of the comments, invitations and emails that have made their way to me. It is very worrying and certainly should be more tightly regulated. I am a great believer in free speech but there needs to protection afforded to people who are vulnerable and open to exploitation. I am contacting my other reader and writer friends on MySpace to make sure they are aware of Crimespace.
