    Hi BJ,
    Thanks for requesting an online friendship. I'm going to look for your stories (books?). I'm also going to check out MFOB. Sounds like the kind of online place I enjoy. Are you attending any mystery conferences in the future?
    Yours, Debby

    BJ,
    Glad you enjoyed the blog entry. I know there have been times when I've deluded myself, acted cool about raising kids--no big deal--but that parental thing is always there, hovering. There's something about having kids that changes your perspective in law enforcement, never mind life.

    Hey BJ, thanks so much for inviting me to your group. I read your "About Me" with great interest. A friend of mine wrote a story that was just accepted by your magazine!! As a crime/mystery writer (detective series) I look forward to talking to you sometime about law enforcement. :)

    Hi, BJ--Jessica Ferguson told me about this place. I joined just to be with you. Really, it's a great space. If I can just figure it out. I didn't make it to the conference, had bronchitis. I would have missed you anyway. How's Cathy?
