    Noir and mysterious. My game as well. You Canadians can really write, though. In the United States, we have too many distractions. (Shopping malls, serious drugs, rush hour traffic.) I moved to a little island to get away from it all...now I have no excuses.

    Thanks for the invite, Sarah! It's great to meet another noir fan (and Key Largo and The Big Sleep are on my list of favorites, too). :)

    Good luck with Allie Fortune! She sounds like a great protagonist. Hope you can make it to Bouchercon in September!

  • Penny Rudolph

    Hi Sara, nice to meet you. I love the idea of a 1947 female PI. I, too, write the noir side of mystery. Are the 1940s regarded as historical now? I've seen several novels lately set in that time period. How did you decide to set yours in New York? Best of luck...

  • Dave Zeltserman

    I like that beginning about 1947....is the book complete?

    My campaign, The Beatitudes Network, is rolling along. It is aimed at rebuilding the public libraries of New Orleans. My book, The Beatitudes, a paranormal thriller, will be out in the fall and I will donate all royalties to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. NOLA is my home town. Email me at lynlejeune@cox.net to get information for ordering. A worthy cause....public libraries are part of a great city. www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com

    Hi Sara, your book looks interesting. You live in Canada... how do you like it there? Have you ever been to America? Just wondering, we are neighbors, however I only went to Canada on a sail boat in the ocean, discovery the many nooks and crannies.

    stop by my page anytime! Look forward to talking to you!

    Thanks! Noir is not really my "cup of tea" as Agatha Christie or Laura Childs would say, but you sound like you have a fun protagonist. Are you in that hateful state of "waiting" and "being rejected?" Bummer. But I'm glad you made it through the bike ordeal. I crashed once on a ATC in the dunes of Dumont, and got a nasty burn from the exhaust pipe under my arm. That did it for me! But I'd already be writing, so no big life changing thing...except we eventually sold the bikes and the buggie and the motorhome! Good Luck!

    Welcome, Sara! This is an interesting group and a wonderful place to discover more mystery writers. Cozies are my favorites but I like the 'hardboiled' ones too.
    Best always,

    Thanks for the invite, Sara. Sorry it took so long to repsond but I have been swamped with galleys and workshops and other such stuff. I don't know how some authors balance the writing, promoting, keeping in touch with family and friends and still find time to breathe. I look forward to more about your book
