    Your mom is on to something, Ali. Bollywood puts out very entertaining films. Who can resist the singing and dancing. And in recent years, the quality of the stories just gets better and better.

  • Simon Spurrier

    Hey Ali - thanks for the message. Yeah, exciting times. As I keep saying (sorry!) I'm still really new to all this, but the one thing that's impressed me throughout has been how genuinely excited and enthusiastic all the bods at Headline have been. That's the best you can ask for, I guess. ;)

    Stay well!

    Ali, that was a helluva party you missed the other night! You've got to get yourself up North for the next one...I put the evidence up on my page for you.

  • Olen Steinhauer

    I, too, have seen you, Ali. That handsome mug does make the rounds. One of these days we'll have to break through that social wall when we're in the same room!

    Influences are funny things. My first reviews referenced influences I hadn't read, essentially giving me an interesting reading list to work off of later.

  • Tom Cain

    Ali, my man! I was wondering when you and I would bump into one another on here ...

    May 26, 2007

  • Ali

    Thanks Tom -

    Good to see you here, lots of 'wiffle' and info available - it's a nice community and Daniel is a cool guy!

    Best

  • Declan Burke

    Hi Ali, how's tricks? Many thanks for the invite, I really am much obliged ... and a little bit humbled, to be honest, to know that Ali Karim has taken the time to touch base. You must be the hardest-working man in crime fiction! I'd love to get you over to Crime Always Pays to do a Q&A ... feel free to drop by if you find the time. Cheers, Dec

  • Ali

    You make me Blush Declan - and for a man of colour that takes some doing!

    Sent you a note - fancy a pint in Dublin next week?

    Ali

    Aug 9, 2007

  • Declan Burke

    Ali - just getting this now, I was in town all day ... absolutely, would love to hook up for a pint and a chat. Let me know the days you're in Dublin, and we'll make an arrangement ... looking forward to it. Cheers, Dec
    Btw ... you can get to me quicker at dbrodb(at)gmail.com ...

    PS I was telling Mike at SHOTS that A PERFECT GRAVE has already gone into a 2nd printing and a European publisher is asking about rights. It won't be published in the US until the first week of Sept. This is very nice. Working ahead on the next one, my stand alone thriller.
    That's a long postscript!
