    I spent my first solo vacation on Ocracoke--now I hear it's the number one beach. Darn. Given your chosen material, I wonder if you read Luanne Rice?

    Thanks for the friendship! Blessings--Laura

    Hi Nikki, thanks for the add. I love the Outer Banks of North Carolina - one of my favourite places in the world... so I must check out your books.

    Cape Hatteras ... we used to vacation there, back in the late Seventies, driving down from DC in my dad's old Mustang, or Mum's gigantic station wagon, three times bigger than any car you could buy in the UK. A different world!

    Nice web site. I see you're a beach lover. Ah, the beach in summer, the beach in spring, the beach in fall--not too fond of the beach in winter.

    Thanks for the add, Nikki.
    DH was in the Air Force, so we lived in Virginia for a few years, but we were on the coast, of course.

    I'm glad you're enjoying the Molly books, Nikki.
    If you read the latest, In Dublin's Fair City, you'll find a very different trandatlantic crossing in first class cabin (complete with body, of course!)

    Hi, Nikki,

    Many thanks for the invite - gladly accepted. I love the idea of your taking coastline and lighthouses for settings. I'm doing somewhat the same thing here with a book I'm trying to get published here in France. I don't know your patch of coast - although I'm familiar with the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound and various coastal spots in Oregon and California - but mine is possibly a little different: it's the wild, rugged coastline of Brittany, western France, home to countless legends and lots of real-life adventures.

  • Maxine Schmidt

    Thanks for the invite. My favorite lighthouses are on Lake Superior-- beautiful and remote.

    Jun 13, 2007

  • Marlowe Chandler

    Hi Nikki-

    Thanks for the invite - gratefully accepted. I've been to the Outer Banks a couple of times; they're beautiful. And I love lighthouses. You're my second Crimespace friend. LA Starks beat you. Last I heard, she might be looking for my mind.

    Hi Nikki
    Thanks for inviting me. I'd like to know more about your book promo book. Promo is something I'm lousy at.

  • Dianne Day

    Hi Nikki. It's always good to meet a fellow lighthouse lover! I wrote a mystery with a lighthouse: The Bohemian Murders.

  • Penny Rudolph

    Hey Nikki,
    Very nice to meet you. Sorry to be slow to respond. I've been out of town to be on a panel at the Murder in the Grove Con in Boise and computer access has been iffy. I love the outer banks. I've spent several summer weeks in various years there. I watch nervously every hurricane season. Your books sound very interesting. How did you decide on 1954 for the Cape Hatteras time period?

    Thanks for the invite. What a small world--I live in NC and grew up going to Cape Ann in the summertime. Love Ellen's restaurant in Rockport. Halibut Point, etc.

    Not a lighthouse afficianado, but I do love the ocean.

    Nikki - Please let me know when your new "promotions" book is available. I'm always in the market for that sort of thing.

    You're lucky to have a series set in the Carolinas, with some of the best real "place names" in America: Kill Devil Hills, Hiddenight (?), Galax, etc.

    Thank you for the invite. I appreciate it. I'm on vacation and moving a little slow, but hoefully once I get back, I'll be able to keep things more up to date.

  • david boggis

    I very much share your feelings. A couple of years back - bear in mind that I'm a distinctly mediocre swimmer - I got caught in a current on a local beach and gave myself a real fright before I got back within my depth again. So I used that as a background for a suspicious death in a detective story that - alas - got thumbs down from my UK agent. Never mind, not finished yet - I've part-translated it into French, with a view to finding a publisher here in France!

  • Lee Charles Kelley

    Thanks for the add, Nikki. I've been watching Law & Order since the first season. As a New York resident I love anything filmed in my "backyard." That's what got me interested in the series; the "ka-thunks" and the stories are what have kept me hooked.

    I especially love the Briscoe and Logan years...

    Hi Nikki, thank you for that. I have always loved anything to do with the sea: beaches, waterfront, boats, docks, marinas, lighthouses. We spent our summers at Montauk on L.I. When I was a little girl several centuries ago! I will certainly look out for your books! all the best!

    Thanks for the invite. I'm very interested in your series set in Cape Ann, Massachusetts. My most recent novel, Little Gods, is set in the Berkshires.

  • Camilla Trinchieri

    Hi Nikki-I wish I had awesome promo ideas for you to include in your book. The whole selling part of writing I find difficult an doften humiliating. Who of us hasn't sat in a bookstore with the only one stopping by regaling us with his or her story ideas? Good luck with it. Thanks fo rinvting me to be you friend. Ciao

    Hi Nikki,

    Thanks for the invite. Your story about a skeleton that was found under the Cape Hatteras lighthouse sounds intriguing. Good luck in all you do.

    Hi Nikki,
    I'm on my way to Cape Cod next week to visit a friend. Lovely area. I must say I'm very curious about your Book Promo 101. Can always use help in that area.

  • Michael Allan Mallory

    I haven't been to Cape Ann so I can only imagine how lovely it is. My wife and I will be driving up to Maine to visit my publisher, which is based in Waterville. They throw a party once a year for the author's they've published. Then I drive down to Barnstable to spend a few relaxing days. Living in Minnesota, I don't often get to see the ocean. Although we do have lots of lakes and pine forests up north and---oh yeah, that big chunk of water, Lake Superior. Not quite the same.

    Hi Nikki: My third novel, Blue Heron Marsh, the first of a new series set in the Outer Banks and Albemarle Sound region of northeast North Carolina was just released. My protag lives in a stilt home in the marshes just off the causeway between Nags Head and Manteo. Would love to compare notes. Will get a copy of your book and read it as soon as I have a chance.

    Best, Douglas Quinn

    Val Mcdermid is well worth a read and she's also milling around on this site....somewhere!
    I'm so jealous you met Jeffrey Deaver - his Lincoln Rhyme series is inspired.
    I am working on the debut novel myself (yawn), having now spent years and years reading and being told that i can write, I've decided the time has come to give it a go!
    Would love to hear more about your meet with Jeffrey Deaver, sounds like you lead a really interesting life.

    (Great choice of name by the way)

    If I'm not lurking around on here, you can find me over at Webmums.ning.com, where you are welcome to join us!

    All the best for 2008 Nikki, x
