About Me:
I'm a writer with three books so far - ARTISTIC LICENSE, DEADLY BLESSINGS, and DEADLY INTEREST from Five Star. Coming up in January, 2008, STATE OF THE ONION debuts from Berkley Prime Crime.

I also enjoy writing short stories. A couple of them have even won awards.... "Strictly Business" from THESE GUNS FOR HIRE (anthology), "Dissident" from ALL THE RAGE THIS YEAR, and "Life's Work" from STAR TREK, STRANGE NEW WORLDS Volume VII, to name a few...

Happy writing and reading!

    Hi Julie, welcome. I'm envious of your machine gun experience. I've spent a lot of time in Cambodia and southern China where they have firing ranges where you can shoot that sort of thing, but never had much of a chance to actually do so. I'll remedy the oversight one of these days. I like Chicago a lot. My sister is a photographer with the Tribune, so I'm there at least once a year. I'll be there in October on my upcoming book tour - probably the 24th & 25th. Hope to meet you in person one of these days.

    Hi Julie,
    Nice photo. It looks so sunny anyone would think you live in California!
    Still trying to get the library stuff together for a fall bulletin. I've gotten a few responses so far.

    Oh, duh! I just realized (from reading others' Crimespace comments) that it's a good idea to comment on my own space. How fun. Thanks Lesa, Eric, Peg, and Morgan for stopping by! This is such a neat forum. I'm still learning, but it's a fun ride.

    No, I haven't given up on the MWMWA meetings. Forest Park is just a little harder to get to from where I live than the Loop. I'll try to do a little better this fall about making the meetings. See you there...

    I’m doing a local speaking tour here in Michigan and plan to use your work (as an excellent example) for a session on mystery sub-genres. I’m hoping you will give me a one or two sentence quote about sub-genres in general or your particular one, e.g. why it is so popular, where you think it stems from, how you accomplish the tone for it. This will add a personal touch to my mention of your title(s).

    Hi Julie,

    Yep, it's me from the Five Star forum. Looks like you've got a lot going, too. "Artistic License" looks like a book I should check out. One of my favorite classes in college was art history; so the world of paint and canvas and frescos is something that I find very appealilng. And you've got a book coming out from Berley Prime Crime. Very nice! Much success to you.

    Yeah, sometimes I feel like George Wendt, then, uh I don't. Anyway, my horror-scope said I'd better stay away from Indiana in October, so I won't be there. I checked out the lineup though... looks fun... good peeps.
    Have a few things lined up otherwise, Baltimore next month... signed up for LIM too. Also Orland and Joliet, so I'll be around and atriangle.

    Julie,
    I got the house in Florida fixed and let some folks who lost their place stay in mine for a while. See you in February at LIM. Same time same place.
