    Hi Patricia, Good to see another 4MA also. I see you are in Toronto. Do you have a favourite bookstore there? I I like Sleuth of Baker Street. Are there any other mystery books stores in TO?

    Hi, Lillian!

    Aren't we on a couple other lists together? If so, I'm sure I've expressed my sincere hope that as an avid mystery reader you might decide to take a chance with my books. You can read the first chapter of any of them on my website (http://www.doriengrey.net).

    I look forward to learning more abut you here on Crimespace.

    Best,

    Dorien

    No problem, shadowy Lillian. I was born in Nigagra Falls, lived in Lewiston and Grand Island. Have to admit, the Canadian side is the place to visit, though!

    Lillian, I was at Murder And Mayhem two weekends ago and Luara Lippman was an interviewed guest. (star) She is absolutly charming and very funny, if you get a chance to meet her just walk up and say hi, she is that friendly.

    Hi, Lillian. I'm chuffed to bits that you enjoyed THE DEAD PLACE. I have been to Canada a couple of times (in fact, I did a signing at Sleuth of Baker Street one year). And I definitely hope to get back again some time -but I don't just know when that will be at the moment.

    All the best,

    Stephen

    Hi Lillian. I'm glad, as well, to have another Canuck on crime space. I love Sleuth of Baker Street - a great bookstore. Some of the authors of stories in Blood on the Holly are doing a reading tomorrow night, December 18th, at Casa Lomad in Toronto. Wish me luck :}}}

    Thanks, Lillian. I see you live in Niagara Falls. I've just bought a house outside of Picton, in Prince Edward County. My standalone books, Scare the Light Away and Burden of Memory are set in Ontario, around Muskoka, and the series, of which the first book is In the Shadow of the Glacier is set in B.C. Hope you get over your slump soon. (Apoligies if you get this message twice - something seemed to have gone wrong)
