    Welcome aboard, Liam. Cool authors list, nice to see Declan Burke on there, he's going to be big in the US this fall.

    Liam - You have the dubious honour of being the first CrimeSpace person to list me as an author you like - if you're on drugs, I want some of them; if you're not, you should maybe consider it. Much obliged, sir ... and I love the short story. From it I get the impression you'd be a big fan of yon McFetridge ... Anything happening with you novel-wise? Drop me a line at dbrodb(at)gmail.com and we'll chat ... Cheers, Dec

    Thanks for adding me to you list of friends. I'm right down the road from you in Hilton Head. Great list of authors. Some great crime fiction coming out of the emerald isle. Have you read Declan Hughes, Gene Kerrigan, or Brian McGilloway? Wonderful stuff. Hoist a pint for me up in Charleston. Take care.

    Liam,
    I read your chapter. Interesting stuff. Did he rat her out? He's a Southie boy eh? Nice combo, a mick from Southie and an inscrutable chink assasin. My family's from Charlestown. We used to brawl with the kids from Southie all the time. Crazy drunk kids with shamrock tats and serious attitude problems. My great uncle was the mayor of Boston back in the 30's. If it wasn't for family connections I'd be doing a two years in Billerica. Both our towns are named for King Charles II, a known hater of the Irish. I hope you're working on your book and it's coming along well. Just watched a film called 'In Bruges', great flick. Good luck.

    Many top agents do not respond to e mail except by specific request. Also Philip is old school, so for him paper is preferable and easier to read (old eyes tire easily). Hope this helps.

    I had one of the best agents in LA for a year, two deals fell through in the last stages and, in my opinion, he lost interest in me. So I repped myself and found a multi-book contract at a publisher he could have tried but didn't. So I saved myself 15%. Draw yoour own conclusions.

    Liam, I don't have an agent yet. I went the small press route instead, where agents aren't always required. I met with a couple of agents, but none liked my style.

    Having said that, though, the agents were quite open to query letters and had plenty of ideas as to how I could make my stuff more "commercial." Often I think I should have listened to them.

    Good luck, your stuff is definitely good enough.
