Profile Information:
- Hometown:
- Ottawa
- About Me:
- I'm a member of the Capital Crime Writers group (www.capitalcrimewriters.com) and the editor for its monthly newsletter -- The Purloined.
I'm also chair of the steering committee for the 2009 Bloody Words mystery conference -- it's Canada's only national mystery conference -- and in 2009 it will be held in Ottawa. Lots of fun to organize, and we are thrilled to have Peter Temple coming from Australia -- have you read The Broken Shore? Wow. And our Canadian Guest of Honour is Louise Penny.
Other than that, I have a Creative Writing certificate from George Brown college in Toronto, and am writing short stories, but trying to work on a novel -- but that may have to be postponed a bit til after Bloody Words!
In August I am heading over to the Edinburgh Writers Festival, then Bouchercon in Baltimore. I am trying to make it to Scene of the Crime in Kingston (well, Wolfe Island) in August as well. - I Am A:
- Reader, Writer, Editor

- Books And Authors I Like:
- Peter Temple, Cormac McCarthy, Elizabeth Hay, Louise Penny, Peter Robinson, Denise Mina, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Elizabeth George, Donna Leon, Giles Blunt, Truman Capote, Raymond Carver, Robert Goddard, -- and many more I can't think of right now -- I loved The House of Sand and Fog.
- Movies And TV Shows I Like:
- The Sopranos TV show. I watch it on DVD as I don't own a TV. For movies I am a huge film festival buff, and I like things like The Black Book, Zelary, okay pretty much anything with subtitles; and pretty much anything by the Coen Brothers -- how about that Blood Simple? And then there are films like Body Heat - it's wonderful. And anything by David Mamet. Other gems -- Sexy Beast, The Limey. There are so many...

I put a copy of The Suicide Diary into the US mail about a week ago. You should be receiving it soon. Please let me know when you do. All the Best.

You have a right to be away. You have a right not to respond to e mails immediately. Good on you for both. Glad the book arrived. Thanks for the interest.
