    That is one bad-ass avatar. Welcome to Crimespace.

    You look very much like a character in my latest novel, Sharpshooter, who could have stumbled right off the range in present day Montana. It created a weird, uncanny resonance when I saw your author photo.

    I actually wrote a novel once, genre impossible to specify, where a software writer/novelist creates a word processing program where everything he writes then develops, but -- ironically and yet appropriately -- gets out of control. So in answer to your question, maybe.

    Yeah, this thing is cool!

    Ah yes, the Sunshine Province. We could use some of that sunshine right about now!

    Your instincts on Badalamenti were correct. The music is Julee Cruise singing a Badalamenti tune.

    Read your post about this on the AHMM forum. Like you, I'm leery of Myspace because I see myself ending up listed as a dirty old man and potential predator. If I get it figured out, this may be a great place.

    I'd like to see an easy to use forum for those who write and read mysteries. Something like a lady in the UK started and calls Published Authors. I don't know how she did it and I'm too old a dog to learn many new tricks. Until I left the previous message I didn't realize I had signed up here earlier.

    Leigh, this stuff snows me under but Shelagh Watkins, who started the forum, says to get on it go to http://publishedauthors.org/ and to set up a forum the address is http://forumotion.com
    Those addresses seem to work. She also invited you to join her site. Hope this helps.

    thank you for your Paris comment. I wish I could live there!

    thanks so much. Leigh! You really made my day! it was a labor of love!

    Yes, Jim Quayle's wife was (or is) a Pulliam, the family that owned papers in Indianapolis, Muncie, and Huntington in Indiana and the paper in Phoenix. Dan was a lightweight. I still break out in a cold sweat whenever I recall that for four years he was a single heartbeat away from being president.

    Oh Leigh! NEW BESTEST FRIEND, LEIGH! Thanks for that. It is busting to come out!. It's escapist really, before I start writing I go and soak up all of my time capsule stuff and I'm back in another time! I'm Veronica Lake flirting with Alan Ladd--or Stanwyck, planning on "making a killing" in the insurance biz!
    I shut out giant tv screens and cell phones and all the noise of now--and dive into neon cities with big band music and jazzy cocktail lounges--I stroll arm in arm with my escort--wearing my ankle strap shoes and a gardenia in my hair, and it's not 2008! (My Mother always told me I was born much too late)!

  • carole gill

    Thanks! It's smokin' alright! That makes two of us--although I supposedly "stopped."

    May 27, 2008

  • carole gill

    no, I never heard of it. God knows what I was busy with then--I wish I had seen it though.
    I would have loved it you're right.
    Thanks, Leigh. Maybe I'll be lucky and they'll show it sometime.
    I just noticed you specified Old Hitchcock--I agree with you, it's earlier films were the best I think.

  • carole gill

    put more music up!
    finally (after a year, figured out how to do it)!
    the first song is my chosen soundtrack for the film adaptation of my novel! delusions of grandeur? oops, better watch it!

    I was sure that was Cab Calloway!

    Jun 27, 2008

  • carole gill

    nope, love Cab Calloway, Minnie the Moocher especially, don't think I put that up yet, but I will.
    No it's old Artie. So moody and cool, don't you think?!

    Jun 27, 2008

  • carole gill

    I do have Minnie the Moocher, it's at the bottom.
    I had the pleasure of seeing Cab C. in the Broadway version of Hello Dolly with Pearl Bailey.
    also saw it with Channing but Cab and Pearl were better!

  • carole gill

    yes, that's right! in fact there's a video of him in one of those on the internet. so cute!
    my father thought he was terrific, he'd probably have been a zoot suiter altogether but they made him wear his Army Air Force uniform! my Dad was cool, really!
    loved bluesy jazz and stuff like that.
