    Dear Jack. Thank you for the invitation. I am looking forward to the publication of your future novels. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading Schussel's Woman (A book that I believe should be required reading for students of writing) and of course St. Hubert's Stag (that takes me nostalgically back to younger days). Thanks

    Thanks for the invite, Jack. I don't get over to CrimeSpace as often as I probably should. Your invite was a good reminder to stop by!

    Yep, we're everywhere. Sooner or later Pennwriters will take over the universe. :-)

    Hi, J.R. I'm not from PA but I did signings a few weeks ago at Mechanicsburg and Camp Hill. I have a son and grandson in New Cumberland. I'm a former newspaperman, too. Thanks for the invitation.

    Right, son Steve has worked at the Camp Hill office of EDS for several years now. As a result, I've done signings around there for each of my four books.

    I'll have to look into your series -- fun to read about an area that I'm (vaguely) familiar with.

    JR,

    I watched Memories of a Murder, Bong Joo-ho's Korean crime film.

    Awkward, but deep and dark.  Thanks for putting me onto it.

    Not to pry, but what were you doing in Korea?  I was being an

    18 year old soldier (dopey kid), but it was wild.

    That's great.  You had the smarts to get onto a real job and stay in-country.  They shipped me out for Ft Sill and I volunteered for Vietnam to get out of Okalhoma.

    JR, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. New book published and my time has been taken up with that.

     Good to meet up!

    Congrats on being a PIO.  That's what I wanted to be. They woudn't do it. I was just eighteen, maybe too young, but for whatever reason, they talked me into being a personnel clerk--which was real real boring. When I got to Vietnam I was assigned as a Casualty Reporter with the 25th Inf. Div.  I liked the job.  I worked at night.
