Meredith, I am so impressed that you've landed EQMM multiple times and that your mystery is such a success! Congratulations! Look for me at Bouchercon.
Thank you for your invitation. I'm delighted to meet such a pedigreed author and one who boxes yet. I like the back of beyond described as the "arse end of nowhere" and wonder at the chasteness of EQMM. But more strength to your authorial and pugilistic arm. Cheers, Jim Mitchell
You wrote me four or five years ago on CrimeSpace. I just re-introduced myself to this site. How is the book(s) going. I'm reading the Lee Child "Reacher" series after reading all of the Michael Connelly Bosch stories. Good stuff.
