About Me:
I have been a non-fiction writer for many years, but turned to novel writing in 2001. My frist mystery, Jilted By Death was published in 2004 by Silver Dagger Mysteries. A non-fiction book on writing came out in 2005 and a second novel, Duo of Opposites came out last year. I am now in the process of shopping around a crime novel.

Books And Authors I Like:
The author who first interested me in writing a mystery was Mary Higgins Clark, but I have been reading a lot of lesser known authors. My favorites change from time to time, but recently I've read wonderful books by Helen Goodman, p.m., terrell, Terry Hoover and Sharon Wildwind.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
All series of Law & Order, Without a Trace, Jericho, and when I'm not in the mood for mystery I watch Deal or No-Deal or Desperate Housewifes. Most of the movies I see are with my 10 year old grandson. Lately it has been: Cars, Over the Hedge, Chicken Little, etc. I do plan to see Hog Wild because there is a motorcycle rider in my last book and I've been signing books at Harley Davidson Shops.

    Thanks, Lynette. Yes, all seems well so far, if horribly slow. I have a book coming out in July and am pinning all my hopes on it. My historical thriller apparently did not sell -- possibly because it was offered to romance publishers. A big disappointment, but one must move on. So good to hear from you, and I hope all is well with you also.

    You wrote, "I don't come here often..." Me either; the habit's slow to form because at first visiting here wasn't worth the price in exhausted patience, but it seems to be working now, so we'll see. Of cours, that's what I said about a year ago. You also wrote, "... I do re-read my novels ocasionally..." Curiously enough, I seem to have quit reading my own. Part of sort of getting tired of modern mystery, which contains too few puzzles for my narrow tastes. Kay and I have a book of short stories out now, but don't expect your bookstore to stock it (either) unless you nag them about it. Happy October, Byron
