Books And Authors I Like:

Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Harlan Coben, Sue Grafton, Laura Lippman. I'm sure they really need my free publicity. I'm also very fond of other writers with the last name Burke.

Movies And TV Shows I Like:

I'm very into TV these days: 30 Rock, Dexter, Weeds, The Office, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls (though, yes, they finally jumped the shark), Buffy, Seinfeld, The Shield, Sopranos, Arrested Development, Lost, Flipping Out, Project Runway, Top Chef, Gossip Girl. (Yes, I know half those shows are off the air. Doesn't matter.)

  For the record, Philip is now reading my (very different) post-Katrina New Orleans novel. Read Jim's Tin Roof Blowdown and liked it, but its subject matter is rather different: mine's a political/terrorism thriller with a feisty female protagonist.

  Hi, Alafair,
  Although not encouraged by Philip, neither was I discouraged to contact you re; a new novel. My latest was in fact blurbed by Senator John Kerry while running for president, so I don't think this a reach. My latest, Triple Jeopary, is a satiric caper edgier than Carl Hiassen. If your interested in a review copy I can send one along. All the Best,
