Jennifer is one of the most charming and cool people I've met on the road ... and I've got the photos to prove it :-) Nice to see you here, Ms. J. All is well in Milwaukee, I trust?

Daniel Hatadi

Jen's here! Glad you could make it. Love the new sexdrugsrocknroll site. Very swish.

Sean Chercover

I'll pay top dollar for those photos, Shane.

Hi Jen!

Milwaukee is in a big thaw and I couldn't be happier about that, Shane. Winter will end and soon my days spend outside will begin.

Sean, Shane's photo's are steeped in innocence. Hard for you to believe, no doubt. I met him at Love is Murder and was in bed by eleven all but one night.

Lord, that was a long night....

Hm, let's see if this works...

Happy Birthday, Gorgeous George!

There he is!

The cutest kitty in the world with the most atrocious manner of communicating his displeasure.

I wonder what I will be up to, December 31st, 2012. On some kind of gluttonous rampage? Praying? On a plane hoping to out fly disaster?

Holy MOG, your favorite books/authors are alphabetized. I think there's a syndrome for that symptom....

Daniel Hatadi

Hey Jen, not sure why it's happened, but you seem to have the same blog post up twice. I think it's a bit of a Ning glitch, but for now would you mind deleting one of them? Cheers,
Daniel

Sean, you're on, buddy! But they are completely innocent.

Jen, you of all people will appreciate the cover of the Turkish edition. It's so wonderfully, er, understated. Here it is:

Well, it would be, if I could figure out how to embed a photo in this thing. Advice, anyone?

Hey! another blue/purple (or blurple, if you will) haired chick! Fab hair aside, anyone who edits an anthology with a name like Fuck Noir is all right with me.

Nice to be befriended by you, you busy woman. Hope to have time to read your work soon.

Dude, me too. And then I looked around and tried to figure out how to set my settings to Central Time. But I couldn't do it.

Maybe we have to move to Australia?

Hmmmmm totally chic colour scheme, well impressed.

You left a lasting impression on me when he drank beer and talked books in Las Vegas sooooooo mannnny years ago.

Look forward to seeing you at B'con Baltimore - this year my only US trip is Thrillerfest NY, so hope you decide to come to NY.

Jennifer Jordan

My author list can never really be complete. I fall in love with new books all the time and find myself hunting down everything I can over hill, over dale....

I'm starting to sing a song, aren't I?

Mar 21, 2007
Jon Jordan

well.....

Shit.

OK

Just dropping by to say "Hi, Jennifer!" What can I say, it's a bar and I've had my evening draught of Kahlua. (I know it's lame, but Scotch just doesn't seem right after 8:00.)

Have a swell Friday!

Jen is drinking a lot of Kombucha green tea and has begun to speak of herself in the third person. And giggling.

So, you're an editor, huh? We LOVE editors! LOL. I'm trying to teach myself to write short stories. I used to do it all the time when I was in college. Wonder why I can't do it now? I keep trying to make them have a neatly tied-up-in-a-bow plot, that's why!

Why thank you for the invite Jennifer. I've just finished reading one of John's books, The Black Angel, so amusing to see the two of you cutting loose in your photo section. New to the site and looking forward to getting amongst it.

Declan Burke

Like, ohmigod, etc. THE Jennifer Jordan? No way ... I had a post on my blog about you a month or two back, about F**k Noir (are we allowed swear on Crime Space?) ... I commend you, madam. It's due out later this year, right? Come on over to Crime Always Pays and do a Q&A to plug it, yeah? Or just to say hi, whatever ... thanks for the invite, much appreciated. Cheers, Dec
PS - you've got THREE Burkes in your faves list, and I STILL didn't make the cut? I may never recover ...

Hey Jen...I remember when this was first taking shape...wow and now you have an ARC...congrats!

Jennifer Jordan

Patricia, oh she of the ability to stay awake in the bar far after Jen has gone to bed, no one is more surprised than me that that book is now in existence. Well, except Neil Smith. That lovely hunk of man flesh!

You have more authors listed than I've read in the last ten years. How did you miss Cormac McCarthy?

Hi Jennifer
Now I know where to go when I need to find a new crime author. And it's alphabetized. I love editors.
