  • Michael Wolf

    Thanks for the friend request. Good to see another 30 Rock fan on the site. Great show - glad it got another season by the suits - Jack Donnegy, that is - at NBC.

    May 1, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    So long as the suits stick around, you mean? I was glad NBC said he couldn't ditch his contract.

    Hi Kate,

    Thanks for the invite. It will be my pleasure to reading your 'stuff' and getting to know you.

    What's a 30 Rock?

  • Laine

    I didn't know you loved moonpies, but if you'd ever had one, how could you not? And if you haven't, then you have such a treat waiting for you. I keep a steady supply on my cyber front porch..right next to the rockers and the ice cold sweet tea and RC Cola! :) Come on by anytime! :)

  • Dennis Leppanen

    Hi Kate,

    I kind of figured that---I had never heard of it. Crime fiction that I'm not aware of, hhhmmm...?

    May 2, 2007

  • Laura Benedict

    My editor just got a little tingle of happiness, and he doesn't even know why!

    May 2, 2007

  • Carol Davis Luce

    Hi Kate, thanks for the invite. I just finished a psychological suspense novel about identical twins, so we have more in common than writing suspense. I can't wait to read HERE SHE LIES. It sounds absolutely compelling.

    May 2, 2007

  • Laine

    Would love to know how someone who lists her hometown as NYC ever got ahold of a Moonpie anyway. Are you a Southerner at heart or at birth? LOL...We try to keep the chocolate ones on hand all the time, the vanilla every now and again, but the butterscotch ones are not real favorites around here--they'll do in a pinch though. Don't know how I'd get thru a week without them.

    May 2, 2007

  • Carol Davis Luce

    I just finished writing a novel about identical twins. titled THE MURDER GENE. The subject is so fascinating. I had as much fun researching it as I had writing it. I believe there are some similarities in both our books.

  • John Achor

    Kate,

    Congratulations on your article in the latest issue of Mystery Scene magazine.

  • Kate Pepper

    Glad you saw the piece in Mystery Scene, John; thanks for mentioning it. Though the subject still makes my heart ache.

    Laine, how did a NYC gal ever taste a moonpie in the first place? Once, during my last office job ever, a long long time ago, a co-worker returned from a business trip with moonpies for all! That's when I got hooked.

  • Elaine Flinn

    Hi, Kate!
    I hit the wrong box when I got your notice! So thanks for the invite and I'd LOVE to be your for a friend. Going to ThrillerFest this year? I'll be in the bar. Naturally.

    May 5, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    Hi Elaine. Yup, I'll be at ThrillerFest. See ya there.

  • Lois Karlin

    Hi Kate...I met you last week at the Edgar Symposium. I sat behind you (hair's a different shade if that throws you) between two friends, all of us newbies. I was intrigued by your description of your books as 'domestic thrillers' - did I get that right? Now that I've bumped into you again and see your titles, I'll go and find one.

    May 6, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    Hi Lois. Nice to 'see' you again! It's always nice to have met someone in person before cyber-meeting, just to keep it feeling real.

    May 7, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    Hope you like it, Petra...

    May 13, 2007

  • Lois Karlin

    Kate, there's a Sisters In Crime discussion going on about genre. I mentioned your novels as 'hitchcock-like'...representing domestic thriller. But what makes them different from 'domestic suspense'...and what are some examples of domestic suspense, if you know them?

    May 21, 2007

  • Maryann Miller

    Thanks for the invite to join your circle of friends. Took me a while to respond, but it has been a BUSY two weeks for me with work, rehearsals for a play I'm in, and rehearsals for a drama workshop I coordinated at the local art center. I need a vacation!! I will check out your books as we are getting low on reading material around here.

    May 22, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    Hi Maryann. Welcome!

    And to Lois, a belated reponse: I think that 'domestic suspense' means, basically, a thriller based on the premise of an extraordinary challenge to someone with an ordinary life.

  • William Simon

    Kate - we met briefly last week at ThrillerFest. Just a note to tell you HERE SHE LIES knocked me out of my chair! Anything remotely related to computer crime gets my attention, but you really spun a web..:) I absolutely loved it!

    Jul 21, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    Hi William. It was nice meeting you last weekend at Thrillerfest! Thanks so much for your kind words about HERE SHE LIES. As I said before, I wish I'd met you while I was researching it...I would have picked your brain.

    Jul 21, 2007

  • Kate Pepper

    Hi Joe, it was very nice to meet you, too!
