Profile Information

Hometown:: St. Peter, Minnesota, USA

About Me:: I'm addicted to reading mysteries and to talking about them with my pals at 4MA. I published my first mystery (On Edge) in 2002 and my second, In the Wind, in 2008 - not a sequel, but the start of a new series, fingers crossed.

I Am A:: Reader, Writer, Librarian

Website:: http://www.barbarafister.com

Books And Authors I Like:: This is just tooooooo hard. Before I joined the 4MA list I had a short list of favorites. Now it's so long I'd risk carpal tunnel trying to get them all down (and I'd inevitably forget a few).

Movies And TV Shows I Like:: The Wire
Homicide
Brazil

Barbara Fister's Blog

putting away the scissors and paste

I am trying to streamline my life a bit, so instead of trying to occasionally post to my blog here, I'm using the RSS feed gadget on my member page to feed items from my main blog. That means this is the last of me you'll see in the blog feed section of Crimespace's front page. (Hurrah! they all cried.)

Thanks to Daniel for pointing out how to do this in the Crimespace FAQ.

I didn´t know you also wrote crime fiction. I just "Amazoned" On Edge. It sounds really promising though I can be a real chicken when it comes to crime against children :)
Good luck with your new one.

Maybe you've read and know Olen Steinhauer's books but I just finished Victory Square, last in his Eastern European country quarter - read Romania - amazing!
