My nephews Lee and Tod Goldberg also write books, so they must be on the list.

Peter Christ, Founder of LEAP, LIVE this Saturday 2pm PST

Peter Christ retired as a police captain after a 20-year career enforcing drug laws. From the beginning, Peter believed "the drug war can never be won and it is doing more harm than good."

Peter Chris of LEAP was far more amusing than I ever imagined. You really should hear this guy..in fact, if you are already here, you are hearing him on my show right now. The videos of Peter on YouTube are also excellent.

FRED ROSEN! I met Fred in Philly at BCon back in 1996 when his book Lobster Boy was a hot item. Now days, the diadem of success has crowned all his efforts in both contemporary and historical true crime. Fred graciously consented to put up with my nonsense and Don Woldman's pithy questions and commentary when he joined us on the air Saturday the 13th ...that's the show you hear playing right now on my CrimeSpace player.
Not only is fred an excellent author, he is a super guy. If you must choose between buying Fred's books or my books, buy mine. Friendly generosity only goes so far, and we both need to make a living. Okay, buy both.

Hi Burl,
Thanks for befriending me here on Crimespace. I'm always interested in seeing what other mystery/suspense authors have to say about the promotion side of the business.

Okay...ignore my request to be a friend. I think you sent one first and I clicked the wrong button in response.
Etherspace is hell, like a constant party but no alcohol to smooth over stupid blunders. (Or at least make you forget them.)
So...I'm impressed. An Edgar. Woohoo.
I'm a newbie with a long way to crawl.

wow. You won an Edgar? And you want me to be your friend? WooHoo!
