Reviews
I'm not ashamed to admit it: I read my reviews. And I'm profoundly relieved when people say they liked my book. Yesterday's New York Times features a review of POWER PLAY by Janet Maslin,
one of the nation's most admired (and feared) book critics. To my joy
(and relief), she liked it! Read all about it here:
For what it's worth, I like POWER PLAY's cover a lot...

I do hope you get a chance to visit The Graveyard Shift. I think you'll find the information about police, forensics, and crime scene investigation fun and useful.

which one I should start with? Which one is a good entry into your "work" (right word for "all your books"??)
regards from Switzerland, Jan
I am planing to attend my first writers conference this upcoming Presidents Day weekend. It's in San diego at the 22nd Annual Souther California Witers Conference.
I hope to have a project ready by then to be critiqued and reviewd by agents/editors. Since I am a novice I am still aprehensive.
I just received the registration information and wondered if you might me attending in any capcity? Would be great to meet you and have you sign one of your books. If not maybe I'll catch up with you at another convention.
Just wanted to say I enjoyed hearing you speak at Crime Bake this year. What a great conference.
I picked up a copy of the Company Man the other day and haven't hardly put it down.
I see some similarity in how quickly you brought your characters into the story in the first chapter kind of the same way I do. Although I have had critiques that said I brought in to many to fast I felt it was important to the story. I enjoy how succinct you are with these characters yet we can get a clear picture of them.
I can't wait to finish the book. Hope you had a great thanksgiving.
Michael
I'll have to make a point of pick up a couple of those books so I can see what you got. Have you read anything from Sheldon Siegel? He's kind of been a mentor and got me serious about my writing.
I use my prior life as a cop for most of my materials. My goal for 2008 is to have my first novel ready to go to an agent so we'll see. I have a couple of short stories publlished, one is a true story from my days as a federal police sergeant and the other is a short fiction.
Thanks for listening and I'll hit B&N this week.
Regards, Michael
