Lindy Cameron replied to Dave Lolaiy's discussion Crime novels with female killers"Check out Women Who Kill (Five Mile Press) by Lindy Cameron (me) and Ruth Wykes - if you want an insight into women who kill because they want to, because they can, because it's a thrill. New edition has literally just been released."
Lindy Cameron replied to Jacqui Horwood's discussion Winners of the 2010 Davitt Awards"Hmm - not sure whether Alan was meaning that Ned Kelly (the bushranger after whom the awards were named) was always kind to women (back in the late 1800s); or that the Ned Kelly Awards have been 'kind' to women.
The first is amusing; the…"

Lindy Cameron replied to Benjamin Sobieck's discussion What's With All the Ellipses?"BTW - blurbs are the things on the back or jacket flap that tell you what the books is about.
The other-author or review quotes on books are not called blurbs.
Well, not in the real world."

Gaile Hughes said… - Hi Lindy,
I am a beginner writer, first few chapters down, I love that my characters are beginning to go off on their own tangents. I see we have a luv of all things Sci Fi, although I'm not a fan of the original Star Trek. Jack O'Neill is my favourite, although our earth bound NCIS's Jethro Gibbs runs a close second. DeMille's John Sutter really makes me chuckle. Any pointers for new writers please show me the way... cheers and good health Gaile (hmm or is that NCIS')

Brian Kavanagh said… - Hi Lindy. My books are only available on line, as BeWrite only publish that way, being a small press. They are on Amazon etc., but if buying from Australia I suggest the best way is to purchase from The Book Depository in UK. They are really very good and postage is included, yet they are cheaper than Amazon. You can of course ask any bookshop to get them in, but that is expensive. Check out The book Depository, http://www.bookdepository.co.uk
or ask your library to purchase them! :-)
Hint: the City of Yarra has the three books, so you may ask your library to borrow them for you.
Cheers,
Brian

carole gill said… - Proscrastination is my dearest friend! I wallow in it sometimes. Of course I do have a couple of demonic acquaintances, too: Envy and Spite!
They do my head in--! I've just about subdued Proscrastination, but Envy and
Spite do pester me occasionally, along with Writer's B--(but I don't like to think about that)¬
seriously, thanks! and welcome, friend!
I have a few real friends on here--not folks I've met, but people I really liked, I'm sure you're going to be one, Lindy! I can tell.

- Hi Lindy
Good to 'meet' you. I live near Upper Beaconsfield, so not too far away, but I have a daughter in Balnarring and other family at Mount Martha, who would be closer to you on the peninsula.
A friend gave me Scarlet Stiletto, first cut, and I really enjoyed it, so well done. As for Sisters in Crime - I've been to some award nights and I don't know how many times I've sat down to fill in a membership form, but I've never actually completed one - always interrupted and never got back to it (story of my life, really).
Maybe I'll treat myself to a membership for Christmas - I just have to remember.
Cheers
Jackie

of course Australia is the best country!
Just read your comment on the election and I loved it!
Yup, first time in a LONG time I was really proud of the US!
Still flying over the results!
