Hi, Pari. I am so sorry I have been negligent in telling you how much I appreciated all you did for me during LCC Denver. Thanks for taking me under your wing and showing me the ins and outs of convention life. You were a Godsend.
Unfortunately, quite soon after LCC we received word that Cliff's mother was dying and I went from the highs of Denver back to reality in a flash. Rushed down to say our goodbyes in Shreveport by the next weekend. We returned home last Thursday and she passed away Easter Sunday. While there I came down with the flu and Cliff soon followed. Now he has had to fly back, sick, for the funeral, while I sit here hacking out a lung. Rough several weeks.
Just started at the computer again, so contacting you was my number one thing on my list.
Take care, and thanks again for your friendship.
Deb

Its here! Still at Sleuth waiting for me to get into the city but it is here!! I can't wait.

Sleuth has it on order for me! So now I just have to wait for it to get in. Am really looking forward to it.

Hey Pari! Am trying to get Sleuth to order Socorro for me and they cannot find a mention of it even on the UofNM website publisher page. Any idea when it will be available? I thought it was out about now but JD says that this has nothing yet and usually stuff is there for him to look over three months in advance. I don't know who to nag but you. I could send the kid to kick someone I suppose (just kidding)

I've just finished the Belen Hitch and enjoyed it very much.

Looking forward to reading more

Pari,
Thank you for responding. Is trying to get an agent AFTER publication going at it backwards?

Pari,
Just finished your article in "The 3rd Degree." Very informative. Let me ask you a question. I already have two books in publication. It's a small publishing house, and they don't do much in the way of promotion. I think promotion is the hardest part of being an author. Lotta work. Do you or other agents usually take on (as clients) published authors? I never really entertained the idea of procuring an agent, but with my third novel (which I'm in the process of writing), I thought I might give it a shot. Your thoughts? Ideas?

It pays to be different, though. People will definitely remember you. I'm sure you're proud of your lineage. Have you ever done a family tree? Your's sounds like it'd be very interesting.

Thanks for the invite, Pari. Looking forward to conversing. You have an unusal name. Sounds Russian. It think it's delightful. I love names that are different from the norm. Makes a person stand out. Your profile reads like an in-depth thinker.
