Welcome! to my little world.

Hometown:: Athens, Greece (although I'll always hold close to my heart the little northern Quebec town where I was born and raised).

About Me:: I work from home as a Consultant in Clinical Research and write on the side.

Finished(ish) the book, decided I hated it (far too soft with characterizations and generally mooshy with some major plot points). Stuck it in a drawer and am now very close to finishing a book that's quite a bit different. Really having fun with it, so...we'll see what happens!

Glad to hear you've heard and enjoyed some of the IFQ shows. It's been a great excuse to chat with some wonderful peeps in the crime fiction community.

Again, welcome & have fun on Crimespace!

I'm doing some polishing and maybe add a scene (someone's suggested a sex scene is required!) and then I'll send it to some agents.
