In Search of an FBI Brain to Pick

Added a reply Apr 13

Oh the heroine definitely knows the Sheriff. He's the ex with whom she has a thick sticky past, a guy whom she's done everything she can the last ten years to avoid--but she's not supposed to reali... Read More »

In Search of an FBI Brain to Pick

Added a reply Apr 12

Yes, I've been all over the FBI website (and I'm pouting because their Citizen's Academy isn't near where I live in my state). I tried emailing our local offices, but I suppose a phone call might g... Read More »

Okay, so I write romantic suspense. I am, as yet, unpublished, so I have absolutely no credentials to throw around on that front when I need to ask procedural questions of various professionals inv... Read More »

Question About Arson Investigation

As I get further into the technical research for this latest work in progress, I'm getting a better handle on exactly how an arson investigation is conducted. But I could use some clarification if anybody happens to know. The hero of this WIP is an arson investigator. I know he'll be the one to go through the remains of the structures that burn and take samples for analysis. Am I correct in thinking that he will then send/take those samples to the lab where somebody ELSE will run all the tests t…

Plot Week

Every summer The Discovery Channel puts on Shark Week. Every summer I am subjected to watching all of it because my hubby is addicted to sharks. He finds them endlessly fascinating. The nut wants to go dive with great whites. You can tell how excited I am about that prospect. Sometimes I’m glad we’re too poor to afford an experience like that. In any event, that’s what comes to mind when I think of theme weeks.

Well I am officially declaring

In the beginning...

...there was a fire from which the hero rescues the heroine. Flash Point is begun. (cheers!) I'm not too far in, as I've only been writing on it for three days and having to research quite a bit to learn about firefighting in general, and I'm about to dive deeper into my arson research. If you care about daily progress you can follow along on my writer's blog here. Anybody know exactly what an EMT would do on site for a 2nd degree burn victim? I…

Help With Crimespace Badge!!

Does anybody know how to make the crimespace badges work on Wordpress, the free one, not the client? I thought I could use a text widget and just paste in the HTML but it isn't working. I'm probably doing something wrong, but am too HTML illiterate to know what! HELP!

Work In Progress

Well, as I've said in my profile, I write romantic suspense. I finished a novel about two weeks ago and so now I'm in research mode on the next while my first draft of House of Cards is with my beta readers. The bad guy for my next book is going to be an arsonist, so I'm researching the psychological profile of serial arsonists, motives for arson, methods, etc. If anybody knows of good sources online or in books, pass them my way!

If you're at all interested in the writing side…

Hi! one of your photos--of a small house looks so much like a building in my photos--which is the old farmhouse that might have inspired Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. It's in a place called Top Withins in West YOrkshire. there's a great internet site about it. thought you'd like to know as you write romantic stuff.

I am scouting on behalf of a major publisher for someone to write a basic book on Astronomy. Please let me know if you have interest in discussing further or if you know anyone who does.

Kathleen,
AMEN! I just want to write. Wish I could afford a publicist. Wish I could afford an agent. WISH an agent would take an interest. It seems like you assuredly have be on the best-seller list before one will take a chance on you.

Kathleen,
Need a new patient? I'm gong bonkers trying to promote my two published novels. Trying to sell "yourself" is a never-ending job. Thanks for being my Crimespace friend.

crimespace badges?
Huh? Has crimespace gone game zone on us? At least they aren't merit badges.

With you on the price of flights! I'd love to visit the US - although when I finally do (because I will), it will likely mean medicating Noel a la BA Baracus! ;-)

Hi Kathleen - I'm on the north east coast up at the top end of England (Durham and Northumberland-ish). Two minutes from the sea, so that's good, and also 3 -3 1/2 hrs from either Edinburgh or Glasgow - result! I actually worked in Embro for a wee while when I was a youngster (19) and if I hadn't just met Noel, my husband, I think I'd have stayed.

I always find it odd that for such a small island, we're so parochial. Did that strike you when you were in Edinburgh? Jools
