- About Me:
- Always fascinated by crime fiction, but maybe as my maiden name was S Holmes that was inevitable. Francofile, I wrote about Daniel Pennac's pastiche crime novels for my BA dissertation (very mature student). For my research MA I concentrated on the 'missing' detective in contemporary crime fiction taking the detectives of Didier Daeninckx and Fred Vargas as exemples. Daeninckx killed his off at the end of the eighties, and Vargas continues to delight readers with her quirky Commissaire Adamsberg. Part of British editorial team for a European crime fiction website in 5 languages - europolar.eu. Always looking for interesting articles about European based crime fiction in English.
- I Am A:
- Reader, Writer
- Books And Authors I Like:
- Fred Vargas, Ian Rankin, P D James, some Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine, crime fiction translated into English - too many names to mention, some Frances Fyfield, some Val McDermid. Not too much gore.
- Movies And TV Shows I Like:
- I watch much crime fiction from the cold case reviews to thrillers where the tension is palpable. I even relax watching shows like Midsommer Murders, filmed near where I live, but which are such fantasies on rural life they are funny!

Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival - Harrogate 19-22 July 2007
Next week I will be attending this festival for the first time. It looks exciting with lots of people to listen to and activities in the bar etc. Not sure how easy it will be to meet like-minded people so if anyone else on crimespace is going, please let me know. As a cheapskate (I am after all freelance and paying for myself) I am staying with a friend in Harrogate but will hang around the bar and hopefully encounter crime afficionados. more later...

Or you could just read FOUL SHOT here on my page in pdf, written clearly, too. If you really give a rat's.
The photo of you is great. Good photographer who understands light.
I think unfortunately so many authors are only trying to get where the market forces leads them or perhaps they are seeking to produce a commercially loveable work.
I wish it weren't so.
I've seen my w.i.p. change--alter a little before my eyes. not that I in anyway can even aspire to the heights of other more capable authors!
But in a small way, I'm proud of my very minor sea change--I'm just beginning my final draft now and will see where it goes--
as for you, sue! I so admire your work for better, more socially committed fiction--raising awareness and so on. wow. carry on!
yes, do stop by when you have time.
I know what you mean about this site--it's so easy for me to get distracted and run amok! My favorite thing on here is the Forum, but it can get very time consuming!
anyway, thanks for your note and take care.
all the best!
thank you, Sue.
Just had to personally say hi and to thank you again.
Assuming you're still with us here at the space, welcome. Again, I think.
Please have a free read of my novel, FOUL SHOT, at my site, www.PVT-i.COM, when you have the time.
If you have a problem pulling it up, let me know and I'll help.
Try to enjoy.
Dan
We met at the Literary Art of Murder conference in Newcastle earlier this year - hope you are having a warm and lovely summer.

Beatitudes, has received 5 starred reviews! I am donating all royalties to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation to help rebuild the public libraries. I have posted Chapter I on my blog www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com. Please read and if you like it, help rebuild a library for NOLA. Thank you Lyn LeJeune
The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria. P.S. just posted an excerpt on my page here on crimespace.
