Love the plot line of the book. It is refreshing to hear a plot line with out vampires in it, or are there?

I love the idea of showing the spiritual side of characters! The sequel to The Twelfth Step is set in an Armageddon style cult.

Hi Donna,
NIce to meet you. My co-writer, Joe Moore, and I write "spiritual" thrillers mixing cutting edge science with religion. I see you had a Christian counseling practice. Sounds interesting.

Thanks for friending me.
Nury, I think it is only the public's perception of crime writers as walking on the dark side.
I've met Lisa Gardner and Tess Gerritsen and you wouldn't look twice at them in the grocery store. No evil vibes coming off either of them.

Hi, Donna,

Greetings from a Brit living in France who knows (a bit) and loves (a lot) the US. Currently struggling with a French translation of a mystery story I completed last year, tying in a mysterious death on today's Breton coast with Resistance skulduggery in 1944.

Thank you Donna for inviting me. Good luck for your book ! Greetings from Paris, France.

Hi Donna, good luck with The Twelfth Step & the sequel.
Cheers,
Brian

Thanks for your invitation Donna. Good luck with your writing.

Thanks for the invite, Donna. Congratulations on the book and good luck with the sequel!

Thanks for the invitation, Donna. I'm also a crime novelist and a Christian - it's kind of an odd mix, isn't it? Crime writers are assumed to walk on the dark side, whereas Christians tend to be light, upbeat folk who focus on the positive.

However, I find that the two sides are not as irreconcilable as people thing. I think in the big picture, all crime stories have the same plot: chaos intrudes into the world, and a protagonist has to chase it out. To me, that's a very positive story...

Hi Donna, Good to be a friend. One of the great things about belonging to crime writing communities is how people who ought to be competitors are always generous with help, encouragement and all the rest. Good luck with the agent and the works (completed and in progress).

hanks Donna for the invite. Hope to get to know you better

Hi Donna!

Thanks for the invitation, and good luck with you book. I hope you find a publisher soon.

Thanks for the invite.
Hi from France!

Hi Donna... another House and American Idol fan! (No shame in the latter, honestly). The Twelfth Step is such a brilliant title - hope to read it someday. Thanks for friending me.

Hi, Donna. Thanks for inviting me to hang out with you on crimespace!

I used to live in Madison WI. Loved it. The northern part of WI is especially beautiful!! Thanks for the request and best wishes on your writer's journey.

Thenk for friending me. I can't decided what pic I want so I ended up with this.
Good luck with the agent.

Donna, I'm no where near Wisconsin, but I appreciate the friend invitation. ~~Sarah
