Welcome to an avid reader.
Librarians are among my favorite people.

What is your library and who sets up events? I don't have any plans, but would love to finally see the "mother ship" of my publisher, Poisoned Pen.

Hope this finds you well. - Clea

Greetings from Brazil. I've been following your posts to Dorothy L and, since I'll be in Scottsdale in January (signing at Poisoned Pen) I decided to offer to speak at your library. Sarah Reidy, the publicist at Soho Press was going to try to set it up. I. Hope we can work it out.
All the Best,
Leighton

At 10:20am on September 15, 2007, James Roberts said…: While Janet Evanovich has humor, you *got* to admit that a lot of characters, well, die, in her books. But I admit being drawn more to the noir section of the genre.

Good to hear from a Ft. myers resident from so far away. Small world! I attend those library functions at the readingfestival in Ft. Myers every March, and sell my books. It is a lot of work, but it is fun. I take my hat off to the people setting it up.

At 6:52am on August 16, 2007, Cyndi Martin said…: Thank you for adding me! I'm glad I looked at your profile. Now I have to read Agnes And The Hitman! Sounds like it's right up my alley.

At 9:23am on August 14, 2007, Lyn LeJeune said…: Librarians have a free pass into heaven. My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
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 Crimespace page. I AM STARTING MY TOUR TO BOOK CLUBS IN FLORIDA THIS FALL... WILL BE AT THE ST. PETERSBURG BOOK FESTIVAL OCTOBER 26. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED LET ME KNOW - lynlejeune@cox.net and I will send you the book tour information...it involves reading, cooking Cajun food, and talk about me and libraires!

Thanks for the invite, and thanks for stopping by the blog. It's nice to know you on DL and here now, too!

At 11:45pm on July 22, 2007, Ken Isaacson said…: Lesa...great to be your friend!

At 7:00am on July 2, 2007, Vicki Delany said…: Thanks. I'm looking forward to being part of this. It looks like a lot of fun.

At 6:33am on June 19, 2007, Chris Roerden said…: The Agatha win is true! Thank you Lesa. I loved your review. Perhaps you could let your readers know that I'm looking to review good examples for the next all-genre edition of that winning book, called DON'T SABOTAGE YOUR SUBMISSIONS.

I do love planning our author series, meeting the authors, running our book group and the readers advisory!

We are planning our first FESTIVAL OF THE BOOK for September--so my summer is really starting to heat up! Also, having a HP book release party, teen summer reading--it never stops. This summer is definitely busy--so my time on CS may slow down a bit.

I have to have time to simply READ--or I'll go nuts! Thanks for the invite.

Wish I had been there to meet Lee Child! My husband and I read everything he writes. I have been at a book discussion group where Michael Connelly spoke (along with Stephen Hunter and George Pelocanos). I really enjoyed him. It was so crowded, though that I couldn't get a chance to meet him or have him sign a book. :(

Thanks for accepting. Yeah, you're right, not a fish out of water. More like an amphibian. (heh)
See you around,

Norm
