Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the link to Ian's article. I had read some of it before, but had a look at it again. Makes for some great advice. Also make me realise how fortunate I am to have made it this far. Thanks again for the link and good luck with your editing.

Hi Geoff,

It looks like we'll be going for an August release next year for Interrogated. Definately can't wait to walk into the local bookshop and see it on the shelf. I'm also relatively new to the business and was fortunate enough to get picked up fairly quickly. Still lots to learn.

I'm guessing we'll be bumping into each other from time to time. Look forward to it. Thanks again.

Now this is an interesting space....
I can see you love your work, Geoff!
Hats off!

I've been in Oregon for 14 years now, after 20 in Southern California, and I love it. Even sitting here looking out a a mixture of fog and rain, I love it. Here in Eugene we get 5 months of spring, my favourite season. We're 80 miles from miles of deserted beaches (OK, so you need a wetsuit) and 80 miles from the mountains, and in spite of the abominable clear-cutting, there's forest everywhere. We get top classical artists visiting (eg Yoyo Ma) yet it takes only ten minutes to get home from a symphony concert, 15 from a univ. concert. 20 minutes from the city centre you can buy your produce direct from the farm. I grow apples cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries strawberries rhubarb redcurrants blackcurrants, plums---well, I could go on rhapsodising forever. Next time you come to the US, visit the beautiful Northwest!

Hi Geoff,

I can almost see you walking through those dank, fog shrouded streets. As yousay, the Ripper stillholds a fascination for so many people around the world, mostly I think because he is stil unidentified. Glad you anjoyed the video trailer, and look forward to hearing from you again.

Best regards

Brian

Hi, Geoff,
I just saw your comment on LJ Sellers page--she's more or less a neighbour of mine in Eugene and we sat next to each other at the last local authors fair.

I had some help with dialogue from very kind Aussies when I wrote Gunpowder Plot, which has two Australian characters.

I very much enjoy Arthur Upfield's Boney books, but I understand Aussies have mixed feelings about them. What's your opinion?

I'm a non-Aussie with quite a few publishing credits in Australia to my name. Great trailer Geoff! See mine on my page if you have a minute or two to spare

Regards

Brian

First: Are non-Aussie's allowed to post here?
Second: In response to your blog: Geoffrey definitely has a more literary ring. But Geoff doesn't scare me away. Not like Ry Cooder the accountant.

Hi Geoff
Loved your author-to-author entry - obviously, seeing I was the other author.
It was great to meet you and your gorgeous partner.
Really wish I got the Didge player to take a photo of us all.
I have, however, uploaded a couple of pics from our Sydney trip onto my page - including the hijacked LNG tanker, I mean giant car carrier hanging around Fort Denison.
I really really enjoyed Sensitive New Age Spy but - while I was reading it that week in Sydney - I kept expecting at every corner we turned, to bump into Alby or some of the action that was going on in the book. Sign of a good writer when your reader gets your story confused with real life.
We will be chatting with a few of the Sisters in Crime tomorrow night about 'our' grand idea for promotion...Stay tuned.
cheers

Thanks for your note, Geoff. Are you coming to New York for Thrillerfest? Meredith

Geoff,
Thanks for the great site! It's affirmation of everything I've learned over the last six years. A little depressing, but it helps to know what one is up against and know that others face the same precipice!

Oh Man,
now I'm going to have to get FF&F - just for the fun of it.
Have started SNAS; already laughing myself silly. But
now saving it for my holiday in Sydney next week.

Hi Geoff,
Indonesia truly is one of my favorite places on the planet. I haven't been for about four years, it's about time I got back there. The next book in my series - out in the fall - is set in Indonesia.

Stiff competition that Pandacam - I'm not sure we can compete over here.... we can but try [vbeg]

Hello Geoff - lovely to see you here. It's great to see the fabulous Aussie contingent signing up!

Just wanted to say I loved D.E.D. and can't wait to read the sequel.

Glad to see another Aussie author join up, Geoff. Welcome aboard!
