Welcome aboard! I've been introduced to several SOHO writers on Crimespace - I'm going to need to make time for reading.

I forgot-I have done some still lifes, but now am into abstract. Ciao C.

Hi- I just went to Partners and crimne (I live on 9th and Fifth) and bought your book. Steve, the manager there said it's a gtreat one and he hopes there will be more. I look forward to reading it. I was afraid I'd find italian mistakes after I read the one on the bacjk written by Cara Black. For your neeext book feel free to vet the Italian with me. I'll be gald to help.I'm off to Rome on the 11th of September and will be back at the end of the month. Have a great time in Maine and we'll get togetherin the fall. Goodluck on the next one-I bet Laura is going to love it. let me know. Ciao camilla

Yep, we made a road trip out of it, from Los Angeles to Bouchercon in Madison. We called it the Disoriented Express and stopped off at a bunch of bookstores along the way to put on PowerPoint presentations with Asian pop music. Touring with someone is a lot more fun than just touring by yourself.

It's great to make so many friends in one evening. Thank you all for wishing me well, and I send the same wishes back to you.

Welcome. I'm a writer - about Asia - but not Soho. I did go on a book tour last year with one of your fellow Soho-ites: Colin Cotterill. We're good pals. He's in here somewhere too.

Umbira, Italy? Oh how wonderful...been to Florence, Milan, Rome and stops along the way, but not Umbria. Now a series to get me started for my next trip. 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.

Ciao amica. I read your comment before reading that you wanted to be a friend. We do have a lot in common. Your husband is a painter. I paint too-have a studio in Brooklyn. I even sold some so I guess I can call myself an artist although I feel pretentious when I do. Would love to met you in person. Let me read il Commissario first. Ciao camilla

Soho and New York aren't the only ting we have in common. I'm Italian (from Rome) and can't wait to read Commissario Cenni. I love Umbria and want to start at the beginning. What is the first title? Ciao, Camilla

Hi Grace - any SOHO writer is a friend of mine - they are one of my favourite publishers (along with our own local Text and Bitter Lemon of course :) )

I havn't been to Italy is ten years...The most beautiful country in my travels.
