Any signings planned in Portland, OR? Got your latest yesterday.

Nice to be missed, Linda, thanks!

Hi, Dana. Come on down to Los Angeles -- we miss you at The Mystery Bookstore! Linda

Thanks, Lillian, always nice to hear.

Dana

I have enjoyed all of your books particularly the Kate Shuglak series and the stand-alones

Lillian

I'll check it out immediately, thanks, Hailey! Delighted you had a great time. Me, too, believe it or not. There is great satisfaction in making the trains run on time for that many people. But I'm done now.

Hi Dana! Thanks for the great time at Bouchercon. Did you check out my blog, www.artloversmysteries.blogspot.com? I posted a whole bunch of pictures from my time in Hooper Bay with the Authors in the Schools program. Amazing!

Dana:

Great meeting you last week at B-Con. It was a wonderful time...and you even managed to arrange for mystery and intrigue outside the hotel!

Thanks for all your hard work!

Dana - congratulations on your award! That's great news. And while I'm here I just want to thank you for the opportunity to participate in Authors To The Schools. I am having a wonderful time and have so many lovely memories to take home with me - as well as pictures and stories from the children, and gifts from everywhere I've been. When are you doing it again?!?!

Thanks, Peg. Nevada is always great, and so are Val McDermid and Laurie King, who were also on that panel. Easy to look smart and funny with them along.

I enjoy your work and especially enjoyed a panel you shared with Nevada Barr at last year's Bouchercon (I think). Great (sassy) role models for aspiring writers who happen to be women.

Big fan, thanks for bringing Alaska to my livingroom.

Hey! If a author writes a novel in the forest, and nobody reads it, did it make a sound?
I'm newt, slithering from the shallow end of the gene pool, into the open ocean. Sharks are likely to eat me before the salt water kills me, but who wants a quiet life?

Just heard--we're going to have a Coast Guard rescue swimmer at Bouchercon, 9am Saturday. Imagine how many ways there are to kill somebody doing that job.

Hi Dana:

So looking forward to Bouchecon, and to meeting you.

Thanks so much.

Best,
Ken

Hi, Dana--just wanted to say thanks for all the incredible work you and the team are doing for Bouchercon!

Karen's photos are absolutely incredible--and you have the coolest house I've ever seen! ;) (Plus, you're from a town called Homer that predates the Simpsons. That makes me happy!) ;)

I'm so looking forward to meeting you in Alaska!

Best,

Kelli

Hi, all! Not a lot of time in my life right now for blogging anywhere but on my own website, but thank you all for the warm welcome. It's a great site.

Dana,
What a wonderful, mind-blowing opener it might be, at some writer's conference, to open with, "My mother never imagined I would have become a cover girl, but that's what eventually happened" )referring to the Mystery Scene magazine (in which the ad for my novel, Little Gods, also appears).
Best Regards,

David

Dana, you are on the sexy list. Congrats!
