Nice to meet you Tom and thanks for the invite! The New Blood Panel was one of my favourites. I took notes in fact and if I get a chance I will put them up :o) And you interviewed Al, Russel and Jools and not me???? Thank f*ck! I am the shy retiring type.

Really good to meet you too Tom. Thought you were very funny on the New Blood panel! Hope you got home OK and that we can meet up again soon!

My Harrogate notes should be up here in blog form within the next couple of days ...

Thanks for this. sorry that I was so disorganised that I cam to Harrogate and had not made a list of crimespace people to meet up with. Ning was down on the day I left and the friend I stayed with didn't have a computer I could use. I really enjoyed it and met some intersting people from all over the world in the various queues to go back into the main room. Also attended the new blood panel at which you spoke though I have not read the book - hardback and too expensive for my meagre budget but I will ask local library to buy it!

I was at the festival in part to write it up for a website I am involved with europolar.eu. So now all I have to do is condense the interesting notes I have into something readable...

Hey, Tom - further to our conversation about black-clad crime writers, I take it the way Christopher Brookmyre was dressed on Saturday night wasn't lost on you? Black kilt and matching t-shirt - worked for me!

Sorry to everyone who messaged me over the past few days - been up in Harrogate at the Crime Writers Festival. Gave our joint publishers kittens by having an argument with Lee Child that began over dinner at our hotel and went on till 1.00 am. Learned a lot about Lee ... and also Jack Reacher. Great times ...

Tom, thanks for the comment and for telling me about Mary Wesley, whom I hadn't heard of. I AM a spring chicken--Mom was going strong till 96 and one aunt still is at 95, including playing tennis and going dancing. Liz

Great news, I'll put it on my lookout like. I'm still trying to figure out who you really are just by your writing. Read the excerpt and was immediately grabbed, so you have another reader across the pond....

Yup - your one is on my list of events to attend - I'm really looking forward to Harrogate. Should be fun!

Hi Tom - I just finished The Accident Man. Really enjoyed it, it's a wild ride. Congratulations, and thanks for a great read!

Beach Volleyball is pretty entertaining if you ever get a chance to watch it, they even used it in an episode of CSI Miami.

I'll look forward to reading your book, finding new authors is something I always look forward to.

Hi Tom - Thanks for the invite, I really appreciate the welcome. Still finding my feet here on Crime Space ... Glad to see you're a Fleming fan, I didn't know it was cool to admit to that again ... I started reading the James Bond stuff when I was about 12, and I've been planning to get back into him again for about two years now ... I love Alistair Maclean's Chandler / Fleming homage, When Eight Bells Toll ... one of my all-time faves, actually, and a big, big influence on my first book ... Anyway, thanks again for the invite, and chat soon. Cheers, Dec

Thanks for your comment about my cover, Tom. I have to say, I was pretty floored when I saw that big old doll face for the first time!

Hi Tom! Thanks for befriending me. With every book, I ask myself--how do you do over again? It's always a daunting process for me.

Is it 500 words or 500 pounds you owe me..? Take your time, sure you're good for it.

Hi Tom!

Thanks for the comment.

I'm sure I could walk you through fixing that porch... I taught my husband how to do dishes, and nothing could be harder than that.

The Duke case was amazing- a fascinating mix of true crime and crime fiction. I was sure that after the hearing the interest in it would die down... and most likely wouldn't have written about it again- but how can I turn down the chance to get a free book? Especially one that was so well written. That's one of the perks of being a blogger :D

Tom - it's nice to know I've got a thing in common with her! Sadly, I never felt that way when I was a teenager, but have hope: by the time they hit about 25 they'll come around.

All is forgiven! It's safe to cross The Pond, now!
