Thanks for the friend invite. Always great to meet authors! As for your question regarding Murder in the Grove, as I understand it there is something in the works though it has been on hiatus for a while. The best bet is to check the website, www.murderinthegrove.com. I'm no longer involved in the planning in any way, so that's the best information I've got. Best of luck with all your writing endeavours!
Hello and welcome! I just wanted to introduce myself, and my blog, The Book Buff: Book Reviews for Regular People. Check it out at http://www.thebookbuff.blogspot.com
CrimeSpace can be a bit overwhelming at first, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Hi Jim,
I've was a mystery reviewer for January Magazine for a number of years, but switched over to the science fiction genre a few years ago (my partner is an SF bookseller). The science fiction community has a ton of writers workshops, writing groups, conventions, etc.; all I remember from the mystery field was Left Coast Crime. I was wondering if some more local events/workshops/groups for mystery writers were going on.

Hi, nice to meet a neighbor. Good luck with your transition. Let me know how I can help.
Your background with the WA State Clemency and Pardons board must yield some really fascinating stories. I don't suppose you happen to know anything about meth from your days as a crime writer? Have a short story going where I poison someone with ground up crystal meth and I don't actually know what it looks like, whether it would dissolve well, etc.
Hey Jim - Thanks so much for adding me as a friend. Your stuff sounds great - I just started getting my worked critiqued and I guess in the process of rewriting. Not close to publication yet. How about you?
I'm looking forward to hearing how you do with publishing the first book! Sounds like you are more tuned in to area crime writing than I am at the moment -- please shoot me a line if there's something in Seattle you think I should check out.
Cheers,
Karen
