"Reach for the stars. Even if you fail, you will have climbed to a great height." -- Newton Love Sr (my dad)
I have packed at least three lifetimes into the one I now am living. What haven't I done? The list is short, and getting shorter! Most people who hear my life story tell me "Bullshit! Nobody can have done all that!" It's all true, except the culturally required embellishments. read my bio. (Sorry, temporarily on the bounce...)

Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Do Android Sheep Dream?, Blade Runner, Princess Bride, Casablanca, Dead On Arrival (1950s Edmund O'Brien), Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Time Bandits, Brazil, ...

picked up by a European publisher

I;d wondered if I;d ever get an agent, but now I;m beginning to wonder what one of those would do for me that I don;t already do for myself.

I just agreed to -- signed paperwork to follow -- sell the French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese versions of How the Strong Survive to a European publisher.

Quatre-Vingt-Quinze Pour Cent
A humorous translation from French to English

In 2001, my friend Delphine sent me the lyrics to a French song about the hard time men have in pleasing women. I decided to "translate" it into English using a method that tried for humor over accuracy.

Congratulations on your foreign sales! Who's the publisher? Film rights too. Very exciting.
I'm about done with agents too. All they've done for me is get my hopes up and slow me down.

So it has! We are taking a break from infesting traffic signs, and are thinking through our new host target. It could be anything.

Thanks, Newt. I agree. Where would we writers be without readers? And if not for us to gear our writing towards the readers, then shame on us. =] Good luck on novel number 4!

I'm not a St. Louisan, my DH is--I'm from the Ozarks--but we both live in Wisconsin now. I've had friends do signings at a bookstore in the CWE--I'm guessing the same one.
You don't have a picture of your cover on your page--who is your publisher? I'll check it out--my FIL is a mystery reader and lives in St. Louis.

The traffic signs are out there! You know in this technological age it is possible that I can be both one and many, and indeed every time you see a traffic sign don't you wonder? What is it thinking, can it see inside? And with my Italian links, I think the conclusion is forgone. Al Capone, schmone.

Wow, that was a hard comment to follow before my morning coffee. :)
In addition to free thinking, crime novels are the only place I can kill people and still go free, too.
gotta love that.
