For what it's worth?
It's worth a heck of a lot.
We newbies need all the encouragement we can get.
I truly appreciate your kind words.
Best Regards,
Leighton

She's such a cute petite little thing -although she probably hates being called that. And Charlie Huston is a common sight at our store - love him!

Normal service will be resumed as soon as I get my head out of my fundament ... re: Quinn - really glad you liked it, and I can't understand why Seamus Smyth wasn't a big success in the US with it ... Cheers, Dec

Thanks for dropping by my space ... glad you liked Quinn, it's not everyone's cup of tea but I think the narrative voice is so strong it grips you within a few pages.

I see we have Bruen, Pelecanos, Starr and McKinty in common, bookshelves-wise ... I'm reading The Dead Yard at the moment, just started last night ... I think the guy's a powerful writer, with a rare touch of authenticity. As a reader, I love him ... as a wannabe writer, I hate him. Which is a compliment of sorts ...

Thanks again for dropping by and making me feel welcome, I really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Dec

I received your message and tried to respond, but it keeps bouncing back to me. Got an alternate email address?

Best-

Brian

The mouse morphed into Sam Waterston, one of my favorite curmudgeons. I can't wait to see who you become next week.
