So you like funeral homes, huh? My second book, BAD GIRLS BURN SLOW, is about criminals and the funeral business in Los Angeles. It comes out August 08. My first book WANT SOME GET SOME is about a bold chick who gets her x to rob a B of A in LA and then takes him.

Hi Liz. Thanks for the add and nice to catch up with you again.

Thanks for the invite. Have you read Thomas Lynch's work? He's not a mystery writer, he writes essays about his life and work as a funeral director. They're exquisite.

Glad you looked me up, Liz -- thanks for the kind words!

Thanks fo rthe invitation!

Hi Liz,
My pleasure. I was a journalist as well for quite some time. It was an interesting, mostly fun, transition to writing fiction. How's it going for you?

Hi Liz: I see we share James Lee Burke as a favorite author. One of my other favorites is Kathy Reichs. Have you read her? I write mystery and suspense novels. Like cats, too. Have four and am babysitting two others--see my crimespace page.

Best,

I have two black rescue cats that I adore as well. On my second book, a rescued cat somehow wormed his way into my story...
Good luck with your novel!

Some people have had trouble with the chapter hyperlink, so i'll give you the direct address.

Liz -- Do you live in Massachusetts? I grew up in Lincoln. Great state. Great list of authors too -- great to see Joyce Carol Oates in that list. I haven't read everything (who has?) but she is compelling. Don't know if you enjoy outdoor sorts of mystery / thrillers, but thought I would pass along the suggestion of Antler Dust. Great reviews and it's fairly reasonable now (used) on Amazon. Just looking for readers! Cheers, Mark

Thanks, Liz! Great area, Metheun. I don't know many spots in Massachusetts that aren't rich and interesting. Out here, things are 'old' at 125. Different story back in MA. Cheers, Mark

Just saying Hi
Let me guess, you loved Six Feet Under. So did I.
Good luck with your series. It sounds original.

Liz that is quite a mischeivous look on your face! What havoc are your characters creating as you think to create that look??? :o)

HI Liz--thanks for reaching out. And I see we have mostly the same books on our shelf. Great minds think alike. K

Hi Liz,
Thanks for befriending this mystery author!

Hi Liz! Great to see you, too. Somehow I have two crimespace pages, and it's incredibly confusing. Anyway, glad you found me! And hope to see you soon! (I love 24 and Lost, too. Don't tell. I really think they fixed lost in Season 4. I had given up at the beginning of season 3, then someone told me to give it another try. Shows you, when you have a good story and then you lose it--you CAN pull it together. )
Cute cat, by the way!

Hey Liz,

Thank you very much for the invite and that's quite an impressive list of your favorite authors.
