    Hi Anne. It's a pleasure. Thanks for the invitation to be your friend. Do you have a new book out in these days?

    What's a new book? It's the one I'm writing at, I suppose... Hi Reinhard. Good to have you around.

    "Anne Chaplet wurde 1958 in Kiel geboren, studierte Mathematik und Theologie..."
    We share a similar background, and now we share CrimeSpace as a foreground... After I get a few more novels under my belt, maybe we can compare notes. I know a great place for Kaffee und Kuchen in Goslar. ;-)

    Hi Anne,
    You mentioned the Loop. I see it almost every day. Lots of times there's so many people in the way I don't enjoy where I am. Probably because I'm always trying to get to work or to lunch or shopping, trying to fit too much into too little time.

    Ha! I had to write you as we have a lot in common. Well, now my hair is red and curly, not brown like in the picture--looks like yours too only longer. And I also weight-lift and really like it. My barbell has about 30 lbs on it now. Also, I had a foreign-exchange daughrer, Jopie de Keyzer from Breda, Holland. Geez. We're separated at birth, except I'm a lot older than you.

    Dear friends, the great big lot of you -
    do you remember a thing called "modem"? Yes, it still exists! At least over here in France, where I don't have fast access to the net.
    So excuse me for answering not everyone of you...
    Dear Newt, this biography you quoted is a fake. I enjoyed myself immensely when I first invented it nearly 10 years ago. But since then I had my coming out (yes, Anne Chaplet, the famous Huguenot, is not my real name). I admit to having, alas, studied history and politics... and that's not all...
    Goslar? It's a great place! When shall we meet...????
    Dear Morgan, I do understand you being fed up with seeing every day what us tourists enjoy only once in a while... Still, Chicago was a great place to be.. and still is, I hope???
    Dear Andrea, who knows???
    Thank you all and see you soon.... Anne "The Fake" Chaplet

    Your life is even better than the bio story. Since you are so hip and wonderful, I hope you will let a mathematician / theologian who turned to crime novels still hang out with you.

    > ... Anne Chaplet, the famous Huguenot

    Does that mean you are a religious follower of Victor Hugo? ;-)

    > Goslar? It's a great place!
    > When shall we meet...????

    Alas, not this year...
    But when we do Goslar, we must also try to see Quedlinburg, yes?

    Choosh!

  • Anne Chaplet

    Wow, Newt! Quedlinburg? For sure!
    Actually I'd feel much better nowadays if I had studied mathematics (the fat amounts of money I earn or owe) and theology (believing is a gift) - actually I held a -sermon? we call it predigt - in a protestant church a while a go... And crime novels are just another chapter of the bible, isn't it? *gg*
    Tell me more about your amazing career... Why the combination of the two? (I found it irresistible, then and hence...)
    Well, Hugo - Hug or not... it's an idea... he sold quite a lot of books....

    And what is "choosh"????

    Apr 10, 2007

  • Newt Love

    The last few times I've been in Deutchsland, "choosh" was used a lot, in the way Italians use "ciao." maybe it is spelled "cheuce" ?

    Hi,
    You seem to have quite a sense of humor :-))) I know Frankfurt a little bit. I have a sort of adoptive "Oma" on Fahrgasse. :-))

    Dear Delphine! What is humour????
