Je viens de Nouveau Mexique, mais j'ai vecu en France pendant une annee quand j'avais 15 ans. Donc mon francais n'est pas magnifique. Mais, je parle un 'tit peu.
Je suis une ecrivaine publiee par La Presse de l'Universite de Nouveau Mexique.
Et pardonnez-moi, mais je ne sais pas comment trouver les accents avec le Crimespace.
Quatre-vingt-quinze pour cent or (badly translated into English) 1/4 of a pint of quince wine for a penny...
Is now up as the blog on my page of CrimeSpace or on my homepage.
France..wow..the closest I've been to France was sitting at a desk in my High School French class. :-) I rem. a lil' bit - but my spelling leaves a lot to be desired. (& probably changes the meaning of what i was trying to say!) but here goes -Merci pour etres un ami! (i hope i said thanks for being a friend!)I'm sorry about your separation, I wish you the best!
Bonjour, Delphine. J'aime aussi le film Fargo, et j'habit Minnesota, donc c'est presque mon voisinage. J'ai obliee tout mon francais, milles pardons, mais bienvenue.

I thought you would love it. It gives you access to current writers of English Language Crime Fiction -- your research specialty. Perhaps some of them would be interested in reading some of your recent papers. I know I enjoyed reading them!
Achh! Politicians! Shakespeare's list should have had two entries... "...first we kill the lawyers and the politicians.
Great news: HTSS is being considered for stocking in a large county library system in Florida! That will be my first bulk sale. Not bad for two months out from a new author at a new publisher! I may have to trade in my unknown status for something more popular.
You have an impressive list of writers you like. I like so many and they are so varied that I gave up listing them, and there are always new ones. I too am interested in crime fiction in a academic way. I wrote my research MA (maitrise) on the 'missing' detective in contemporary French crime fiction. As examples I used Daeninck's Cadin and Vargas's Adamsberg. Very torn as to whether to undertake a PhD on Vargas, but in the meantime am giving papers on various aspects of her work while I consider it. Also writing a chapter for a reference book on crime fiction translated into English. Very broad scope though the French feature quite significantly and my interest in Pennac and Vargas will be well used.
For my paid work I am a picture researcher working mainly for academics in Oxford as I live near there. My working life has been spent working in publishing from children's books, language textbooks etc - all mainly with the image content but I have also edited and designed them. And just sometimes I think I would like to write something...
After the exams, I am finally finding time to read more. I am now on Goodreads where I am having a lot of fun exchanging ideas of things to read.
My latest discoveries are On Chesyl Beach by Ian McEwan and a super great detective novel, The Athenian Murders by José Carlos Somoza.

Delphine, Thanks for stopping by my website and offering the feedback. Please give my regards to Cara, and to Paris. I look forward to learning about some great books by following your posts and reading lists. My wife, who spent a year in Paris, can help me with your French blog. Merci' Jim

Being a long-term huge fan of Fred Vargas I was really pleased to discover a couple of books by Sébastien Japrisot in a second hand shop not far from here (of all things)! I'm really looking forward to them - they sound like great fun, so I was extremely pleased to find you mention them in your list of favourites as we coincide on so many other authors.
Hi Delphine, thanks for the invite! I'm not sure, but I think I might have at least one of John Harvey's books, but I won't be able to check until I have moved home. Rest assurred I shall definitely check him out though!
