    Hi Linda: Dressing the part, I see. I'm reviewing a book with--like yours--what I call an "old fashioned, hardboiled crime" cover. Good to see that coming back for that genre. Excerpts from my books are on my crimespace page.

    Smiles,

    Linda, thanks for being my first friend. :) I've been lurking around Crimespace for several months and today decided to bite the bullet and join. I'm sure I'll learn a lot and I do have a weakness for writer-friends.

    Linda, how cool to get to know you! We must thank Clea!

    My editor is in Creston. How far away is that from you? Can't be too far . . .

    Hey, I'm with you on your comments about Crimespace. Only Sisters in Crime rival it for fun and helpfulness. I LOVE the cover of Death Was the Other Woman and the way it begins. I'm going to go broke buying books around here and I'm having a heck of a time clearing out time to write.

    You're right about crimespace. So many new friends makes it hard to keep up with other stuff. Great to meet you. This is much more fun.

    Hey Vancouver girl. I had thought I should add you, so thanks. I live in Kits. Maybe we can grab a coffee sometime if you are near? I am going down to the Whidbey Island conference end of February, let me know if you are going as well.

    I had a great time at the launch, thanks so much for inviting me. I will be digging into your book this weekend. We should meet for a coffee one day when admiring masses aren't curled at your feet. Congratulations on the book.
