You certainly have made the list, and now you're here too! Be fruitful and do any math functions you would like to, including multiplying your happiness!
Thanks for the invite. While I am pursuing a writing career, I am, and always have been, a reader. That's one of the things I like about this site...reader and writers together
Hey Lois,
Glad we're friends. I remember that scene from HHSweet Char, and it stayed with me a while too. Much like the creepy dark-haired girl climbing out of the TV in The Ring. That still haunts me.
I think you're right about IS. It's not going to keep you up at night. It has it's moments, but it's more fun than anything.
Please let me know if you like it. I appreciate the feedback.
Hey Lois---Thanks for your friendship. I grew up in San Antonio too. And my debut book is based there. I'd love to hear more about where and when if you get a chance.
SCREAM will be released Apr 2008. If you're homesick, try the Story Behind the Story (drill down into my website for SCREAM) for the locales I used and their significance for me. I also have excerpts describing the scenes. I used to go to Ursuline Academy, near Churchill and graduated a couple of years after you, so we must have crossed paths. And I ultimately graduated from UTD (Dallas) too. Very small world.
Hi, Lois - We share a lot of favorite authors. I picked up Chris Grabenstein's Tilt A Whirl last week at Mayhem in the Midlands. He and Donna Andrews were both hilarious charity auctioneers there. I'm a mystery con lover too!
I always made it a point to treat our school librarians well (of course one of them was my aunt!) because they make teaching so much easier. Now I'm finding that the same is true of public librarians, who steer me in the right direction when I'm researching a novel. Currently finding out cool stuff about Vikings in Britain c. 1100AD.

Did you go to Malice Domestic this year? That's not a far drive from Philly.

I'll be at both Malice and Bcon in 2008. I also go to New England CrimeBake. It's always a good conference, too.
