Distant Friends

[Austin S. Camacho]

Between Bouchercon and a big Halloween party I’ve seen lots of people in the last couple of weeks who are generally just names on e-mails for photos on Facebook. We stay in touch and on those occasions that we get face to face it’s wonderful to shake hands or hug and fall into conversation just as if we had been sitting in a coffee shop together the day before. Distance seems irrelevant to these relationships.

Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
