i have put my name down for panels at crimefest ( am soooo looking forward to it)and I am keeping fingers crossed for Harrogate - they will get back to me soon i hope. I will def go even if i am not on a panel. It's Its been such a tough year for me writing wise and just about to hand in another book so that should be out in time for crimefest.

Hi, Well I've done Harrogate for the last three years, so this year I'm exploring CrimeFest.
Are you on any of the Panels this year, Lee?

Amsterdam is great. Can't wait until I can make it home again, soon.

Hi Fleur
yes thanks. Love Amsterdam, great city, lovely people. Ended up booking Mariska from PIC and she was really helpful. Would have liked to have met up with someone but i am only a short plane ride so maybe next time...

Hi Lee,

Did not get your post to my page until today; been slacking on my online stuff...

Hope you found your way around Amsterdam??

Thanks for accepting my friend request, sorry about the editing thing, . . . writing and editing, they never cease to both excite and tire me!

Wow, a friend of Simon and Em from LA -- There is a good place to be.

Good selectioin of authors, but some I haven't read in years.

Hi Simon
it's really new to me the deadline thing. I'm hoping it will get easier. please don't tell me any different!!

I feel your pain. I'm buried and I don't seem to be digging myself out.

In the U.S., Exeter, New Hampshire hosts the elite private preparatory school Phillips Exeter Academy the basis of John Knowles fictional prep school in his acclaimed novel A Separate Peace. Knowles was sponsored for membership in Yale's elite Elizabethan Club by my agent Don Gastwirth, who sold my prep school novel, Little Gods, described as "the best prep school novel since A Separate Peace," and by Senator John Kerry as "a powerful story"
