Right. Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. Mind you, I'm getting there. I now know far more words than I did a few weeks ago, although my mother-in-law still isn't sure about how the word motherf***** is a term of endearment.
Hi, Reece,
Thank you for the intro and invite. Glad to hear from you, and well done for the forthcoming FREEFALL. Also pleased to hear you aren't part of the Russian mob or done any of that nasty reprehensible insider stuff. I 'did' the Russian Mafyia in my last book; they're just so right for it, aren't they?
G'luck. Adrian
Thanks for friending me. My agent is shopping for a new publisher for my series about a stockbroker, and the work she's showing (#3) is also about insider training. I was actually investigated for same, but was never named as a target. Looking forward to FREEFALL.
Good Morning Counsellor Hirsch,
Thank you for your comment. As an Attorney, you have a wealth of knowledge and experience as well. I think attorneys make great Writers! I look forward to your novel.
I certainly join the other members in wishing you great success with your debut novel. Let us know when it becomes available, I'll be at the front of the line to purchase it.
Welcome to the space Reece,
My editor was just telling me the other day how he thought financial crime novels are going to be the next hot ticket. He'd just published a debut novelist to rave reviews on a similar topic to yours. So fingers crossed that it works out the same for you!
Thanks for friending me!
Always glad to meet another writer online. Congratulations on your upcoming book, I'll be on the lookout for it. I'm about to finish my first WIP. Will be taking a week long workshop with Donald Maass this September and have to have a polished 50pgs. to send to him by July. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)
Hi, Reece. Thanks for the friend invite. Double Whammy is probably my favorite Hiassen as well, though I've never read a Hiassen I didn't like. Even the YAs and the golf book are fun.
Reece - just moved into a new place -- so can completely relate to the packing and unpacking. It was a delight to learn about your move and your forthcoming book. Can't wait!
Reece -- just learned that we are both "alumni" now of SNR. Congratulations on your new job. Looking forward to your book - hope you'll introduce it at M is for Mystery in San Mateo -- Ed Kaufman is the best! Take care!
Glad you dug the article in the tribune. We knew something was coming but had no idea it would be so cool!
Looks like we owe more people drinks....
And don't forget to keep us in the loop on your book!
I was offered a job as editor of a Hong Kong and Southern China business magazine, and associate editor of Asian Finance - which was regional. It was from '86-'97, the height of the economic boom - and as a business journalist I had amazing access to all sorts of people and places. They also let me write about pretty much anything I wanted to so long as I tossed in an economic analysis along the way. I would think that Business Atlanta must have covered some stories that would lend themselves to scurrilous goings on for a novel.
Reece, On Philip Kerr, please start out with 'The March Violets' as part one of his Berlin trilogy. You will fall in love with the PI Bernie Gunther. Until then, the dude abides.
Reece, Love your choice of writers. I stumbled on Horse Latitudes years ago and have been a Ferrigno fan ever since. What can you say about McGuane, you crawl out of an elephant's ass and fight a dual with a pitching machine. I loved Panama. Have you read any of Philip
Kerr's Bernie Gunther novels. Wonderful stuff. Good luck with Freefall.
