Thanks for the blog comment. I'm sure you're right about the added exposure and I'm very flattered that you're re-reading the book so soon after receiving it.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

Thanks so much Joyce. You've always been so supportive. I'm glad that my attempt to write "as a girl" wasn't scoffed at.

Thanks for the comment on the blog post Joyce. It's funny, but these reviews seem to come in spells and it's relaly nicet o have seen this latest ne so soon after your own great review of my work.

Very best regards

Brian

Thanks for the kind words and congrats!!!

Thanks for the kind words about Vig. I enjoyed working on it at least as much as anything else I have written. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hello Joyce,

Thanks for placing my book on your sites. I really appreciate that. I'm glad my poetry has surprised you. I write poetry under my own name and as Juan Pablo Jalisco. Juan has a website at www.freewebs.com/juanpablojalisco/

I also write childrens and young adult books under the name of Harry Porter, and have a site at http://harry-porter.webs.com

I do like to spread myself around a bit.

Its great to hear from you and I hope you're having a good day.

Best regards

Brian

Hi Joyce,

Thanks for doing the review. I'll be very interested to see it when it appears on the Amazon site. I also hope that Hollywood doea my book justice. Like you I've often been disappointed in film versions of The Ripper, particulalry 'From Hell' with Johnny Depp. I like him but that fim was AWFUL. The best version was 'Jack The Ripper' starring Michael Caine whihc was made for TV back in the 80s. A great version, though I disagreed with the conclusion, but the atmosphere they created and the believablility factor was all there.

I'll go see if that review has shown up yet and once again Joyce, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the book and thanks you for taking the time to say so in public via the Amazon site.

Would you believe I'm hard at work with my publisher puitting the finishing touches to my poetry collection under my Juan Pablo Jalisco name which is due out this week? Quite a change eh?

Best regards


Brian

Thanks ever so much Joyce. I agree with you that reader reviews are far more important than so-called 'professional' ones. They are a far truer reflection of the book and how it's seen by the reading public.

So I have to say thank you once again and hope that you'll also get the chance to see the movie of 'A Study in Red' when it's released.

Best regards

Brian

Hello Joyce,

What can I say except, thank you for such a wonderful response to the book? I'm absolutely delighted that you enjoyed it so much and hope you find the sequl equally as compelling when it is released later this year. As for that time machine, I've studied the Victorian era for so long that I think I was born a hundred years too late. I would have loved to live through that period and I hope it shows in my writing when I delve into the past. I did spend a lot of time researching not just the Ripper case, but Victorian speech and writing habits to try and make the journal read authentically, and the study of Victorian psychaitric methods was eye-opening.

I do hoep you won't mind if I ask if you'd mind putting that wonderful review on the Amazon site forme? Every good reveiew is a potential aid to helping the book succeed and I would greatly appreciate it.

Thansk again for your wonderful comment son my work Joyce.

Very best regards

Brian

Just thought I'd touch base in here and say 'Hiya!'

Hi Joyce,

Well, let's hope you do get it soon and can enjoy it sooner than aniticipated. I'm sorry for the late reply but my computer was disaled yesterday by a serious virus infection that wasn't cleared until after midnight my time and I'm now tryng to play catch up. (!78 emails in my inbox to begin with).

Best regards

Brian

Wow Joyce,

You sure move fast. Thanks for ordering the book and I really hope you enjoy it. the contract for the sequel was signed yesterday as sson as the publisher received the manuscript, and the same editor who worked with me on the first book has been appointed to work with me again on this one, which is great, as she knows my work so well.

Will look forward to hearing more from you very soon.

Very best wishes

Brian

Hi Joyce,

Thanks for your kind message. I've spent 37 years studying the ripper case and my book was my fictional tribute to those who fell victim to his crimes. I do hope you'll get a copy and would love to hear what you think about it. It has topped the bestseller chart at Amazon in its category in the USA, The UK and Canada in the last year, so it must have some appeal. when I received the Movie Deal I was almost speechless for a week. Please check out the reviews at amazon and if you do get it, I will be very honoured.

Best regards

Brian

Thanks for reading the stories. I just submitted my entry for the Twist of Noir contest. Fingers crossed that they like it. I do. The pressure of writing for a contest brings out the best in me I guess. Now if I can just get one of those novels published.....

Yo, girl!! I joined up in this outfit!! Thanks to you.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked it.

I hadn't heard about the Nanoedit in March. I think I will look into it Mine needs a good stiff red pen, but like Kit Palooka in Pretty Woman, it "...gots lots of potential"
