Thanks for the 'add," LJ. I love the title as well, The Sex Club." I'm afraid I'm not a very good empty nester - I forgot to change the locks.

Thanks for the note, LJ. Nice to connect with you, as well.

Thank you! And I know what you mean. LOL. Btw, I love your fav authors!

H.P. Lovecraft is the father of Weird tales. If you've read King's shorts Jeruselem's Lot or the Mist, both of them are Lovecraft inspired.

Clive Barker is best known for the creation of the Hellraiser movies based on his novella The Hellbound Heart.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

hi,LJ I also love Anne McCaffery, dragons of pern series,and Stephen Donaldson, Thomas covenant series, so you know my tastes how the hell did i end up writing crime fiction.
My agent has asked me to write a kids thriller, but guess what it has turned into a fantasy.

Hey L. J. ,
That's great. I've found a huge disparity between jurisdictions; some are incredibly helpful, some will totally stonewall you.
Good luck!
Jon

Thanks so much for the friend-addition. Second time around is double-scary - and frustrating - if you have editors in London and New York who have different visions of what the book should be. I'm getting there, though, slowly but surely! Love that title - who wouldn't pick up a book called The Sex Club?? And you're right about the Power of Jack ... it's bloody hard work trying to find a male-hero name that's any different. It could well be the fuck-like 'k' that does it ... Or maybe it's just Jack Nicholson's fault - so damn cool he made every other name seem feeble by comparison!

Ooh, and thanks so much for the comment too - double well done to you for your book series - sounds fabulous.

Hugs!

Thanks L.J. Hey, you're just down the coast - left coast neighbors. I have a bizarre memory from Eugene from when I was 10. We had been driving all day on our way to California and stopped for dinner at a quirky cafe. The sun had set and the sky was steel blue and a wind whipped off the water. We had been singing 'Hotel California' in the car and I was completely freaked. I was convinced we would never be able to leave our motel. I think I was a little overtired...it was sunny in the morning and no one refused us exit. I may take you up on the editing one day!

Hi L.J.,
Great to hear good things are being said about my books! Yes, the psychology/criminology background is very handy...although not as good as being an ex-cop, forensic pathologist or something!

L.J...I work for the government, so time is abundant :o)...Short attention span helps...By the way, I could say ditto back to you! Thanks for the note.

Hello L.J. -- Yeah, I have seen your posts on DL as well. Always far more succinct and intelligent than I. Have been doing my utmost to stay outta trouble over there. Have noticed a marked fall off regarding number of comments in general there, especially of late. Not sure why. However, your book is being spoken of there quite a bit! Congrats! The perfect title helps.
Will add you as a friend!
Thanks and will get this message to you.

Thanks for your comment. I agree about the spouses, though. It's hard to write about the violent deaths of children when you are surrounded by friends with youngsters. Well, as an author you have to do it anyway but I'm curious if I can write this way by the time I have children of my own ...

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I joined because I needed a network of people who have been or are going through the same experiences. So I'm hoping that through you and others here I an pull the strength to perservere. Thanks again. =)

Nice to 'meet you' and never be gulity of 'oddball favorites' like the Princess Bride--Long hari, swords and wrestler giant--what's not to like? Stand up commic is tha hardest job I can imagine--i tried it once and still have scars on my soul;)

Glad you like Greg McKenzie. I picked it because I wanted a Scottish name but not my own. Didn't realize I was making a power play. He's gone over well with readers and reviewers.

Hi L.J.,
Thanks for the comment. I agree that short stories are tougher than novels. I spend more effort page for page on a short story than on a novel.

How are Kindle sales? I've been thinking about Kindle for a previously published novel that's no longer in print.

I hope the Sex Club sells well.

Thanks for the friend invite LJ - Layer Cake definitely was a great movie - but then I loved Daniel Craig as Bond as well :)
