Dana, thanks, a friend just told me. Very exciting...

It was great to meet you too! Bouchercon was great...oh to live in the US and be able to go every year.

Hi Dana,
Thanks for befriending this cozy mystery author!

No can do, either to the 15 posts a week or summarizing my own week's work. I'm at max capacity on this online stuff as it is.

Thanks for letting me know. I did the cut and paste last year during book tour, but now with this, myspace, facebook, the website...no way. So the home site it is. Take care (and thanks for the nice words about JLB)

Dana - Could you share the web address for The Psycholopathology of Everyday Life. It caught my interest and I can't locate it on line. Thanks.
Cynthia Rice

Thanks for the kind words. I'm super excited about the whole prospect. :-)

Crais and Child are phenomenal. By the way, I have friends down around Woodridge and used to cover a bunch of stories out that way.

okie dokie! so glad for you! sounds more than encouraging. Keep on writing--I'm sure you will be busy all summer. All the best to you Dana!

you so made my day, Dana! No I hadn't seen that. I never dreamt anybody would really look at my page anyway--you know outside of Crimespace. But when I have a tough day, I just lose myself in the world I created there. btw how are you? Guess what?! I'm a third into my second draft. won't say anything else. too superstitious. will keep you posted!

Hi, Dana. Thanks so much for your comments. As I have said, CHICAGO BLUES will always be one of those "golden experiences" for me. Everything came together... the stories, the publishing, the marketing.. it was all so simple and easy that I suspect it was meant to be.
Let me know the next time you're in our fair city for more than an hour. It was wonderful to meet you in person.

Dana,
It's hard to believe Dubya could be smarter than Spitzer:) Then again, he has a lot of people covering for him.

Dana, you should never listen to me.

But, weirdly, I also have a story up this month with a returning vet - also a wheeler-dealer type vet, just returning from a different war to a different country - it's on demolitionmag.com

Just saying Hi . . . because you're online and I actually have a few free minutes to spend networking.
Good luck with your novel! You may need to remind your agent that there are more than 5 publishers.

I'm glad I was able to help. I also wrote a short piece about Miranda on my blog, The Graveyard Shift. Have you visited the site? You might find it helpful as well.

Hey, Dana,

I'd be happy to meet with your group. Drop me an e-mail at ascamacho@hotmail.com to talk dates and times.

Meanwhile, how about coming to the next meeting of our chapter of the Virginia Writers Club. We meet in Falls Church the third Sunday of each month.

Oh, and thanks for the add!

I was impressed with your ideas about "show and tell." They're not far off what I believe. Yes, knowing how much to show and how much to tell is a delicate balancing act.

Thanks, Dana. Appreciate it. Good luck with the debut. Wanna be friends?

Hey Dana,

I actually posted the obscenity argument. It's one I get into often. Looking forward to a submission from you.

Best,
