That's a fascinating CV you have there ... and I love the idea, mentioned by Jennifer below, on a novel about a lost Shakespeare play. That's got to be a lot of fun ... I presume you'll have to include Shakespearian snippets, right? Take care, Declan

Thanks for the add. =)

More Chicago novels? Great and a place where people vote early and often, as Libby says. Thanks for inviting me!

At 9:51am on September 5, 2007, Krystal Waters said…: Hi David, if you get this message before you are off to the Great Exploration, I wish you lots of fun! The Grand Canyon is just amazing... I think you can ride horses down a pathway, perhaps not now because of the weather?

Take care of yourself on your journey and don't get lost! lol Write me when you return!

Kristine =)

At 12:18am on September 3, 2007, David L. Hoof said…: Pardon the fragmented previous message. COmputers do funny things when my magic fingers dance on the keyboard. More on Chicago. Daughter went to U of C and loved it. What can you say of a school that graduated by Hugh Hefner and Eliot Ness. Balance, no? I'm hoping to write a few more Chicago novels and avoid the fate of Guy Izzi. When you were with NBC, was that on their Nebraska Avenue facilty (now next to Homeland Security.)?

At 12:15am on September 3, 2007, David L. Hoof said…: Chicago's so great a city that I chose it as the setting for my Spike Halleck novels. Those novels were so good that the producers of The Fugitive pirated five scenes almost unchanged for the picture (you'll remember that The Fugitive was set in Chicago.) i FO0)you'ePiratedGu hata ch

At 7:24am on September 2, 2007, Libby Hellmann said…: Yes... I left for all the reasons you'd expect, but my family is still there so I come back regularly. And 3 of my closest friends still live there as well. I used to work at NBC, TVN, and PBS...before I saw the light. It was actually more of a jaded feeling that wouldnt go away. Chicago is great... real graft, real corruption... and never boring.

At 10:05am on September 1, 2007, Libby Hellmann said…: Thanks, David. Did you know I grew up in DC? About a block from the old Shoreham hotel... what are you doing there?

At 2:28am on September 1, 2007, Northern Light said…: Thank you for the recommandation!

At 2:03am on September 1, 2007, Peg Herring said…: OH, so I don't have to tell you! I thought they only hated lost, forlorn tourists looking for Malice Domestic!

At 11:08pm on August 31, 2007, J.D. Rhoades said…: Thanks for the invite, David. The book idea sounds like a winner. And as for the street map of Tel Aviv c. 1952: if no one can find one, who's going to complain if you just make stuff up?

At 10:12pm on August 31, 2007, Peg Herring said…: David, Thanks for the invitation. Someday I'll have to tell you why I hate the DC subway system!

At 1:16pm on August 31, 2007, Daniel Hatadi said…: He he. Thanks, David. It's a good feeling, and I'm glad everyone likes the place so much. I'll look into your friends issue sometime later as I'm at work.

Cheers,
Daniel

At 8:56am on August 29, 2007, Deborah Turrell Atkinson said…: P.S. I noticed that we like a lot of the same authors and movies--similar tastes!

At 8:56am on August 29, 2007, Deborah Turrell Atkinson said…: Hi David,
Good idea! And I like the idea of Lanai, too. I'm working on a mystery now that takes place on Maui, and would love to go to Lanai to do that research! There are so many wonderful things here in the islands to work into mysteries. My latest, FIRE PRAYER, takes place on Molokai, which is a very small, insular community--and a very Hawaiian community, rife with legends and folklore, which I couldn't resist weaving into the plot. It's not what I'd call a "closed door" mystery, but the reader knows right away it has to be a local--and to what extent to others protect their own??
Thanks for the input--and keep in touch, okay? Hope you come visit your brother soon.
Aloha, Debby
