Hey, Suzanne! It's always a pleasure to see you. Best wishes and a big hug to you.

Hi Earl, I found you on here too. Suzanne

Thanks for the friendship, Earl! We share an admiration for S.J. Rozan's books.

Best,

Michael

I'm thrilled to announce my opportunity to appear as a guest on NETDRAG, a Podcast interview and discussion show better for writers than Leno and Letterman. I hope you'll give it a listen and let me know what you think: Here's where to find it:

I know you'll find it as informative, interesting and as much fun as I did.

Yes, Ken, I had the pleasure and honor to be an invited guest on the NETDRAG Podcast and loved it. What a terrific idea to give authors an opportunity to talk about this writing addiction in detail and at length! We talked about the publishing industry in general and even divulged a few secrets we wouldn't normally get to talk about in normal venues. Plus, it was a helluva lotta fun. I hope a lot of people listen in at:

Hey, Earl! I just heard you were on NETDRAG! The Crime Fiction Writer's and Reader's Podcast! Is it true? Is this the link?

Earl:

For God's sake, Ix-Nay on the you-know-what fetish thing, will ya? I'm trying to plow some fertile fields in here, after having already harvested all my crops in Dlot. Several times over. Hehe.

I wasn't aware of my status here, Ken. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to see about changing it from member to author. As for female fans knocking down my front door, there's no need. I leave it unlocked for just such occasions.

Earl, you old son of a gun! I just finished sending a message to Shane, about how he's listed here in CrimeSpace as a "member" but not as an "author" and the same holds true for you. I think maybe you guys flubbed up when you did your sign up. Or maybe you just didn't want all those female fans knocking down your front door with a battering ram? Hehe.

Thanks. And writing should be fun. If you're having fun, so will your readers. I hope you do read The Sex Club.

Thanks for the note, L.J. I wish I had a better face to put with the name, but we have to go with what we've got. The psychic element was interesting to write into the story, but poor Adam has to rely on good old fashioned police work more. I actually rewrote the story once without the psychic part, but then put it back in. It made the story much more fun. Best wishes to you. Earl

Hi Earl
I see your posts on MMA and it's nice to put a face with your name. Good luck with Memory of Murder. They psychic concept is interesting.

I think it's great that you did it, Annette, cause now I know who to go to when I have a question about police procedure.

Thanks, Earl. And thanks for coming over to my page for a visit, too. The Citizens' Police Academy has been an incredible experience. I expected it to be interesting, but it's really changed my way of thinking. Not to mention my writing!

Hey, Annette! Always a pleasure to see your name on my screen. And now I've seen your picture, too. It's great to be able to put a face to a name. Write well and be well, my friend.

Hiya, Earl! How nice to see you here!

Thanks, Beth. I was happy to be part of that project. I'll be reading Basket Case soon. I'm in the middle of another book now, so I loaned it to an avid reader friend. I told her if her dog chews on it, I'll kill her. The dog, too. Best of everything to you. Earl

Thanks for your note, Earl. I loved your "Robbery on Christmas Eve" story in the Carols and Crimes, Gifts and Grifters anthology!

Hey, Bret! Great hearing from you. It's been a long time. The hat's fine, and while I have it in hand, let me offer a tip of the Stetson to you for making the semi-finals of the contest on Amazon. That's big time and I have a hunch you're going to go all the way. Good luck and keep up the good work.
