Jack, we'll have to raise a glass (or two) at Sleuthfest. See you there.

Skelo-writer? I will have to investigate.
Me? Do anything bad? My crossing-the-line days are long over. I have a granddaughter and another grand-something on the way. My kids are breeding like rats.

I know you're not mocking the Skelo-writer! 'Cause, y'know, that would be bad...

Shy type, are we Angie? You look like you're hiding behind that...that...puppet?

Hi, Jack. Um...that's really all I had to say. Except congrats on the book coming out. That's always cool!

Jack, great Backstory today. It really underscores the importance of never throwing anything away!! Congratulations!

Running out to meet booksellers--that's what I should be doing today too, only I don't have any books. Awaiting shipments.
I wish I had known a few bookstore owners BEFORE my novel came out...maybe you should stop kissing Hrothgar and go buy a book, casually mention your own upcoming event?
Just an idea. I'm really wrapped up in this now and I wish I'd started earlier.

Dog hair! Every time Hrothgar sees an open car door, he heads for it. Took me half an hour to get my backseat de-haired yesterday. Sheesh. Good thing doggy kisses are worth it!

I'm enjoying your world tour blog--I'm in St Louis today and your words stopped me from dashing into Left Bank Books to tell them all about my novel coming out--what?--like six months from now!. And I don't even have a chapbook to give them. I went across the street and bought an ottoman instead. You saved me. See--Crimespace is paying off already. Thanks!

Nice to meet you, too, Laura. Congrats on the thrillers coming out.
