It's here! Wednesday, Silent Counsel came in the mail. And Thursday, I got laid off. So now I have time to read it. Good news all the way around.

Thanks. Now if a newspaper reviewer with a large would say that . . .

Thanks, Ken. I'm thrilled about the Agatha nomination and grateful to all the friends who've helped me get this far, including you. :) Liz

I ordered it from Amazon, it seems like 9 years ago, but haven't received it yet. In theory, it's in my TBR pile.

Hi Ken
Congratulations on Silent Counsel. I keep hearing great things about it. I enjoy your posts on the mystery lists too.

Thanks, Ken dear! :) You know I love to celebrate! :)

Speaking of which, I think we'll be doing a lot of that at LCC ... can't wait to see you. :)

"Hello, Craw."
"No, not Craw! Craw!"

Sorry about that, Chief! ;)

Hello Ken,

Thanks for the greeting! I am looking forward to sharing with everyone. It's is always enjoyable to connect with other writers!

Howdy, Ken! Not sure on Denver, but it's looking unlikely at this point. I'm registered, but it's starting to look like it won't be possible for me. Alas.

Hi Ken, you added tremendously to B'con this year, too. It looks like I'll be at LCC09 Hawaii, but not in Denver. Too much going on here in March. I stayed at BU when I lived and worked in Boston. I grew up in Maine, though, about 2 hours away. Worked for the Kennedys for 3 years at both the Boston office and in the Senate. Different life and as far away from life in Alaska that it seems like it all happened to someone else. I loved going to the North End and hope to go back sometime and hear those brogues. I've got the rss link to Poes Deadly Daughters on our AKSinC site, and am thoroughly enjoying it from afar. And reading about you on DorothyL now and then, too. Have a great time in Denver and for the holidays. Looking forward to your next book.

Hi Ken, really enjoyed Sandra Parshall's interview. It sure expanded on that blurb we put in the Bouchercon program! And congrats on all the great reviews on SILENT COUNSEL. Wishing you the best for the holidays, from Alaska.

Ken:
I missed most of the MWA events this year. I work for HSBC and well...you've heard about the credit crunch--free time has been difficult to come by. I'll try to get back into the swing in '08.

Hi, Ken: Congratulations on the new book & it's success. I saw your interview on GM AZ -nice job; you look completely at ease. Have you done this before? I'm an MWA member & have an office in Parsippany. Give me a shout back.

I loved how the interview went. The focus was really on an interesting aspect of your book and was really intriguing. A great job by you and the interviewer. We could all learn a lesson in it. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Ken--I just saw your TV interview on Good Day AZ and I loved it. You showcased your book very well and the interviewer was good too. Great job!! What a compelling story for your debut book!

I'm jealous that I'm neither in Seattle nor headed for Anchorage. Send anyone and everyone my best. Also, rumor is you're on the ballot for the MWA-NY board. I'll appreciate your company.

Thank you for adding me! Silent Cousel sounds good. I'm going to put it on my Amazon wish list for next time I order.
