Congratulations on all of your books. (I love nonfiction, too, of course, but I'm glad your heart is still in mystery, where we can all enjoy its long and lustrous life!) You're an inspiration.
Hi, Lynette.. thanks for the thumbs up on GUILT. It was fun to write. You're right, of course... there is no vacation from writing. It is a jealous mistress. Sometimes I wish it would leave me alone.
Hi, Lynette! Nice to see some MWF faces here (for the first time, actually...no avatars on MWF). Sandra's right - pretty welcoming bunch o' folks here.
Ahhh well what a difference, a mystery "now and then" compared to how it once was. Ah well. I'm glad you found a home for #2. Yeah--just moving on in all kinds of ways. I wrote a little on my page about why I'm going this route. I may be nuts, but I gotta do it! Got to.
Glad Chipp is getting another book out--I am still disappointed. Sigh. It could've been so great.
Hi Carolyn, Like you, I enjoyed my association with Silver Dagger and it is a shame to see them doing so few mysteries now. I was at a signing with Chipp (Daniel Bailey) a couple of weeks ago and they do plan to published his 3rd book this year.The second in my series has been done for 2 years and there is another small publisher interested in it. I will probably drop the series after this. I dibbled in romance and had a book come out last summer. It has done pretty well, but my heart is still in mystery. I have a new series with an agent. It is a little grittier than SD published. I'm keeping my fingers corssed.I admire you for turning to historical mystery. Most of my work is set in the present day. I guess I'm too lasy to do the research that an historical requires. Glad to see that you are getting back into writing because I enjoyed your SD book.
Thanks for the comment Lynette. And I'm proud to live in South Dakota, people who've never been here don't understand it. I see you sign at HD shops. Well, you really should read my books if you're a motorcycle enthusiast because I've got "real" bikers in my books since they're set outside of world famous Sturgis!
It's a real shame that SDM stopped pursuing mystery. I don't regret the experience though, not at all. It was fun, but I'm not that writer anymore, so I'm ready to work on different. What is up your sleeves? I've had a few years away from writing and am now pursuing my first history mystery. I'm about ready to dig in. What about you? Do you want to try and find another publisher or are you working on something different now?
Hi Carolyn, I remember you from back when .... Silver Dagger was just getting ready to publish my book and you were very supportive. I'm glad I got my rights back too. The 2nd in my series is also done, but as you, I've moved on. Thanks for the welcome.
Ahhh fellow Silver Dagger author! Though I got my rights back recently from them. Moving on, no real reqrets (though it would've been nice to have the 2nd in the series published as promised). Welcome to Crimespace--it'll get your blood pumping, without doubt.
Thanks for being my friend, Sandra. Now I don't feel like I used to when I was the kid on the playground who was always picked last to be on a team. (Of course being a klutz may have had something to do with it.)
