Hi Pepper, Fabulous to connect with you.

I'm an Australian multi-genre writer with my crime novel, SAYONARA, being considered by a Publisher now.

Its based ona true story . Our Japanese ex-change student disappeared.

Love your covers. Good luck with your books :))

Thanks for the invitation, Pepper.

Good day to you Ma'am, and wishing you much success with your Blood Money.

i.m a new writer so
be kind

Pepper, I'd like to interview you for my Mysterious People blog. Email me with your bio, web and blog sites to Seniorsleuth@aol.com, if you're interested.

Thanks,
Jean

Pepper,
About author photos--that's just a casual observation on my part. And yes . . . there are always exceptions!!

Hey Pepper, I write for Whiskey Creek Press, too!

Hi Pepper,
Thanks for becoming my friend--I'm always happy to find fellow mystery authors in online communities.

I'm so glad you enjoyed Her Royal Spyness, and I'm happy to be added to your list of friends on Crimespace.

I will certainly let you know. Murder Mystery evenings seem to be growing in strength over here. I'm always looking for different (and legal) ways to promote my novels, and myself, of course, as an author brand. I did an eight hour book signing on a ferry crossing in conjunction with a bookshop in May, which was great fun, and as it is the National Year of Reading over here, supported by our Prime Minister, I was able to capitalise on this too. Seen the comments about e books. All my novels and business books are available in e books. I have a great UK publisher for them, but the majority of my sales are in the States, which I am certainly not complaining about, and the reviews for my novels from the States are very encouraging. They seem to be very popular with library readers over there. My business books are also available as audio books and soon all my novels will be, my e book publisher is also into this area, and again download sales particularly in the States are good. Not sure if Jean Henry Mead will read this comment, Pepper, but with print on demand she could bring her books back into print under her own imprint and make them available through her web site and contacts. Forgive me if I am already preaching to the converted or going over old ground but wondered if any of this might help. Bye for now Pauline.

Hi Pepper, Thanks for inviting me to become a 'friend'- that expression always makes me smile and think of the school playground. Congratulations on your novels. It's tough getting published and just as tough building your name and readership, but you keep going, and as long as readers enjoy your novels you think, 'I'll get there.' Besides, writing (like you say) becomes an obsession. I too started writing mysteries whilst at school. I'm not sure how old the sixth grade is but I wrote my first mystery novel aged 11. I also listen into the conversations on the Internet and social networks and I'm on Facebook. Bye for now. Pauline.

Thank you for the ebook info! Good idea! I'll get ting in touch with the authors. It's great to have you as a CrimeSpace friend, Pepper. :=)

Thanks for the ebook education! I'm so glad I joined CrimeSpace. :-) Please stay in touch

Sorry for the extra comment box. There's either something wrong with my computer or I'm doing it wrong by clicking on the comment box.

Thanks for the input, Pepper. What I know about epublishing would fill a thimble. I have nine out-of-print books that I thought I'd recycle through an ebook publisher, but no one seems to have heard of ePress-online, so I thought I'd check with someone who knows. When I accessed Fictionwise and saw the $1,000 setup charge I thought, 'Whoa, I'm not paying to be published.'

Yes, I'll present at Muse It Up, I just need to get my stuff sent in!! :-)

Hey, how's it going??

Hi Pepper. Just stopping by to say Hi and congratulations for having three novels out there. It's my dream.

Great! Let me know what you think. Send me an email if you have any questions. lee@leelofland.com

Oh, take a peek at my blog, The Graveyard Shift, if you get a chance. It's a pretty good companion site to the book.
