Hi Steven. How nice to hear from you. I trust all is well. Congrats on the award. Johnny D. would be proud! (Going to check out the blog. . .) Cheers, J
Hi Steven
Congratulations on your award. I hope you started that new writing project. It's such a great feeling to get going on a story after a long period of not writing. For me, it's almost like a sense of relief, as if the story had building pressure inside until I let it flow onto the page.
I read your blog regularly, so I realized that you wrote about my post. Sorry that my English is not good enough, otherwise I would write sometimes posts on crimespace.
Indeed, I never read IJ Parker, but I realized that she is active on crimespace and often comments on "contemporary nomad".
Concerning Winspear: If I understand you correctly Maisie Dobbs wasn't your cup of tea (She won the Agatha). I agree, but I was really impressed with her description of (and attitude to) the "great war" and due to her I bought me a book with verses from Wilfred Owen - fine stuff.
in case you care. Just posted my review of "the concrete maze". The link ist here http://krimileser.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/kurzrezension-steven-torres-concrete-maze/
Just finished The Concrete Maze yesterday. I intend to get a review posted and then send it on to my daughter in W. Virginia. I'm sure she will really enjoy the book. I did but it made me sad.
Hi Steven,
I'm glad you picked up a copy of my book. I'd like to meet you and all the other crimespace authors. I'll be at the LIM conference next Feb. in Chicago. Are you or any of your writing friends planning on making it to that conference?
OK, "Hardboiled Cozy," Cabot Cove but the people leave uglier corpses? I was relating "Hardboiled Cozy" to the Bronx. Kind of nice murders at the candy store. But your way works too.
Thank you so much for the welcome. I just started reading Chris Mooney's "The Missing" and just finished Janet Evanovich's "Lean Mean Thirteen". Have a great day.

But: Winspear did not receive an Edgar. She was as often as Bruen nominated for it.
