A week or so ago, you stopped by my page and recommended that I check out Loren D. Estleman's work. I'm deep into *The Master Executioner* now, and you were absolutely correct. Great writer. Thanks.
Thanks for visiting my site and providing that detailed inventory of your spare PARTS. I love blogging and it is a release of my humor. I have threads of it in my books, but not nearly to the extent I do here and on MySpace. I've got quite a following there. I save my strangest things for MySpace. Thanks for exploding your humor on me. I LOVE it!!!
I hardly know where to start in recommending a Collins book, but you might try TRUE DETECTIVE (1983), one of his Nate Heller books, which is a favorite of mine.
HIi, Dennis,
Thanks for stopping by my page & telling me about Loren D. Estleman. I always interested in new [to me] hard-boiled, and especially, western writers.
A bichon is a dog. Its full name is Bichon Frise, and although that sounds french, I heard a rumor they're actually from Spain. Anyway, why two? God knows! Sounded like a good idea at the time - provide each other with companionship when the rest of us are gone, etc. They're nothing more than partners in crime!
You can get "Three Strikes You're Dead" and my second Steve "Snap" Malek novel through Amazon and also direct from my publisher, Echelon Press (www.echelonpress.com). Thanks for your interest!
Re your post, I'm a Lindquist by marriage only, so I wouldn't look like any you knew - they were probably Swedish and I'm of Scottish ancestry. :) My husband is actually from Saskatchewan and (long story here) he wasn't related to them either, because his grandfather's name was actually Peterson before he changed it to Lindquist. :)
Thank you much, Robert. From one scribe to another. Me thinks you have an edge on me, but it is great to relate.
It starts with a rumor of serious shenanigans in the the northern U.P. where they were logging the King. The timber from the White Pine. There were rumours of serious trouble, where a female reporter wrote about the 'Ram's Pasture'--a hell-camp of slavery and debauchery. Strangers were shanghaied on the frontier, shunted to camp, and help in peonage.
Journalists came from all over the mid-west to see, if any of the report was true. The female reporter, Leah Brennan, is from Chicago. She plays a major role.
This has stretched from Mackinac Island to the Last Frontier. My reporter, Kell Thomas, is coming back, just much older.

Been in Michigan a number of times.
Your book sounds awesome. I've been to the UP and love the setting. Good luck!
We must get together, we have much in common. My dad took me back to the old Cubs, my mother still believes she is a fan. Where do I find your novel?
I will go back and google for it. -Den

I'm interested in learning more about your new book & your 1890s newspaper reporter!
