Sadly, I was already taken (!) ... so she had to marry a famous Oxford and Harvard history professor ... I was reminded of her when I read the words, 'If you prove me wrong, I'll worship you.' ... Could you pass that message on to my teenage daughters, please? That's not at all the basis on which they operate with me!

I don't know who she is or who took the photo. But she's very striking to me, and the catalogue says the photo was taken in 1900. Since the photos are in the public domain, I snatched them because they seem to reflect a lot of the attitude of my novel.

I recently saw "To Catch a Thief" on TV, had never seen it before and I caught the "bad guy" immediately.

Spoiler above.

We need more avatars ...

I grew up an hour south of Pittsburgh and have family all over Ohio. They were running from the coal mines and steel mills of western PA (like me, but I went to a warmer clime).

I'm real curious how to become a professional awesome. There is a critical shortage here in MD and I would like to fill that gap.

I am not a fan of soccer and own no shin guards, so I would guard your trust (and my shins) tenaciously.
Glad to be here.
Dave

At 6:44am on April 10, 2007, Eliza Tucker said…: I loved The Alienist the most, even though the ending seemed a bit weak to me. I really enjoyed what he did with Watson in The Italian Secretary, and I love his prose (he writes 19th century better than the 19th century writers), but I didn't find it true to Conan Doyle. I really enjoyed it just the same. But I'll take old New York any day!
