I'll be at Poisoned Pen on March 11th. Be nice to see you.

Hi M.G. from L.J.
I don't read nearly enough either. Not from lack of desire though. If I were independently wealthy, I'd spend every winter on the beach in Playa Del Carmen doing nothing but reading. (That is such a happy thought!)

Thanks for the add on. What's the deal with the scorpions? ..or shouldn't I ask?

Thanks for the add. I've always enjoyed your blog comments.

I'll see your flying scorpions and raise you a limes-disease encrusted deer tick.

Just dropping by to say "Hi!" M!

(Now, that was hard to punctuate. Technically, there should be a comma before "M." But can't the first exclamation point serve in the comma's place? Hm. Maybe not. Probably should have just used a comma instead, anyway. I use far too many exclamation points!)

Very nice to meet all of you. Scorpions aren't such a problem since I put sticky tape at all the entrances.

Flying cockroaches? Scorpions?

We're so much more civilized in NM.

Of course, there was the time I met a man whose entire left side of his face was swollen.

He'd spotted his toddler about to pick up a scorpion and rushed to smash the animal with a flip-flop. The venom flew back into his face. It looked horrible.

And, yes, you do have a lovely smile.

Hello M.G., it's a pleasure to meet you and be your friend.

Hi M.G., thanks for the invite! Humorous commercial fiction ... I love that!

Hi there, thanks for inviting me to be a friend. Now what's this about Magical Realism…Hmm, sounds awesome. I’ll have to check it out.

Humorous commercial fiction. Mostly. My cats eat the scorpions. Seen 'em run down a palmetto bug or two also.

heh heh. Cause I don't write crime fiction, Kathy. My presence assures nobody can call the group exclusive.

I can handle the flying cockroaches, Mike. It's the wall climbing, ceiling suspended scorpions that sometimes send me over the edge.

Hi MG. Phoenix, huh? I lived there for about 5 years til 115 degree summers and cat-sized cockroaches got the better of me.

Thanks for the add.

Ken's a really nice man, Jack. And pleased to know you, Kathy!

Any friend of Ken Bruen is a friend of mine

Most fabulous smile? My head totally exploded. It'll take me hours to get the globs off the wallpaper.

Just had to drop by and see what the girl with the most fabulous smile on all of Crimespace is about. "Humorous commercial fiction where people sometimes get killed" works for me! Hi, Mindy! Nice to meet you.

Hi MG, thanks for adding me!
