Hi Morgan! You were my first Crimespace friend! Thanks for the warm welcome to the neighborhood!

Hi, Morgan. Was on the short story panel with you at Love Is Murder. Had a great time and looking forward to attending again next year. Great to be your friend.

Thanks for adding me to your list, Morgan. It's been a long time since I lived in Chicago. For the ten years when I was there, I couldn't imagine a friendlier city. The springtimes and summers were great, but those winters ...

Hi Morgan, it's good to meet you. I have a great fondness for Chicago as that's my wife's hometown. She's from the southside, grew up as a White Sox fan but converted to the Cubbies. Me, I'm a Cardinals fan, but still we've managed to get along.

hi Morgan, thanks for befriending me. It's great to meet you.

Hi Morgan, thanks for the friending. And thanks for letting us on 4ma know about this place. (Not that I need another source of recommendations for books I just have to have.)

Hi Morgan- Thanks for the add. Nice to see another MWA member here!

Hey, Morgan, I'm not in RWA, but I'm a member of SinC, so I'm not all bad...lol.

Hello Morgan. Thanks for asking me to be a friend.

Hi Morgan! Thanks for friending me!

Hello Morgan,

I think I saw a YouTube recently that you made at this year's Love Is Murder in Chicago... I was there two years ago and had a great time ...

Best, Pat.

Thanks for finding me here! While my sister was living in Chicago (in Boystown, two blocks from the lakeside), I fell in love with a coffeeshop there named, I think, Intelligentsia. They still to this day sold the coolest oversized travel mugs I've ever seen.

Hi, Morgan. Nice to meet you! You know, slot machines are the only thing I play in Las Vegas. Everything else there scares me. Then again, so do NYC taxi cabs and spiders....

I'm down in Carbondale, so I'd really like to get to know you Chicago crime folk. I hope driving in the city isn't a requirement, though. I took the kids up there for spring break and it took me an hour and a half to get out of the city--and that was with a GPS!

Hi Morgan. Thanks for the invitation.

I agree with your comment. Writing groups, conferences, etc. are really important. Not only do you learn, the friends you make are wonderful. Writers are a great group of people.

Hi, Morgan. thanks for the friendship!

Then you know that belonging to writing organizations really helps. If it weren't for the critiques at my meetings at Chicago-North RWA and if it weren't for going to the Love is Murder conference 2 years ago, I wouldn't have gotten my book published.
