Thanks for the kind words, Jeri. Currently I'm drifting somewhere between reality and denial, but I'm enjoying every second. :-)

Your new book sound very interesting. I look forward to when it is released. I will post a review on my blog and the mystery lists I belong to.

Jeri,
I obviously failed to do the after manuscript work. I really think that your process is the smart way to go. Thank you so much for the advice. I'm heading to the NYT bestseller list as soon as I finish here.

Hi Jeri
Congratulations on your first release. Best of luck to you.

Hi Jeri

I'm fascinated by your very different protagonists and story lines! Good luck with Veil of Lies.

Well, there you go. We at LIMCON can assure you that each and every person at the conference truly and sincerely wants to be your friend. Honest. No foolin'.

Congratulations on your book deal! I love reading about the medieval period. Best of luck!

Congrats on the St. Martin's deal! I have a book coming out with them next year, too.

They know how to throw a good party too - the one at Bouchercon in Madison was fun, and that was before I knew anybody there.

I don't know this particular cat but I would like to train mine to do something. But I think, considering, it would be the dishes, not smoking the neighbors.

Loved your member photo. I have a cat with a much similar personality. :)

They always seemed to need to fill space so I gave it to them. And the money wasn't bad for locals (of course I worked for three at the same time, making sure there was no conflict of interest).

Lucky you, Jeri - they only give me 700 words to play with. My problem has NEVER been coming up with that amount. It's alway trying to figure out what to cut out.

But the pay is worth it... HA!!!

It's annoying, really. I try not to be a bad girl, but I am also trying to promote myself. Do I really need to have another blog? I only do it to get the word out. If I can't do it here...
