No, you are correct, I am indeed an American. I was just studying in Paris. However, the school year is over, and I am back in the states. Paris was indeed beautiful!

I have trouble finding a place to put all of my own books, but I bet your problem is much more pronounced than mine, with all of those books you own. :)

Sorry on the invite not working. I messed up on it, I think. Thanks for your message.
Ed Gorman blurbed my second book. He's a great guy and writer. My P.I. guy is
Frank Johnson out now with Pelham Fell Here. My P.I. gal Sharon Knowles is out
with a collection of short stories, A Clear Path to Cross. I've slacked off on
my reading. Maybe I'll find a short title from Hard Case Crime to get me kickstarted.

Good reading,

Ed

Thank you for the note. I know exactly what you mean--where does a person find the time to upload everything? I'm not finished myself, either. You do have quite an interesting collection. :)

I got my cute little Dalek from http://leelakin.livejournal.com

I have several copies of Doom to Dawn that I obtained from a bookstore liquidation. Several Amazon sellers have the book, I assume from similar circumstances. It even has a sales ranking, which means at least one copy was bought there. I've yet to read it, but I hope I find time to -- it looks interesting. That bookstore purchase of mine included no small number of titles of Judaica.

Nice to "meet" you :) I don't belong to that many groups (compared to some, anyway) and most of them are very quiet. TTFN --Jane
