i am not one to gush ...but i finally scored a copy of BURY ME DEEP..which means i have most of your books..i think you are a godsend to the world of Hard-Boiled Noir...your novels always surprise me with the strength of the Characters and the delicious twists of Plot (never mind fate)...keep on writing, you!

FYI: Your panel discussion with Eddie Mueller at Bouchercon last week was the best one I attended...Bravo.

I just heard a passionate recommendation of The Song is You from someone at Murder by the Book. It's a pleasure to find you're also an LT Author. :)
