What is a galley proof? It is the final layout document of a book, with everythi... read more »

Beth, I am going to read 
after I finish Magnificent Obsession. I finally get to use a book of yours in the Seasonal Reading Challenge :)
Beth, thanks for friending me! (I think we met at Malice Domestic?) See you around the Cozy Mystery group!
Hi Beth, I must be moving up in the world. I'm finding you everywhere I go. Thanks for the shining light to light my way. Terry
Hi, Beth,A pleasure to meet you. The Epsilon Eridani Alternative sounds completely out of this world, no pun intended, which is just how I am, so I look forward to reading it :)
Jeri wrote: "I look forward to reading your books. The Deadly Currents sounds so exciting. I will add to my read list."Thanks so much, Jeri!
I look forward to reading your books. The Deadly Currents sounds so exciting. I will add to my read list.
Hi Beth,
Thanks for the friend request. I have put your first book on my to-read list for it looks very interesting. If there are other books that you really like feel free to message me. I am always looking for new authors to read.
I see that you have read some of Tim Cockey's books. He is an old college friend of mine. I did enjoy the Hitchcock series. He is now writing under the name of Richard Hawke. I do not care so much for this series. A little bit too violent, sicko type characters. I have read your basket books and enjoyed them very much. Will you be writing another in the series?
Thanks for the friend request. Your book A Real Basket Case sounds interesting and I've added it to my TBR.
Hey Beth,Check out a sneak peek of my upcoming 2011 novel, Giving Up the Ghost.
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id...
Also, if you have a literary blog or site and would like to do a review or interview with me for your blog when the book is out, let me know. I'll add you to my list. Just send me a message in my inbox.
Best Wishes!

Thank you for having me as your friend on GoodReads! I'm excited to add your books to my To-reads...a new series is like going on a brand new adventure. :) Thanks again!Best wishes,
Gabi
Hi Beth, thanks for the invite. I think you know my sister, Chris Herndon. That's where I found you on fcebook. She used to be with El Paso Coroners office. Anyway, that's how I came across your profile at Facebook.
Beth, enjoyed all your news and reading about new books - one of the great joys of blogging is meeting new readers and writer (and news about new books :-)
Happy New Year,
Jackie Griffey
Hi, Beth: One of the very best things about being a writer is you meet so many wonderful readers and writers.
Merry Christmas everyone,
Jackie Griffey
I signed up to your newsletter, I mean, can't beat the possibility of winning a free signed book, right? I'm always looking for some mystery recommendations, so I will definitely add your books to my to read list and try to check them out sometime. : )
Hey beth, thanks for the add.It's always nice to meet people with sinilar tastes. I see you have Lisa See listed as a favorite author. I just finished her novel Shanghai Girls, actually.
Hope things are well.
Thank you for signing up! I am just learning this whole thing on Good Reads. Getting it slowly. Very busy.
Hi Beth, glad to meet you and glad we are friends, I'm on my way over to your website to see what's up. Blessings, Elise
Hi Beth! Thanks again for the add. I'm happy to be your friend both here and in real life as well. :-)
Hi Beth,
sorry I missed your comment - for some reason I'm not receiving updates by email any longer. IDK - but anyway - thanks for the comment and for the friendship. Have a great day,
Dorlana
Hi Beth:It's an absolute pleasure to meet you! I'll check in with you again soon!
Happy Reading & Writing,
Lisette
I've tried a few of Goldy's recipes (Diane Mott Davidson's catering mysteries), especially the desserts and cookies. Also, I love the cookies that Diane makes herself and gives away at her book signings. Has anyone else gone to one of her signings and had one of her cookies? Yummy!
Thanks for the invite. Have you ever tried any of the recipes in the "Goldy" books? I love giving them a try.
