My son-in-law sent this book to see what I thought about it. His friend, Bill Moloney, wrote it. What did I think? It wasn't what I expected. I thought Moloney would write about the nuts and bolts, the guts and blood, of a true-life CSI. There's all o ...more |

Hi, Betsy!Thanks for becoming a fan. I appreciate it.
Best, Alexandra
C.J. HeckHello Betsy,
It's such a pleasure having you for a friend. I am looking forward to reading your work! Thank you and best wishes to you.
Warmest regards,

Okay, what is my kitty doing on your web site??? We share fawn-colored kitties and keyboards frequently covered with fur and pawprints.
Hi Betsy,Thank you for the friend invite. I am always eager to meet new people, especially ones that love cats. You should check out the page on my website by my cat. She is a very amusing writer. ;)

I did so by limited the sites where I'd participate: FB, Goodreads, LinkedIn and Twitter, although I don't really think I use Twitter to its advantage. Glad I jump-started you to get more involved with Goodreads. I'll check out your author page.Betsy
Betsy, thanks for the friend invite on Goodreads. I have been shamefully lacking in participating on Goodreads despite the fact I knew I should have been on it. I tried to put my first book on there but then I lapsed. I've self pubbed three novels since then under two names but I've restrictd my marketing to the readers I already have emails for. I've talked to writers who have used goodreads correctly, so I know what I shoudl be doing. But I've had a hard enough time just writing what i've written and there's so much more I want to do. I keep promising myself I'm going to spend a few days just diving into goodreads and updating my info. Your invite served as a reminder. thanx. and I hope your writing efforts have been as much fun, and more successful, than mine have been.bill marden
Hi Betsy,Thanks for sending a Goodreads friend request to this fellow mystery author!
I have a wonderful interview in Smith Mountain Eagle written by Rebecca Jackson. She introduced me and my character to about 10,000 readers around the lake...http://www.smithmountaineagle.com/soc...
I was really touched by this review from Sally Roseveare, author of the Smith Mountain Lake Mystery series. I think she liked Mad Max. http://smithmountainlakemysterywriter...
Hi Betsy! It's great to connect with you here! Looking forward to reading your reviews and recommendations. It should be fun!
