Drew provided the introduction, and Marcia Muller (author of her own tough-broad protagonist, Sharon McCone) added a preface. The 15 stories included were reproduced from the original magazines in double columns on

B. V. thank you for adding me to your G R friends list.
Zoë wrote: "Hi BV. Thanks so much for Friending me here. How's the writing going with you?" Hey, Zoë! Writing is going a bit better. My father's health started declining in the fall leading to a stint in home hospice and his death in February. It took awhile for me to ease back into things, but writing is good therapy. I enjoy your Murderati posts and the Charlie Fox series, and maybe someday soon you can take some "Author R&R" on my In Reference to Murder blog. Authors offer their take on the research and references they use in their writing. (see http://tinyurl.com/b2vyavy). If you ever have time in your busy schedule, would love to have you drop by! Just let me know your availability at bv@bvlawson.com.
Hi BV. Thanks so much for Friending me here. How's the writing going with you?
Always happy to connect with my fellow scribes!Cheers,
Rai
