It's a pleasure to have you join MCT Barbara! I so wish I could read a book a day! I'm lucky to fit in a book a week but I am so not a speed reader! I have to take in each and every word! Congratulations on 37 years! That's awesome!


message 1304: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 4 comments Hi, everyone! I love mysteries and try to read as many books as I can when I'm not writing -- maybe a book every two weeks. I especially enjoy "intellectual" mysteries that test my sleuthing skills. Not fond of guts and gore.

message 1307: by Seeley (new)

Seeley James (seeleyjames) I'm not exactly new, I joined too many groups a while back and just recently decided to drop the ones I never keep up with. I'm a mystery/thriller/crime fan and just finished Ghostman (quite good). I love Lee Child, Zoe Sharp, John Sandford, Preston & Child... (endless list)

I noticed the 200+ new members, was something driving that? Was there free-coffeemug-with-sign-up or something? :)


Peace, Seeley

Yes, you must be GREAT!

I write mystery-thrillers, and I review others (plus the occasional punditry).


Peace, Seeley

Pam (ctfemme) | 1 comments Hi everyone,
My name is Pam and I live in Connecticut. My favorite Mystery/Thriller writers are Karin Slaughter, Harlan Coben and Michael Connelly. I have a few others that I enjoy but these are my favorites.

I look forward to participating in the group!


message 1314: by Denniger (new)

Denniger Bolton | 9 comments Howdy to everybody from Denniger in Austin, Texas. I read mysteries and thrillers and have written 4 pretty funny mystery novels which are set in Austin. My hero is B.B. Rivers, a rodeo cowboy, bouncer on 6th Street (A-town's party scene) turned private eye. I'd write more if I didn't have to read so much.

message 1321: by Jackie (new)

Jackie Hello everyone! I am Jackie and I live in Massachusetts. P D James is my favourite author, but I read all sorts of mysteries from spy thrillers to historical. I prefer European and Scandinavian settings.


message 1322: by John (new)

John Dolan Greetings, everyone. I'm John, and happy to join the group. My reading tastes are somewhat eclectic, but I do enjoy a good thriller or mystery. I have been known to do the odd bit of writing too (but let's not talk about that here, eh?) :-)


message 1323: by Leigh (new)

Leigh | 6291 comments Hi Jackie, John, and everyone else who had joined the group today.


message 1324: by James (new)

James Thompson (jamesthompson) | 5 comments Hi, I'm James Thompson (Jim to friends). I'm an American but considered a Finnish author internationally. I've lived in Helsinki for fifteen years. I've written some others, but only my Inspector Vaara series: Snow Angels; Lucifer's Tears; Helsinki White; and Helsinki Blood are available in English. The series was Edgar nominated, has been nominated for quite a few other awards, and been on a bunch of 'best of' lists. My hobbies include shrinking, invisibility, and teaching my cat to not do tricks.


message 1325: by Leigh (new)

Leigh | 6291 comments Welcome James. I like your hobbies. I've tried flying, but the wind has to be just right. Great to have another author join the group too.

I tried flying as a kid. Umbrellas, sheets, a big kite. Nothing worked, and jumping of the roof of the garage hurt. Maybe if I had just tried somewhere higher, to give the wind a chance to lift me? Something to consider. A new hobby?

I never tried those. It has always been me and my trusty broom. As for my cats, they are off on a retreat at a monastery up in the hills til Monday, so I will have someone else to play with.

I also tried kitten throwing from the top of the stairs to see if they really always land on their feet (age 4). They don't.

Hi, Wendy. Manchester, eh? Are you a red or a blue or are you too sensible for that sort of nonsense? :-)

I'm actually in Wigan so it has to be Wigan Athletic and Wigan Rugby League, not very sensible at all!
