When I heard the news from Fort Hood last Thursday, my heart sank. Not only because of the terror and grief visited on this community of soldiers, but because of the undeniably Muslim name of the man accused...

Laurie; Hasan is not a terrorist because of his religion or nationality; he is a terrorist because of what he believed and what he did. The terrorists who flew jets into buildings were Muslims. The terrorist who blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City was a Christian. Did they have twisted thinking? Yes, but they are still terrorists. And from the reports that are coming out Hasan's twisted beliefs of the Koran led to terrorism. Hence he is a terrorist.

There are as many styles of writing as there are writers—and I don’t mean the words on the page; I mean how they get there. I have writer friends who work set hours, every day without fail, year around, as if they were clocking in at a warehouse or office. I...

It isn’t often I laugh aloud in a silent house, but I challenge you to read this review without snorking your tea out across the keyboard.

I find it very reassuring that someone else found "Love You Forever" to be creepy. I think that the mom should have given up on the habit once her kid moved out.

That was fantastically crazy, I loved the entire shift in perspective, shall never think of that dear book in the same way again.

Almost as long as there have been Sherlock Holmes stories, there have been ardent readers commenting on the stories, speculating on the Conan Doyle chronology, indulging in genteel (for the most part) arguments over the minutiae of time, place, and technique...

This confirms my idea that most people playing The Game say more about themselves than the characters they hide behind. Thus we know Ms King and like her without ever meeting her. Thus we know Baring-Gould was a little cracked. (I mean really! Nero Wolf?) And thus, David.

I'm really pleased that Poisoned Pen is going to keep all the video and audio from the conference on the website for up to a year. It will give me time to absorb it all.

I remember reading about this early on. I'm glad it worked out technologically and all other ways.

Friday in Indy, lots of business gets done. People who come to BoucherCon primarily as readers (the “fans”) may not be aware that the Con is also a trade show, with writers as the manufacturers of product. My...

So: Indy. Drive; wait; fly; wait; fly; drive; wait; check in. Exhaustion, although my West Coast clock insisted it was only four in the afternoon. The hell with West Coast clocks, I don’t do lagging time zones: it’s seven p.m. an...

Where can you sit in comfort and listen to: Dana Stabenow; Nevada Barr; Peter May; Leighton Gage; Laurie King (interviewing Lee Child and their Bantam editor, Kate Miciak); Ruth Dudley Edwards; Vicky Delaney and a host of others? I’m talking about BoucherCon this week in Indianapolis, right? Nope. ...

Lorrie Love your Marry Russell books. Found the 1st years ago and have been a fan ever since. Started reading them though again for the 3rd time. Gets better every time!

Writing is widely regarded, I am often startled to discover, as inherently cool. As a person who spends her days muttering to herself in a book-padded room (although rarely in pajamas) I need reminding of the exotic caché of Being a Writer....

The "engorgement" remark had my laughing! That's exactly what I think when I see Playboy women, their breasts often look like they hurt!

likes to torment uptight aspiring writers with something I learned years ago: the highest pay rate, per word, use to be from Playboy. Also, that a little known author by the name of Ian Flemming entered the consciousness of the U.S.A. by being published in Playboy.
