Great podcast Meg!
Both Tanya Eby Sirois and Susan Ericksen were awesome choices as readers. I am currently reading Watermind by M.M. Buckner and on occasion I have to remind myself the main character is CJ Reilly and not Evan Delaney. Did you have any say in who read your books and and have you listened to them read by these readers?

Thanks, guys. Alice, I'm glad you've enjoyed the audiobooks of my novels. I agree about Tanya and Susan. They're wonderful readers. The terrific folks at Brilliance Audio arrange for readers, and I couldn't be happier.

Meg Gardiner I had a great time at Bouchercon. About 1600 people attended, and I think I shook all their hands. This morning a hundred authors took part in the Book Bazaar. My books sold out in 20 minutes - profits to a local literacy charity, so hooray. Adios, Indianapolis!

Trying to decide whether to go to Bouchercon or not. It's only a couple of hours away from Chicago. Guess, I'd better decide quickly.

Meg Gardiner What happens when a thriller writer and a romance novelist get together for dinner? I'm meeting up with my friend Sharon Kendrick - I'll let you know whether we come up with a killer love story, a racy chase scene, or maybe just a mean, hot cup of coffee.

Jeff, have you replaced the minion who got whacked with a double shot between the shoulder blades? I hate to think of you having to fetch your own coffee.

I just listened to all five Evan novels, one right after the other. I LOVED them (and the reader is fantastic!) Now on to Jo. Thanks for the nail-biting suspense; it makes my daily drive much more exciting!!
