Where was that taken?<br /><br />I'm intrigued by your talking about love and then warning us that your book's not a romance. Suspense, you said?

I had the pleasure of reading Strays of Rio and if Crumple Zone is half as good, you'll have a winner.<br /><br />I read a lot of books, and some stick in my mind for a long time, and I still think of the depth you gave your characters. Some were people we wouldn't want to hang around with, but...we still rooted for them. Vigilante justice, I guess has an appeal for the right reasons.<br /><br />I enjoyed your interview.Leona~Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402887334910900186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067896649152086022.post-21996719923611992062013-05-01T23:28:08.416+10:002013-05-01T23:28:08.416+10:00Right, Wendy, I'm such a martyr to put up with...Right, Wendy, I'm such a martyr to put up with traveling to harvest new stories. ;-)<br /><br />Hm, the Guinness stew sounds nice, Pat.Edith Parzefallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861941454295101808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067896649152086022.post-39963832358583568652013-05-01T22:17:13.901+10:002013-05-01T22:17:13.901+10:00Edith, if an interview is this entertaining, your ...Edith, if an interview is this entertaining, your stories must rock!
