What is this blog about?
I blog here about:
my books and stories, public appearances, and other announcements
forensic science, missing persons, and related criminal justice issues
and whatever else happens to be on my mind.
Who are you? An author, forensic science activist, and cohost of an online radio show.Visit this site for more information than you could want to know.
When will your next book be out? I'm working on a new Irene Kelly novel. Updates here and on my Facebook page.
What have you done for me lately? A series of six mini-anthologies have been published as ebooks. They cost $1.99 each and they each include four stories: a new short story and three stories that previously appeared in Eighteen. The six new short stories that appear in the series include two stories about Irene Kelly as a young journalism student, two about Frank Harriman as a rookie, a story about Tyler Hawthorne of The Messenger, and a story about Bunny Slye, introduced in A Study in Sherlock.
What's the most recent Irene Kelly book? The latest Irene Kelly book is Disturbance
Do you know about the random mention of Ian in that one? Yes. Blogged about that here.
Do you plan to write about Irene again? Yes. Doing that now. And there are short stories about her written since Disturbance

How many times have you heard a speaker do that to a microphone, not quite believing his or her voice was being heard by the audience? You find me in a similar position, and apologizing in advance if I'm as clumsy as that speaker.
This is a place where readers can ask questions and get information about my books and stories, and where I'll be talking about subjects both related and unrelated to my writing.

Yes, congratulations Louise - it was lovely to meet you!
And so great to meet you at long last as well Jan. The panels you mentioned with John Connolly etc and the CLP one with Meg Chittenden and Laura Lippman were fantastic.
Thanks, Sandra -- I appreciate all you do to help spread the word about the CLP!
Jan, I'm late checking the blogs, but I see that, according to the date on this, you're the very first online presence with the Shamus announcement!
Thanks for the shout out. I'm still grinning ear to ear.
Louise
