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.

Hey, good news! Thanks for the teaser.
And as I get older, time blurs by ... I'm sure it will be April before I know it. After all, it's already August tomorrow, which seems impossible.
Yea!
Thank you, Robert and ccr in MA!
I check this blog weekly for updates...you are one of my favorites authors, and bones was the first book of yours I read. Can't wait for more Nick...and of course Irene and Frank!
I've just finished all 9 books in the past month an a half. I can't imagine Frank & Irene not in my life everyday....
Thank you, everyone!
Julie, I'm amazed. I'll never be able to keep up with you!
I had the summer off from college studies, Jan. Now back to it Aug. 23.
I'll have to wait until the college break again next summer in May 2011 to read your next 'Irene Kelly' book.
Keep up the great writing!
For the most part my fiction reading will come to an end Aug. 23, Jan. College studies resume.
Great news and I'll be looking to get my copy.

Jan, thought you'd like to see what Burbank's PIO came up with about Goodnight Irene.....David
Can't wait for Irene & Frank to be back!!!
Oh my gosh! I've been waiting since 2006 for another Irene Kelly novel.
I was never a reader. In high school I hated it. But when I finally decided to give it a chance, the first book I read was Bloodlines. Following that, I had to read all the Irene Kelly books out because I was hooked. You've ignited my love for reading, and I now own about 150+ novels. Thank you so much for your stories. I can't wait to read Disturbance.
No matter what genre or characters in other novels I get hooked to, Irene and Frank will always be my favorites. They started it all for me.
Yay!!! I'm ready to read a good book!
Yay!! I'm ready to read a good book.
Can't wait to read the new Irene Kelly book! Irene was one of the strong, female characters that kept me going when I was out of commission for a year and a half with a back injury. In fact, you motivated me to write my own 72,000 word mystery novel, which I just completed! I'm just beginning the marketing stage and need some expert advice on finding a literary agent. I see that you will be at a Sisters in Crime event in Irvine, where I live. I would really appreciate spending a few minutes with you to see if I'm on the right track. I would love to send you my query letter for a quick review and any comments. Thank you in advance for your time.
Jan,
I first met you in Laguna Beach on your first book signing tour. We had a chance to talk and shared our common work experience of working in a factory manufacturing environment. You were living in Sunset Beach and just starting your career. Now you wear success beautifully. I've followed your career and have all your books. Hope to see you next year when on your new book tour.
J'ai
Have read all your books except Nine which I will read next. Just finished The Messenger. Thought it was fantastic, will there be a series? Certainly hope so!
I'm a big audio book reader. I noticed that not many of your books are for audio readers. Any change there are plans to have more of your books for us audio readers
So sorry to be so far behind posting replies here -- posting at all!
Just have a moment before going back to work on page proofs, bit I want to quickly point out that almost all of my books are indeed available as audio books from Recorded Books. I'll have news about The Messenger and Disturbance, the only two not yet available as audio books, soon.
I cant tell you how excited I am to see that you are releasing another Irene Kelly book. I fell in love with this series when I was a Freshmen in highschool. The first book I read was Bones and I was in AWE!!!!!! Im so excited to read your new book!!! Pre ordered it right now!!!!!!!!
