This is where your BSP belongs. So tell us all about you - your books - your blogs - your appearances.

Oh. A place dedicated to BSP. That is nice. I'm Vicki Delany. I've written two stand alone psychological suspense books published by Poisoned Pen Press, Scare the Light Away (2005) and Burden of Memory (2006). In Sept. I am very excited that PPP is going to release the first in my new police procedural series set in the fictional town of Trafalgar, British Columbia. The book is titled In the Shadow of the Glacier. I see the series as sort of a Hamish Macbeth meets Cindy Decker: a traditional villiage mystery with a modern female cop. Glaicer is currently available for pre-order at Amazon. I blog at Type M for Murder (Http://typem4murder.blogspot.com) and my web page is www.vickidelany.com

Thanks for Author!Author! A place for me to touch on my favorite subject, SILENCED CRY.

SILENCED CRY is my debut novel, the first in the series of Sam Harper Crime Mysteries. Excerpts, reviews, articles, book trailer, and interviews are available on my website, www.martastephens-author.com and on my blogs, http://mastephens2.wordpress.com and http://mstephens-musings.blogspot.com. I"m in the middle of a virtual book tour so you'll find many articles being posted on several sites. The link to the live Internet Voices Radio interview of July 30 is availabe on my site on the "Stephens Interrogated" page. The links to the remaining events on the tour are listed on the Events page of my website. Today's event will be featured in Killer Hobbies, http://killerhobbies.blogspot.com.

Ok! Great idea! And I do this....how? And put it...where? Or am I correct, in looking at previous responses, to assume that is this box I'm typing in at the moment where to do it? I apologize for being so dense but I have long known that, to paraphrase Murphy's law, if anything can confuse me, it will.

I will take the opportunity, whether this is the right place or not, to wave my flag and beat my drums for my latest Dick Hardesty Mystery, The Dream Ender, book #11 in the series. Four of the earlier books in the series have been finalists for a Lambda Literary Award. I'd be pleased to have you stop by either YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ3173brHIk) for the book trailer video, or come by my website (http://www.doriengrey.net) to view the video and read the first chapter of the book. (You can also register for the drawing for a free copy).

And I've got 11 more books to talk about....plus 3 more books-in-progress, which may be a bit more BSP thatn any of you care to be exposed to. Just let me know. I'd love to hear from you at [e-mail] Readers and prospective readers--YOU--are the reason I write, and I need every reader I can get.

And thanks again for the opporutnity to participate here.

I posted this on my blog, but there are a couple of events (mine and another author's) that I want to draw attention to so I've decided to post it twice. :)

Anyway, Memorial Day weekend is here. I've gotten quite a bit done around the house and I hope to get some writing time in too.

It's been just over a year since my crime mystery, SILENCED CRY came out in print. Fortunately, it wasn't affected by the Amazon hoopla that happened a few weeks ago. They've reduced the price on it, by the way, if anyone is interested. ;) If you must have an autographed copy, that can certainly be arranged. ;)

These first five months of the year have been exceptionally busy and exciting for me. I received the contract for THE BLACK PEARL in April (no, it's not about pirates -- it's better LOL). It's scheduled to come out in the fall. I received word from my publisher that I'll be able to take pre-orders for it near the end of summer. More on this later. In the meantime, I've started work on the third book, GRAVE WITNESS which I hope to have out in 2009.

Interestingly enough, while working out a scene in GRAVE WITNESS, a new character emerged. She jumped off the page, got in my face and demanded her own PI series. She's pretty, how should I put it? Forceful ... so I may have to do as she says. Anyone interested in reading her brief back story?

And then ... there is ... the author blog, MURDER BY 4 that I launched at the end of February 2008 along with three long-time friends and Gather members, Aaron Lazar, S. W. Vaughn, and Kim Smith. Several of you are familiar with it. Thanks SO much for stopping by and posting your comments. What started off as a nice little blog to pool our work together has mushroomed into a fantastic network of authors (new and established), publishers, editors, reviewers, and a great collection of writing related articles -- many more to come. I'd love for you to stop by and say hi. May 18th marked our 90 days on the web and we are already past our 3,300 visitor! Amazing! If you're an author (any genre) or have anything to do with the publishing world and would like to be a featured guest, contact me via the MB4 site for a copy of our submission guidelines.

So what's up this summer? I'm really excited that I'm going to meet my friend and fellow Sister in Crime member, Liz Zelvin on one of her book tour stops on June 4 at Borders in Indianapolis (IN). Can't wait to read her new book DEATH WILL GET YOU SOBER.

I submitted SILENCED CRY to a couple of contests, one here in Indiana and another in New York -- won't know the results until laster this summer. If it wins you'll know as soon as I know. Fingers crossed y'all. I've answered questions for a couple of interview. No date yet set for a posting. However, if you happen to be in Indianapolis, IN on August 9, be sure to stop by the Home and Family Arts building on the State Fair grounds. I and several other Hoosier authors will be participating in an authors' showcase where I'll be selling/signing books and hopefully will have a chance to introduce homicide detective Sam Harper to lots of new fans. :)

Here's hoping everyone has a safe and great weekend!

Hi, I'm new here.

I have a blog for my work-in-progress mystery/suspense novel, Hollow Point. The plan is to take the reader through the writing process, the marketing and the sale process.

The blog can be found at http://acehollowpoint.blogspot.com.

Let me know what you think.
