Has It Happend to You Yet?

When I started down the writing path, it never occured to me that strangers might recognize me. But, that's what happened yesterday. A lady I never met stopped me in a parking lot to tell me she recognized from a news article on a book release. She congratulated me on the book and continued on her way.

I was speachless.

Has this happened to you yet?

A Little BHP

We interrupt our regularly schedule blog post to bring you this late-breaking news. The second review for Mark's sci-fi novel, The Resqueth Revolution, is in and it's good!

The folks at the Military Science Fiction web site interviewed Mark and reviewed Resqueth.

Those of you who followed Mark's blog tour may remember the first review of The Resqueth Revolution (from Unwriter Ron Berry) was quite a rave.

Still not convinced this book is for you? Read the first chapter on YouPublish.

Are you wondering what BHP stands for? That's Blatant Husband Promotion.

Texas Mystery Writers

In honor of Texas Mystery Month, I thought I'd list some of the Texas writers whose work I've enjoyed. I'd love for you to use the comments to introduce me to the work of other Texas mystery writers. Today's post is about Texas writers. On Friday we'll talk about books and stories set in Texas.

Here's my list:

• Susan Wittig Albert - especially the China Bayles series
• Chris Rogers - the Dixie Flanagan books
• Mark H. Phillips
• Gayle Wigglesworth
• Earl Scaggs
• Christy Craig (really writes romance, but the romance revolves around a mystery)
• Laura Elvebak
• Cherri Galbiati
• Nevada Barr (lived in Texas for a while, I think, while a park ranger in the Guadalupe Mountains) - the Nevada Barr series
• Patricia Highsmith
• Betty Gordon
• Rick Riordan
• Sylvia Dickey Smith
• Steven Saylor - lives in Austin, writes mysteries that take place in ancient Rome
• Kinky Friedman

I'm sure there are more Texas mystery writers out there. Who are your favorites?
