Yes, I do own a candy-apple red sportscar I'm driving these days -- and don't weep for Velma, she and I have had quite the experiences driving around in that car...I could write a book about all that...and perhaps I will.

Thanks so very much for your kind wishes and all the wonderful support that I've enjoyed during my tenure here. <br /><br />However, Leigh's report of my demise is somewhat premature, as I've two postings left in the chute. Sorry, but I'm not leaving till I'm done. Besides, I need your help and won't go unless I get it--you'll see what I'm ranting about in tomorrow's blog.David Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005457506363262838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-86386385194911125562013-02-17T23:16:43.776-05:002013-02-17T23:16:43.776-05:00PS

They are two excellent writers, and were great fun to work alongside. They also provided GREAT creative input at times, for which I’ll be eternally grateful. I sure hope they stay in touch, and visit often. And, I wish them the best of fortune!<br /><br />On a related note, I need a new handkerchief, because I had to loan mine to our secretary, Velma, so she could dry her sniffles and…er, uh … I don’t really want that one back anymore.<br /><br />WELCOME ABOARD! to Terence Faherty and Brian Thornton. I believe I know who you are, and all I can say is: WOW! Your work is fantastic. Great to have you with us, and I can’t wait to read your posts.<br /><br />--DixonDixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-20844506201375697282013-02-17T14:10:02.880-05:002013-02-17T14:10:02.880-05:00I agree with Thelma and like John, I'd say I&#...I agree with Thelma and like John, I'd say I'll miss my "old friend" Deborah except we know she's not old!

I also sometimes go to book signings in what we refer to as my Callielac, which is a Corvette. If Callie made better money, she'd drive some high-dollar sports car.

Can't wait to read David's next novel, and I wish Deborah the success I'm sure she'll have in her classes! BTW, Leigh, a lady needs a sporty car to get her to and from classes.

It's available at http://queen.spaceports.com/New.html <br /><br />I think that ebooks work very nicely for fair play whodunnits. The search feature, which Leigh references, allows the reader to search back to where a name or phrase was first used in the volume -- a valuable tool in keeping track of clues. Also helpful is the ability to leave bookmarks and notations at crucial points in the story.Dale Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553503281187956955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-64509611360519512142013-02-17T08:36:39.786-05:002013-02-17T08:36:39.786-05:00As I read this my heart was warmed by the remembra...As I read this my heart was warmed by the remembrance of so many American crime writers who have given me and millions of colleagues so much pleasure for so many years!
