Speaking of positive thinking . . . .

I know this isn't a place for self-advertisement, but since I've shared lots of my pain, and my cynicism, I want to share my good news as well. My book, "The Last Enemy," Soho Press, has been out for a month now, has had excellent reviews, including one "mystery of the month" pick. It's a murder mystery, set in Italy, with a very handsome Italian detective.

Andrea--this should show I was kidding a bit in my reply to your post. It's a five part series and it was purchased a month before I found out I had cancer. I went from flying on air to an operating table. However, I made up my mind that whatever happens, I'll write that fifth book, which means I have to be around for another five years at least, so I suppose I do occasionally have a positive thought.

Anyway if you like a good mystery, you may find it in your public library or . . .
