Anyone can love a perfect place. Loving Baltimore takes some resilience.
thinking facts generations
I think I'm part of a generation of crime writers all of whom woke up independently and recoiled with horror at the fact that we'd chosen this very conservative genre.
singers taste female
As for music, my tastes are eclectic. Elvis Costello is my all-time favorite. I listen to a lot of jazz, primarily the great female vocalists, and I am very fond of the late cabaret singer Nancy Lamott.
people good-intentions dangerous
There was nothing more dangerous than people convinced of their own good intentions.
reading healing teens
Reading was not a fallback position for her but an ideal state of being.
real book serendipity

eye writing mcdonalds
The competition for the future of crime fiction is fierce, as it should be, but don't take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He's wily, talented and-rarest of the rare-a true original. He writes melancholy poetry that actually has melancholy poets wandering around, but don't turn your backs on them, either. I am always eager to see what he's going to do next.
