Lee has the best book on police procedure I've ever read--a must-have for any mystery writer. (Even if you write cozies, your sleuth will have to deal with the police.) And his Writers' Police Academy is a terrific event--as Peg can attest.Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-9519560924733377652010-11-08T18:37:21.456-07:002010-11-08T18:37:21.456-07:00Thank you all.

So don't be confused if you see a book with that name on the cover. <br /><br />By the way, Kelly read it as well and is as impressed as I am with Beth's talent.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-70262332214150423502010-11-08T09:59:08.959-07:002010-11-08T09:59:08.959-07:00OK!

It reminded me of oh-too-many self-pubbed books I'd read that had good bones but poor structure, poor craft, poor editing. But Racing the Devil was none of those things. A terrific book. And I'm ashamed by my initial perception.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-37028225237623469202010-11-08T08:57:36.057-07:002010-11-08T08:57:36.057-07:00So....what was it that made you have your initial ...So....what was it that made you have your initial impression?
