Need to wander on over to Murderous Musings and see what's on your mind. <br /><br />Tim, I can't thank you enough for stopping by and taking the time to comment. What's not to like about any of your books? And Rose's story opened my eyes and my heart exactly the way you had in mind.<br /><br />Tres kewl that you needed a bit of a lift in order to confront the new book. I feel so much better to know those feelings aren't tied to ineptness.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-89716403872681030022010-10-14T11:06:28.446-06:002010-10-14T11:06:28.446-06:00And I can't remember the last time a day start...And I can't remember the last time a day started this well. I got up, pushed my OWN French roast button as Windows booted (and booted and booted) and sat down to see a Google Alert. Followed the link, and here I am.<br /><br />Thank you sooooo much, Peg. I'm really deeply moved. We bang our heads against our stories for so long, telling them to the imaginary listener sitting across the table (or at least, I do) and then they toddle out into the world, and all we can do is hold our breath.<br /><br />This is the kind of reaction that makes me truly happy I decided to do nothing with my life but write. A GIANT lift as I confront the new book, which is presently as inert as Argon.<br /><br />(And it's especially gratifying to me when a woman likes this particular book.)<br /><br />Thanks, Peg.Timothy Hallinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551263887774445511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-64308283054582130072010-10-14T10:57:55.481-06:002010-10-14T10:57:55.481-06:00Peg, I'm so glad you've read and love Tim&...Peg, I'm so glad you've read and love Tim's Poke Rafferty series. I fell in love with it when I read A NAIL THROUGH THE HEART shortly after it was released. I agree with you that the second is the least wonderful of the four, but with Tim's books, that still means pretty darn good.<br /><br />I blogged a review of THE QUEEN OF PATPONG on Murderous Musings awhile back, but the link is about a million lines long, so I can't include it here.<br /><br />Thanks for the great article.Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-76467419123184903452010-10-13T19:27:26.179-06:002010-10-13T19:27:26.179-06:00I can't remember the last time I was this insp...I can't remember the last time I was this inspired.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-87911951462324982942010-10-13T19:21:44.869-06:002010-10-13T19:21:44.869-06:00Your description of Tim's series is as good as...Your description of Tim's series is as good as some of the writing in the books, Peg!jenny milchmanhttp://suspenseyourdisbelief.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-73240304690300216272010-10-13T19:14:19.798-06:002010-10-13T19:14:19.798-06:00Oh, Kaye. Read it, read it, read it! I have now do...Oh, Kaye. Read it, read it, read it! I have now downloaded what I think is the complete Simeon Grist series (earlier than the Poke Rafferty), and am ready to hear the word that his new, wing-spreading, PULPED is out via e-book. If you haven't checked out some of his offerings via his blog (website http://www.TimothyHallinan.com, then click on Blog Cabin) you might get a kick or two out of what he comes up with.<br /><br />I'd been reading great things about Poke Rafferty on DL for a long time, but there's a lot of competition out there, ya know? FINALLY, I got lucky and decided to take the plunge.<br /><br />Dive, dear Kaye.

I can't either!!!! But. I have them on my list of "gotta reads!" I have the first on my iPad and have The Queen of Patpong in my TBR stack. You've just moved them up several notches, thanks very much!Kaye Wilkinson Barley - Meanderings and Museshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486129009717476920noreply@blogger.com
