Have just looked on amazon - nice colours but not sure what it is supposed

to be ! (Nothing personal )

I am always on the look out for crime authors that I havent read before and

will definately read yours. I'm a bit of a crime novel *junkie* but there

don't seem to be enough to satisfy my cravings !

I thought detective/forensic scientist novels were big sellers what a pity

you have to change.

It's *meant* to be 3 hooded figures, but they look like salt cellars

to me (

If you want to read mine start with the first in the series Dark

Tapestry. I would strongly recommend you *don't* order them from

amazon; even tho I'd like to be higher up their sales ranking,

ordering from them takes forever, as it isn't in their stocks. Either

order it from www.feldheim.com (the main distributors) or phone a

bookshop in NW London called Torah Treasures and they'll

send it to you quickly.

Crime novels *are* big sellers in the mainstream market where there is

room for every genre side by side. The problem is, I ain't writing

for that market atm, and the Jewish market is tiny in comparison, and

mainly goes by the most popular genre all round at that time. There

isn't *room* for dozens of different genres. I would like to think

that in a year or so I would be able to write another crime/forensic

novel when they see my 3rd book (which they *have* committed to

publish) sells well! (I hope!) with a really good cover to help it

along. I don't intend to stop forever.

Thanks for the tip. I was going to order from Amazon. I will ring Torah

Treasures when I get back from hols .I always have to be restrained from

ordering things when we are going away, our neighbour is frightfully

diligent and I always get the feeling she has been waiting on the edge of

her seat for us to return.Giving her messages to pass on or parcels to take

in makes her fret, poor love . Last holidays she had closed our gate ( we

rarely do) as the entrance is very narrow DH did'nt notice until he had

almost hit it, screeched to a halt and then held up the traffic for a full 5

mins whilst I wrestled with the rusted bolts !

Methinks will have to remind her not to do it again and then fetch her a

nice pressy to make up for all the worry we cause her!!!

Back in a couple of weeks )))
