I want to thank you for signing what little I had of yours left and I still think that you don't look a day over 50!! Just kidding...you and are are both 39. You for the first time and me for the 16th! I spoke to J.D. Singh and he said the signing at Sleuth went great. I hope that the signing at BEC was also fun for you. Please take care of yourself on the rest of your trip and remember that you and I always do better in bars!<BR/><BR/>Sign tons of books on the west coast and enjoy your all-to-brief vacation in the Caribbean and have a Dalwhinnie for me.<BR/><BR/>All the best always,<BR/><BR/>Al Navis<BR/>(never to do another Bouchercon!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348067995039704431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-20300911434363398072007-05-28T15:51:00.000-07:002007-05-28T15:51:00.000-07:00How delightful to read your blog.

I'm just about to go upstairs to crack open The Unquiet and the next time you're doing a signing in Dublin I really must get you to sign Bad Men which is one of my very favourite books.fatmammycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307960277363243051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-67561886290842280892007-05-25T08:21:00.000-07:002007-05-25T08:21:00.000-07:00Greetings from Scarborough, Maine!

Dave touched his hand and guessed school teacher. He is actually an undertaker! You'd think Dave would have seen that one coming from a mile away. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what The Bird is up to now. I tell everyone to read your books. They're like a travelogue of town. I like to tell people that more people die in the parking lot of Ferry Beach than are killed in the whole State of Maine in a year! Great stuff. Please don't retire The Bird. When are you going to make these books into movies?

Sitting here on my 34 birthday tried to read the unquite, after putting up a wendy house, swing and blowing up (manually) a ball pool, for my baby daughter Maggie who is 1 today and born on the same day as me.<BR/><BR/>I browse the forums, and could not forget the boat race in front off me in the queue.

How random is it that were both called Mike and stood next to each other in line. Spooky. Are you the Mike JC thought i was?

Even in the library they don't make exceptions for book signings, apparently!<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for signing the rest of my collection anyway, it was fairly cool of you. I would have killed to have been down there chatting with you and the rest of the fans; and it doesn't really help that my best mate and my mum managed to do it instead!<BR/><BR/>But thanks again for being cool (and remembering my name from signing to signing, that was a brilliant touch!). I'd email you personally for this, but I suppose a comment will do. If you wanna reply it's Ross(dot)birkett(at)gmail(dot)com. Perhaps.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>~RossWV_Angronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872890618506391735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-43564677170170631082007-05-15T09:51:00.000-07:002007-05-15T09:51:00.000-07:00After all that running around you probably don't w...After all that running around you probably don't want a 'are you coming to...?' question, but after your excellent talk at the Edinburgh book festival last summer, are you returning this year?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113179650302872898noreply@blogger.com
