Thanks for mentioning Laura Lippman, one of the best mystery writers around.

Hi there Leila

first time visiting your site, and have enjoyed it.
I love mysteries and write reviews myself. Hope I win one of the ARCs. ( Maybe Laura Lippman -I have Cemetery Dance?) Will write a review.

HI LELIA!! It’s Sam. I’m glad to see things are up and running! I just made use of the online store! Very exciting. I sent you a letter I hope you got it ok. ALSO I thought you might be interested to know…..I made it to the “in color” season of Dark Shadows and Barnabus is out and about in all his glory!! Hope all is well!

Take care,
Sam

Saw your name on DorothyL today and was glad to find this website. Very sorry to see your store close, but I am glad I still get to read your reviews as well as those of your friends. I’ve been following your recommendations since we first met at Bouchercon in D.C. Good luck in your new venture.

Your friend in Iowa

Dear Danika,

I’m sure I speak for independent bookstores everywhere when I say I truly appreciate this. Far too many small press authors don’t seem to understand that this is a symbiotic relationship and we need each other.

Thank you!

Hi Lelia,

I wandered onto your site today. This makes me sad… I’m starting to campaign for indie bookstores more and more these days. As a matter of fact, I’m doing a book tour this spring and ONLY going to indie bookstores. If I had lived in Richmond, VA I’m sure I would have loved your store.

(I also see you had cataract surgery.. I just went thru the same thing 4 years ago. hope you are adjusting and all went well)

Rosemary, having your book at Crime Wave was a pleasure. Considering how many authors were there, your showing as a new author with a hardcover was quite good. I’m looking forward to Dead Head

We met at VABook in 2008…I was thrilled that you carried my first book Pushing Up Daisies. Much luck with the new gig.

Hi Lelia,

So sorry to hear about Creatures ‘n Crooks, but I’m very happy to see that you’re still in the book biz!!! Best of luck with the new venture.

(We met at last year’s Festival for the Book in Charlottesville.)
