The name thing is funny--I agr...Hey, welcome, John. The name thing is funny--I agree...from my standpoint, I often wish I didn't have a man's name. "Ryan" sometimes puts me by Rozan, lovely company. But usually the R's are in the shelf-netherworld. Oh, to be a C.<br /><br />Anyway---more important--I am SUCH a fan of your books! Forgive the fan-girl blathering, but your books are on my list of instant-buys--I happily scoop up the new one even if I have no idea what it is.<br /><br />I love the relationships, the family conflicts, the care and concern characters have for each other--the people in your books absolutely come to life. And the plots are terrific--they're fair, and logical, and clever and original.<br /><br />Oh, dear, I promised myself I wouldn't gush. But impossible not to--you are truly truly one of the authors I use as a touchstone of how mystery writing should be.<br /><br />Okay, stopping.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-41637716958536986212011-09-08T10:05:42.046-04:002011-09-08T10:05:42.046-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-24340081650758785342011-09-08T10:04:42.376-04:002011-09-08T10:04:42.376-04:00Oh John, that's a horrible story about the boo...Oh John, that's a horrible story about the bookseller directing readers to LeCarre! No one has a clue what to do with "Isleib" either, so it will be interesting to see what happens with Burdette:).<br /><br />I loved reading your story because it's so clear how hard you've worked and studied and then how it all came together. Finally.

I've joked that I only married Mr. Harris so that I would be in between Charlaine and Thomas on bookstore shelves instead of down in the S's with my less memorable Italian name. He doesn't think that's funny.<br />As a (lapsed) good Catholic girl I wondered about the Dismas connection and appreciated reading about your epiphany re bigger themes.<br />Judging by this interview I think there's little chance of you turning into a self-important jerk - 14 NYT bestsellers...so far.Rosemary Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033747422699443024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-74638070316532768752011-09-08T08:44:16.843-04:002011-09-08T08:44:16.843-04:00Great interview.
