Yup, Dubai. <br /><br />Good grief.

Beautiful, difficult to get to (andescape from)--it could be like an Agatha Christie guests-in-a-mansion homage. <br /><br />I'mcstill in DC at the RWA convention--it's amazing and hilarious..2000 people. All reading. Got to love it. And JAnet Evanovich was the main speaker. SHe was honest and charming and inspirational. I was an unabashed fan, and sidled up for a photo. I wouldn't be doing this if not for her, right?Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91527161948664274672009-07-17T13:45:37.687-04:002009-07-17T13:45:37.687-04:00Hey, Amazon sent me notice of your book this morni...Hey, Amazon sent me notice of your book this morning because I buy other mysteries from them. My cousin has lived and entertained in Vegas since he quit touring when his band all got married--thirty years? Even he leaves there in summer! LOL.

She was most gracious about answering all my questions -- "What trees bloom on the streets in May?", etc.<br /><br />But I didn't like bugging her, so I moved my next one to Orlando, where I live, and found it was even more of a pain. Because it was real, I had to be accurate, and I was writing about a deputy sheriff, so that required all sorts of research.<br /><br />I'm back to made-up towns, but in places I've visited. I have to get over to Ireland, where my daughter is living now! But I don't think I can swing it until I'm big-name enough to write off the trip, which means a contract first instead of after.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-67015112665104783792009-07-17T08:57:15.732-04:002009-07-17T08:57:15.732-04:00Elizabeth, I've never been to Memphis but my p...Elizabeth, I've never been to Memphis but my parents lived in Chattanooga for a while and Tennessee is beautiful.<br /><br />Sheila, I love Philly!

And tattoos do seem to be everywhere these days, even on the most unexpected people.<br /><br />I'm trying for Philadelphia next--it's a city with its own peculiar (I mean that in the best way!) character and charm, it hasn't been beating into the ground by other writers, and I lived and worked there for 15 years, so I know it well.Sheila Connollyhttp://www.sheilaconnolly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-54236602009919681492009-07-17T07:18:45.695-04:002009-07-17T07:18:45.695-04:00My editor picked Memphis for me. :) I'm going ...My editor picked Memphis for me. :) I'm going there later this month.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.com
