Thanks for the kind words, Maxine. I feel as if I had just walked in on a suprise party!

Maxine,
Dave caught my eye with a very humerous post the other day. It had me laughing out loud when I needed to find the ability...
Something I think you'd understand.
It was cracking humour and if you'd like the link, please email me. I think you'd find it as I did.
Best wishes,
cfr

Jim, thanks for your comments. I'll be updating my links again this coming weekend and having taken a look at your blog, yours will be the first I mention, if not the only one at this stage...

Thanks particularly for mentioning "professionalism" when it comes to this blog. I blush at the word, but would argue that attention to detail is what counts. Many blogs don't care about accuracy; some do, but wing it in more ways than one; some try hard but make the occasional slip; and the official professional media is no longer what we'd like to believe in, alas. They can get it wrong too.

I try at all times for accuracy. It's what I pursue in the day job so it's like DNA to me. With 20+ years of it, I'm not about to become lax in this approach, God help me!

I am so pleased you have linked to Dave's FW. I very much enjoy Dave's blog, as you say, great humour but also very informed about crime fiction, and Dave himself is charming. I understand that the aforementioned Peter R of DBB encouraged Dave to start blogging, so well done to both of them, and I wish them both a continued long blogging life.

Hi, thanks for the great blog- I look forward to reading it through completely. I just started mine last week- it lacks the professionalism you display, but I'm trying to cover a range of detective/crime fiction and other fiction. I'll put in a link to your site.

I notice that you, or at least a number of the blogs you link to, might be able to give some great answers to the question on Peter Rovesky's latest blog on Detectives Beyond Borders* about which crime fiction needs to be translated into English.
