Hi Doug, I'm a lurker mostly, who has posted occassionally
over the years. I appreciate the heads up on Holly Lisle. I
remember reading some (humorous?) fantasy of hers a few years
back. It will be interesting to see how she does in the
mystery field. Any idea if it's hard boiled or humorous or
both? I keep remembering Sharyn McCrumb starting off with
Bimboes of the Death Sun, a murder mystery set in a sci-fi
convention. Steven Harbin

A couple years back, I was an occasional poster to the list.
I'm an ENT doc living in Northern California. I write SF, but
I read HB more often than SF because HB tends to be a lot
more fun. (SF these days tends to be deadly earnest -- at
least the stuff I'm buying is).
I recently won a copy of Holly Lisle's Last Girl Dancing. I
don't know if it's hardboiled or not, but it is a murder
mystery. Lisle's best known for her fantasy novels, so it'll
be interesting to see how she fares with a genre
crossover.
More recently, I've been rereading The Big Sleep, and I
finished Lethem's Gun, with Occasional Music not long ago.
Based on the archives, Lethem's book has been covered
thoroughly here.
Good to be back.
