Your opinion means a lot to me! <br /><br />Hope you'll like it, Meredith.<br /><br />And Catriona you can steal something from me some time :).<br /><br />Susan, paraphrase what you said about having to be bad to be good, as Nick Lowe said in song, sometimes we writers have to be:<br /><br />Cruel to be kind in the right measure,<br />Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign,<br />Cruel to be kind means that I love you,<br />Baby, got to be cruel, you got to be cruel to be kind.<br />Paul D.

I had to kill a sympathetic character in the book that's in revisions now - and, no, I did not revise the character back to life. But I think my editors were a bit put out. Still, it was vital to the business of bringing the crime close in to the protagonist, so there you are. We writers have to be bad to be good...if you get my drift.Susan C Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225627756540127032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-25947252957791150152014-01-17T11:40:22.370-08:002014-01-17T11:40:22.370-08:00Welcome, Paul - even though you stole my ancestral...Welcome, Paul - even though you stole my ancestral birthright of a blog title (which yeah okay, I never thought of yesterday!).

I'd like to hear more about your adventure with the LAPD officers...but perhaps you'd better save that tale for late at night in the bar somewhere (in a country without extradition).Alan Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695574442723430347noreply@blogger.com
