One of my first, and proudest, acts as a published novelist in 1993 was to become a member of MWA. I love this genre, both as a writer and as a reader. I invite you to take a look at my web site, http://www.laurierking.co..., where you can find excerpts, reviews, podcasts, links all over the place, and a signup page for News and Nonsense the newsletter, Mutterings the blog, and the Laurie R. King Virtual Book Club. Have fun!
