Me no suck. Buenos Aries, Sully? I recall getting emails from Dave when he was somewhere in the Aegean Sea. Never been further than Toronto. My nieces are old enough that I'm a background character, and so when my dad is gone (fingers crossed I'm first), I'm on the open road. I can't tell you about traffic jams. One of the advantages of trains and buses. I knew Loren didn't live in Detroit proper, I meant more that he WROTE about Detroit. As opposed to a guy in Alabama writing a book set in Manitoba. I do love me my Amos Walker mysteries. Sunava—, my avatar came up, first try. Me no suck. Buenos Aries, Sully? I recall getting emails from Dave when he was somewhere in the Aegean Sea.

But then, I get very little time to read for enjoyment, so I've missed some truly iconic figures. And the ones I do revere, most other people don't know, it seems. As for big cities, I've lived in a few. Born in Detroit, actually, but lived in Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, New York and others for a relatively short periods, and I'm in the northwestermost burb of the Twin Cities now. Then, too, I've driven through Chicago -- does that count as living there, seeing as how the traffic jams keep you locked in just shy of eternity? BTW, Loren Estleman lives outside Whitmore Lake on 120 acres, where he was born. Detroit is a sortie for him. Hunter gave you good advice, methinks. And yeah, winter is huffing at the door. :-) I intend to spend a good chunk of it on skis in the woods... -- Sully Never had the pleasure, re: Harry.

I think you need to live in a big city, because Estleman really gets Detroit right. I've never been there, but I bet I could get around. Sully, were you aware of Harry's stuff? Dave met him at Beth Massie's place, Harry and I took USAir to Pittsburgh and then a prop flight to Staunton VA. Evan Hunter gave me a lot of confidence in the early 90s (I interviewed him for MYSTERY SCENE), one time telling me to keep writing about Chicago like it was a character and not a city. I've never stopped. Bet its getting like winter up in MN. Hey Dave & Sully. I think you need to live in a big city, because Estleman really gets Detroit right.

I've only known one or two people who have the extreme skill you have of being a walking encyclopedia of trivia, and -- more importantly -- being the definitive chronicler of their time and place in the universe. (One of them BTW is my buddy Loren Estleman.) Magic stuff; write on... -- Sully Wish they could parse your genome, Wayne.
