Crimefic - the mysterious photographer was my wife, Aileen, who was in suitably inspired fashion at Pamukkale in Turkey (the ancient site of Hieroapolis), where the legend of Cleopatra bathing in asses' milk was born ...

Is it a cigar, cigarillo or the end of a well smoked More fag? So I clicked on the pic.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm intrigued by who took the pic? (As seen in the reflection in your mirrored shades.) I hope to have a waist like her before I have a birthday that marks the end of this female's current decade's life! Alas, I think it is too late. But I can admire and be VERY jealous!<BR/><BR/>Again, congrats on the shortlist! And best of luck for rising to the top, when the moment comes. If there is at least one good reason for recognition for this blog and for a win, it's this/these:<BR/><BR/>1. Your energy and dedication in daily posting (with some time off, but not always, on weekends - and who can criticise that?). You always have something fresh to read on here.<BR/><BR/>2. The quality of your postings, with your own unique quirky style. <BR/><BR/>3. That quirky style! If I read a link and quote elsewhere that mentions "interweb thingy", "thusly", "to wit", "quoth" etc., I know where it's come from! Here.<BR/><BR/>4. You have a passion for your topic, dear Dec, and this shines through. As does your support for the crime fiction writing community that exists in Ireland especially.<BR/><BR/>I hope you win, because I read you daily here, when I can, and if not then, I'm doing a scanning catch up. Few grab my attention the way you do!<BR/><BR/>Crime Always Pays to win! (Think plackard waving and walking boots: I'm there at the head of the procession.)<BR/><BR/>Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-65306628652532468952008-02-15T11:29:00.000+00:002008-02-15T11:29:00.000+00:00You have to come along, we'll talk about you if yo...You have to come along, we'll talk about you if you don't.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161573337729895608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-70773036986883155112008-02-15T10:35:00.000+00:002008-02-15T10:35:00.000+00:00Ah your terribly nice Declan!
