And Francesca, not a super star--the pay was paltry!<br /><br />White Horse--love your comment about the potty. I never thought of it that way probably because it is tiny and my big #$% would not fit.<br /><br />Laura--what an honor for you to correspond with the famous Dick Francis.<br /><br />Lori--thanks for the book suggestions. I think I will try both authors. Would you recommend any particular title?Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-41672864249404877232012-04-23T14:06:33.468-07:002012-04-23T14:06:33.468-07:00I looked at that picture and thought "aha, a ...I looked at that picture and thought "aha, a special potty for the constirpated writer who doesn't want to lose time."White Horse Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256903307281225327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-16073718914282795102012-04-23T10:15:02.536-07:002012-04-23T10:15:02.536-07:00OMG Alison.

Dick Francis was one of my favorite authors and I had a long time correspondence with him. He sent me his novels and I sent him mine, so I have a good collection of signed Dick Francis books. His personal favorite of my mystery novels was Slickrock, my fifth book. He even asked if he could borrow a plot detail I used in that book. I was tickled.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-4225472931787184212012-04-23T06:24:14.004-07:002012-04-23T06:24:14.004-07:00Alison- of course.

It's becoming quite a collection of books!<br /><br />Sorry- had a couple of typos in my recs- Lyndon Stacey - who wrote "Dead Fall" "Cut Throat" "Blindfolded" and "Outside Chance"- all set in England with a steeplechasing/flat racing/ or event riding backgrounds. All on amazon.<br /><br />And John Francone- who has written many novels, all horse racing related mysteries and like Dick Francis, was a former jockey. He has 25 horse-related mysteries in and out of print. <br /><br />Just two names I went to after I finished reading all of the late Mr. Francis's novels (who was wonderful, and yes, I could see the 'woman's touch' of his wife on his writing- Felix as a collaborated isn't as good, IMHO).Lori Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819760106172478167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-15039986974159972662012-04-23T04:41:08.116-07:002012-04-23T04:41:08.116-07:00Lori--I hope you saved some of your old Linda Crai...Lori--I hope you saved some of your old Linda Craigs and Nancys. Someday they may be worth money.<br /><br />I know Dick Francis' books well (did you know his wife wrote many of them with him?) but need to check out Stracey and Francone. Thanks for the suggestions.<br /><br />Linda -- all those books I've written only mean one thing--I am OLD!Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-4863154060501857482012-04-22T21:06:57.088-07:002012-04-22T21:06:57.088-07:00Alison - I had no idea you'd written that many...Alison - I had no idea you'd written that many books. Wow. Good for you! Obviously good practice, because Shadow Horse and Whirlwind are both very absorbing. I loved them both.<br /><br />And the wicker potty. Gads - can you imagine being strapped into that thing? Oh well, maybe they gave them a book to read - hahaha.Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-16867237411832349272012-04-22T17:40:16.358-07:002012-04-22T17:40:16.358-07:00As a horse crazy kid in the 80s I bought every boo...As a horse crazy kid in the 80s I bought every book that had a horse on it- from Linda Craig to #8 of Sweet Valley High to the Nancy Drew novels. It's only later I realized there were ghost writers involved- but now I'm just chuffed to know you wrote both my favorite Linda Craig novels *and* the #109 Nancy Drew. Bravo! <br /><br />Now as an adult- I still re-read Dick Francis, I branched out into Lyndon Stracey, and now enjoying John Francone. I love a good well-paced mystery too!Lori Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819760106172478167noreply@blogger.com
