Sorry to be responding to your c...Hello, Everyone. <br />Sorry to be responding to your comments so late, but I was away visiting my granddaughter.<br />E. B. I'm delighted you liked Giving Up the Ghost so much. I really must write a sequel.<br />Gloria, I'll see you at Malice and will be happy to sign Murder a la Christie for you. That's the only book I'll be bringing, as my other mysteries are all ebooks and not out in paper..<br />KM,<br />Thanks for your kind words. <br />And for yours, Linda. I hope you'll enjoy reading Murder a la Christie.<br />Shari, thank you for reading my story .<br />Warren, I think we writers must be persistent to get recognition. After all, there are so many of us out there.<br />And Jim--thanks for having me as your guest on Writers Who Kill. I hope to see you at Malice.<br />Marilyn Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424778692932139865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-69925743272657830692014-03-29T15:39:46.847-04:002014-03-29T15:39:46.847-04:00Quality does not equate to sales in writing. Ever...Quality does not equate to sales in writing. Every publisher takes a leap of faith when she or he accepts a manuscript from a writer, even from a writer who has the props that you do. I agree with the several comments about persistence. If your manuscript is not out there the magic cannot happen.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-83222816194607616502014-03-29T15:14:59.049-04:002014-03-29T15:14:59.049-04:00Marilyn, your Christie books sounds wonderful - I ...Marilyn, your Christie books sounds wonderful - I will have to check it out.

Will your other books be there, too?<br /><br />Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce mysteries have a 11 year old girl as the protagonist, and they are not YA.

For some reason, everyone assumes that when the main character is a child, the book must therefore be "YA," which I don't think is true. I remember details of your book even now, and I think I read the book over a year ago. Bravo for your fine writing. Keep them coming, and write another ghost book!E. B.
