Dear Natasha,
My step 2 is full so I can't validate G is for Grafton for you, but if it's
still on step one when I get a vacancy, I'll go for it. I'm hoping someone will
get there first and validate it so it gets in to the collection sooner.
Thanks for putting so much work in to preparing your submission. I love the
Alphabet Murder series and can't wait to read G is for Grafton. I tell everyone
I think Kinsey's taste in clothes is horrible! Too bad I can't be her personal
shopper, but even if she bought cute, stylish clothes, I doubt anyone could get
her to wear them. If she had a health spa, I'd sign up. I need to improve in
getting up early in the morning and exercising like she does. I could have
drive through junk food, or Hungarian food with her for my reward. I wouldn't
want to go to Kinsey's rather spartan apartment and eat there, though, where
the most elaborate meal she fixes is a boiled egg sandwich.
Sue Grafton has written a very touching chapter in Chicken Soup for the
Writer's Soul which I'm validating now. It is moving because Sue Grafton is
living her father's dream. He was a busy lawyer but he started a mystery series
and died suddenly, never having had time to realize his writing ambitions. He
would be so proud of his daughter's long series. She doesn't just churn out
books either, but puts years of careful planning and thought in to each
installment.
Always with love,
Lissi

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Ready to submit a real treat for Sue Grafton fans
Hi fellow Booksharians,
I have finally finished reading and editing "G" Is for Grafton: The World of
Kinsey Millhone. If you're a Kinsey Alphabet Mysteries fan, this book is a real
treat. It's been edited to the hilt (with the exception of a few tables I
couldn't get to scan for the life of me), had headers normalized, and chapter
headings protected. I've put hours into this book but it's been well worth it.
I hope a true Kinsey fan is able to validate it. I'll be submitting it in a few
minutes.
Here is the long synopsis:
In this well cited and extraordinarily researched revised edition, the
authors have collected every fact about America's favorite female sleuth,
Kinsey Millhone. Collaborating and consulting with Sue Grafton, the author of
the Kinsey Millhone alphabet mysteries and the creator of Kinsey, the authors
give Kinsey fans a notable reference for that once mentioned fact they're just
dying to know.
In which book was a hit man after Kinsey?
What does Kinsey think of killing?
Who are Kinsey's friends?
What does Kinsey laugh at?
Where did Kinsey get her P.I. training?
The answers to these questions and hundreds more await readers of "G" Is for
Grafton. The book also includes a chapter on Grafton's writing style and
Graftons thoughts on Kinsey.
Updated through "O" Is for Outlaw.
Enjoy!
